Item 1. Business

Overview

World Fuel Services Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida in July 1984 and along with its consolidated subsidiaries is referred to collectively in this Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Form 10-K”) as “World Fuel,” “we,” “our” and “us.”

We are a leading global fuel logistics company, principally engaged in the marketing, sale and distribution of aviation, marine, and land fuel products and related services on a worldwide basis. We compete by providing our customers value-added benefits, including single-supplier convenience, competitive pricing, the availability of trade credit, price risk management, logistical support, fuel quality control and fuel procurement outsourcing. We have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine, and land. We primarily contract with third parties for the delivery and storage of fuel products and in a limited amount of cases own storage and transportation assets for strategic purposes. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related services to major commercial airlines, second and third-tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments, and we also offer card processing services in connection with the purchase of aviation fuel and related services. In our marine segment, we offer fuel and related services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our land segment, we offer fuel and related services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial and government customers.

We have offices located in the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany, Greece, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Canada, South Africa and Gibraltar. See “Item 2 - Properties” for a list of principal offices by business segment and “Exhibit 21.1 - Subsidiaries of the Registrant” included in this Form 10-K for a list of our subsidiaries.

Financial information with respect to our business segments and the geographic areas of our business is provided in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Our principal executive offices are located at 9800 Northwest 41st Street, Suite 400, Miami, Florida 33178 and our telephone number at this address is (305) 428-8000.

Aviation Segment

We market fuel and related services to major commercial airlines, second and third-tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low-cost carriers, flight based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments. Our aviation-related services include fuel management, price risk management, arranging ground handling, providing global dispatch services 24 hours a day, seven days of the week, and arranging and providing international trip planning, including flight plans, weather reports and overflight permits. In addition, we offer a private label charge card to customers in the general aviation industry. Our customers require cost effective and professional fuel services, since fuel is a major component of an aircraft’s operating costs. We have developed an extensive network of third-party suppliers and service providers that enables us to provide aviation fuel and related services throughout the world. We believe the breadth of our service offering combined with our global supplier network is a strategic differentiator that allows customers to secure fuel and high-quality services in any location worldwide on short notice.

We purchase our aviation fuel from suppliers worldwide and then it is typically delivered into our customers’ aircraft or designated storage directly from our suppliers pursuant to arrangements with them or from our fuel inventory pursuant to contracts with various third parties. Inventory is purchased at airport locations or shipped via pipelines and held at multiple locations for strategic reasons. We typically hedge inventory in pipelines in an effort to protect us against price risk. We also engage in both contract sales, which are sales made pursuant to fuel purchase contracts with customers who commit to purchasing fuel from us over the contract term, and spot sales, which are sales that do not involve continuing contractual obligations by our customers to purchase fuel from us. Our cost of fuel is generally tied to market-based formulas or is government controlled and our suppliers typically extend unsecured trade credit to us. We may prepay our fuel purchases when limited by the amount of credit extended to us by suppliers or as required to transact business in certain countries. We also enter into derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations of certain of our transactions and to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs.

During each of the years presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, none of our aviation customers accounted for more than 10% of total consolidated revenue.

Marine Segment

We market fuel and related services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. Through our extensive network of offices, we provide our customers with real-time global market intelligence and rapid access to quality and competitively priced marine fuel 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our marine fuel related services include management services for the procurement of fuel, cost control through the use of price hedging instruments, quality control and claims management. Our customers require cost effective and professional fuel services, since fuel is a major component of a vessel’s operating costs.

We primarily act as a reseller, generally taking delivery for fuel purchased at the same place and time as the fuel is sold, mark it up and contemporaneously resell the fuel to our customer. We also sell fuel from our inventory, which we maintain in certain locations for strategic reasons in storage facilities that we own or lease and generally hedge in an effort to protect us against price risk. We also act as a broker where we are paid a commission for negotiating the transaction by arranging the fuel purchase contract between the supplier and the end user and expediting the arrangements for the delivery of fuel. In addition, we enter into derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations on certain of our transactions and to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs.

The majority of our marine segment activity consists of spot sales. Our cost of fuel is generally tied to spot pricing or market-based formulas or is government controlled, and our suppliers typically extend unsecured trade credit to us.

2

We also contract with third parties to provide various services for our customers, including fueling of vessels in port and at sea, and transportation and delivery of fuel and fuel products.

During each of the years presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, none of our marine customers accounted for more than 10% of total consolidated revenue.

Land Segment

We market fuel and related services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators and industrial, commercial and government customers and operate a small number of retail gasoline stations. Our land-related services include management services for the procurement of fuel and price risk management. We provide land fuel and related services throughout most of the United States as well as parts of Brazil and the United Kingdom.

We act as a reseller, where we purchase fuel from a supplier, mark it up and contemporaneously resell it to our customers through spot sales and contract sales. Fuel is delivered to our customers directly or at designated tanker truck loading terminals commonly referred to as “racks”, which are owned and operated by our suppliers or other third-parties, or directly to customer locations through third party carriers. We also maintain inventory in certain locations including pipelines and ship inventory via railcar. Inventory held in storage or being shipped is typically hedged in an effort to protect us against price risk. Our cost of fuel is generally tied to market-based formulas, and our suppliers typically extend unsecured trade credit to us. We also enter into derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations for certain of our transactions and to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs. Additionally, we operate a small number of retail gas stations in the U.S.

During each of the years presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of income, none of our land customers accounted for more than 10% of total consolidated revenue.

Competitors

Our competitors within the highly fragmented world-wide downstream markets of aviation, marine and land fuel are numerous, ranging from large multinational corporations, principally major oil producers, which have significantly greater capital resources, to relatively small and specialized firms. We compete with the major oil producers that market fuel directly to the large commercial airlines, shipping companies and petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market as well as fuel resellers. We believe that our extensive market knowledge, worldwide presence, logistical expertise, extension of credit and use of derivatives to provide fuel pricing alternatives give us the ability to compete in the marketplace.

Employees

As of February 15, 2011, we employed 1,499 people worldwide.

Regulation

Our current and past activities are subject to substantial regulation by federal, state and local government agencies, inside and outside the United States, which enforce laws and regulations governing the transportation, sale, storage and disposal of fuel and the collection, transportation, processing, storage, use and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, including waste oil and petroleum products. For example, U.S. federal and state environmental laws applicable to us include statutes that: (i) allocate the cost of remedying contamination among specifically identified parties and prevent future contamination; (ii) impose national ambient standards and, in some cases, emission standards, for air pollutants that present a risk to public health or welfare; (iii) govern the management, treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes; and (iv) regulate the discharge of pollutants into waterways. International treaties also prohibit the discharge of petroleum products at sea. The penalties for

3

violations of environmental laws include injunctive relief, recovery of damages for injury to air, water or property, and fines for non-compliance. See “Item 1A - Risk Factors,” and “Item 3 – Legal Proceedings.”

We may also be affected by new environmental laws and regulations that apply to us or our customers in the future, which could reduce the demand for our products and services. For example, as a result of international efforts to address climate change concerns, international accords aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions have been ratified by many countries outside of the U.S. In the U.S., several bills have been introduced in Congress, one of which has been passed by the House, that would compel carbon dioxide (“CO2”) emission reductions, and a number of U.S. states are discussing either state-specific legislation or participation in regional programs that could mandate future reductions in GHG emissions or otherwise manage those emissions. Although the likelihood of such measures being enacted and the specific requirements of any such regime are highly uncertain, they could affect our operations, earnings and competitive position.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report and the information incorporated by reference in it, or made by us in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), press releases, teleconferences, industry conferences or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “plan,” or words or phrases of similar meaning.

Forward-looking statements are estimates and projections reflecting our best judgment and involve risks, uncertainties or other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our management’s expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information.

Examples of forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, effectiveness of internal controls to manage risk, working capital, liquidity, capital expenditure requirements and future acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of fuel from suppliers, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, outcome of pending litigation, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

• customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts;

• changes in the market price of fuel;

• changes in the political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;

• our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks and the use of derivatives;

• non-performance by counterparties or customers to derivatives contracts;

4

• changes in credit terms extended to us from our suppliers;

• non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments; non-performance of third-party service providers;

• adverse conditions in the industries in which our customers operate, including a continuation of the global recession and its impact on the airline and shipping industries;

• currency exchange fluctuations;

• failure of the fuel we sell to meet specifications;

• our ability to manage growth;

• our ability to integrate acquired businesses;

• material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel;

• uninsured losses;

• the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes;

• our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants in our senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”);

• the liquidity and solvency of banks within our Credit Facility;

• increases in interest rates;

• declines in the value and liquidity of cash equivalents and investments;

• our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;

• changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws or changes in the mix of taxable income among different tax jurisdictions;

• our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations including those related to anti-corruption, economic sanctions programs and environmental matters;

• increased levels of competition;

• the outcome of litigation; and

• other risks, including those described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-K are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers in connection with their purchases of fuel from us, and our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely affected if we are unable to collect accounts receivable.

We extend unsecured credit to most of our customers in connection with their purchases of fuel from us. Our success in attracting customers has been due, in part, to our willingness to extend credit on an unsecured basis to customers that would otherwise be required to prepay or post letters of credit with other suppliers of fuel and related services. While no single customer represents more than 10% of our total consolidated revenue, diversification of credit risk is limited because we sell primarily within the aviation, marine and land transportation industries.

Our exposure to credit losses will depend on the financial condition of our customers and other factors beyond our control, such as deteriorating conditions in the world economy or in the aviation, marine or land transportation industries, political instability, terrorist activities, military action and natural disasters in our market areas. The unprecedented levels of disruption and volatility in the credit and financial markets over the past several years have increased our possible exposure to customer credit risk because it has made it harder for our customers to access sufficient capital to meet their liquidity needs. This market turmoil coupled with a reduction of business activity generally increases our risks related to our status as an unsecured creditor of most of our customers. Credit losses, if significant, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to counterparty risk in connection with certain of our contracts. The soundness of our counterparties, which include our customers and suppliers and financial institutions, could adversely affect us.

We have exposure to the aviation, marine and land fuel industries as well as to our customers and suppliers in those industries. As part of our price risk management services, we offer our customers various pricing structures on future purchases of fuel, as well as derivative products designed to assist our customers in hedging their exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices. For example, in the ordinary course of business we enter into fixed forward pricing contracts with our customers and suppliers under which we agree to sell or purchase, as the case may be, fuel at fixed prices and they agree to purchase or sell, as the case may be, fixed volumes of fuel during the term of the contract. If there is a significant fluctuation in the price of fuel, there is a risk they could decide to, or be forced to, default under their obligations to us. Even if the counterparty to a fixed forward pricing contract does not default, if a customer has agreed to purchase fuel from us at a fixed price and the price of fuel subsequently drops, we will be, in effect, extending unsecured credit to that customer at the time the fuel is purchased. We have credit standards and perform credit evaluations of our customers and suppliers, which are based in part on our credit history with the applicable party. In this difficult economic environment, our credit evaluations may be inaccurate and we cannot assure you that credit performance will not be materially worse than anticipated, and, as a result, materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

We also use derivatives to hedge certain of our fuel inventories and certain purchase and sale commitments. In connection with these activities, we are exposed to financial risk associated with fluctuations in fuel prices. We typically hedge this risk by entering into commodity-based derivative instruments with financial institution counterparties, such as broker/dealers, commercial banks and investment banks. These transactions are typically done on an unsecured basis. Should any counterparty fail to honor its obligations under our agreements with them, we could sustain significant losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the SEC and other U.S. and foreign regulators have considered, and are expected to continue considering, greater regulation of oil, gas and other energy markets. The regulation under consideration includes, among other things, proposed position limits, climate change legislation and legislation that would require the central clearance of

6

over-the-counter derivatives and impose margin requirements on certain market participants. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law, including Title VII, titled “Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010”. Among other things, it provides for new federal regulation of the swaps market and gives the CFTC and the SEC broad authority to regulate the swaps market and its principal participants. We are currently evaluating how this legislation will impact our business, but because of the sweeping nature of the changes to be made, as well as the need for clarifying and implementing regulations and/or technical corrections, at this time, we cannot predict whether or how our ability to conduct our business will be impacted. Some of these new regulations could lead to increased costs and liquidity requirements to participants in the swaps market. The timing and scope of this and other regulation is uncertain, but any such regulation could change the efficiency of the derivative markets and the volatility in the commodity and underlying markets and impact our ability to offer derivative and other price management products. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our and our customers’ respective businesses, financial conditions and results of operations.

We are exposed to various risks in connection with our use of derivatives.

We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. The majority of our derivatives are not designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes and therefore changes in the fair market value of such derivatives are recognized as a component of revenue or cost of revenue (based on the underlying transaction type) in our consolidated income statement. Our efforts to hedge our exposure to fuel price fluctuations could be ineffective. For example, there currently is no market for aviation jet fuel futures so we enter into hedging transactions with respect to our aviation business by trading in heating oil futures. To the extent the price of aviation jet fuel and heating oil are not correlated, then our attempts to mitigate price risk associated with our aviation business would not be effective. For purposes of hedging, heating oil is not a perfect substitute for aviation jet fuel and short-term significant pricing differences may occur. For example, in the period immediately following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the price of aviation jet fuel increased substantially while the price of heating oil remained relatively constant. Our hedging activity is in the Level II and Level III categories within the fair value hierarchy set out by accounting guidance for fair value measurements and as such requires a high degree of subjective assessment and judgment by management in connection with determining fair value. In addition, proprietary derivative transactions, by their nature, entail exposure to adverse changes in commodity prices in relation to the proprietary position. Although we have established limits on such exposure, any such adverse changes could result in losses. The risks we face because of our use of financial derivatives can be exacerbated by volatility in the financial and other markets. In addition, we may fail to adequately hedge our risks or could otherwise incur losses if our employees fail to comply with our policies and procedures on hedging or proprietary trading, for example by failing to hedge a specific financial risk or to observe limits on exposure, which could subject us to significant financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Changes in the market price of fuel may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Fuel prices have been extremely volatile in the recent past, are likely to continue to be volatile in the future and depend on factors outside the control of the Company, such as:

• expected and actual supply and demand for fuel;

• political conditions;

• laws and regulations related to environmental matters, including those mandating or incentivizing alternative energy sources or otherwise addressing global climate change;

• changes in pricing or production controls by OPEC;

• technological advances affecting energy consumption and supply;

7

• energy conversation efforts;

• price and availability of alternative fuels; and

• weather.

A rapid decline in fuel prices could cause our inventory value to be higher than market, resulting in our inventory being marked down to market or the inventory itself sold at lower prices. If fuel prices increase, our customers may not be able to purchase as much fuel from us because of their credit limits, which could also adversely impact their businesses sufficiently to cause them to be unable to make payments owed to us for fuel purchased on credit. They may also choose to reduce the amount of fuel they consume in their operations to reduce costs or to otherwise comply with new environmental regulations to obtain incentives associated therewith. There would be no assurance that the volume of orders from our customers would increase again or that we would be able to replace lost volumes with new customers. In addition, if fuel prices increase, our own credit limits could prevent us from purchasing enough fuel from our suppliers to meet our customers’ demands or could require us to use so much cash for fuel purchases as to impair our liquidity.

We maintain fuel inventories for competitive reasons. Because fuel is a commodity, we have no control over the changing market value of our inventory. Our inventory is valued using the average cost methodology and is stated at the lower of average cost or market. Accordingly, if the market value of our inventory was less than our average cost, we would record a write-down of inventory and a non-cash charge to cost of revenue. In addition, we may not be able to sell our inventory at the market value or average cost reflected in our financial statements at any given time.

Economic, political and other risks associated with international sales and operations could adversely affect our business and future operating results.

Because we resell fuel worldwide, our business is subject to risks associated with doing business internationally. Our business and future operating results could be harmed by a variety of factors, including:

• trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements, which could increase our costs of doing business internationally;

• the costs of hiring and retaining senior management for overseas operations;

• difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations, which could reduce our productivity;

• unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, which may be costly and require significant time to implement;

• laws restricting us from repatriating profits earned from our activities within foreign countries, including the payment of distributions, or otherwise limiting the movement of funds;

• governmental actions that may result in the deprivation of our contractual rights or the inability to obtain or retain authorizations required to conduct our business;

• political risks specific to foreign jurisdictions; and

• terrorism, war, civil unrest and natural disasters.

In particular, we operate in emerging markets, such as Russia and certain countries in Asia and Latin America, which have been plagued by corruption and have uncertain regulatory environments, both of which could have a negative impact on our operations there. Many countries in which we operate historically have been and may continue to be susceptible to recessions or currency devaluation.

We also operate in certain high risk locations such as Iraq and Afghanistan that are experiencing military action or continued unrest which could disrupt the supply of fuel or otherwise disrupt our operations there. In these high risk locations where we have operations, we may incur substantial costs to maintain the safety of our personnel. Despite these activities, in these locations, we cannot guarantee the safety of our personnel, and we may suffer future losses of employees or subcontractors.

Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could materially affect our reported results.

The majority of our business transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. However, in certain markets, payments to some of our fuel suppliers and from some of our customers are denominated in local currency. We also have certain liabilities primarily for local operations, including income and transactional taxes, which are denominated in foreign currencies. This subjects us to foreign currency exchange risk. Although we use hedging strategies to manage and minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange risk, at any given time, only a portion of

8

such risk may be hedged and such risk may be substantial. As a result, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could adversely affect our profitability.

In addition, many of our customers are foreign customers and may be required to purchase U.S. dollars to pay for our products and services. A rapid depreciation or devaluation in currency affecting our customers could have an adverse effect on our customers’ operations and their ability to convert local currency to U.S. dollars to make required payments to us. This could in turn increase our credit losses and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Third parties who fail to provide services to us and our customers as agreed could harm our business.

We use third parties to provide various services to our customers, including into-plane fueling at airports, fueling of vessels in port and at sea and delivering land-based fuel. The failure of these third parties to perform these services in accordance with contractual terms for any reason, such as an interruption of their business because of weather, environmental or labor difficulties or political unrest, could affect our relationships with our customers and subject us to claims and other liabilities which might have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

To the extent that we use third parties in our operations in emerging markets, we are also subject to the risk that we could be held accountable for the failure of these third parties to comply with the laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various international jurisdictions.

If the fuel we purchase from our suppliers fails to meet our contractual specifications we have agreed to supply to our customers, our business could be adversely affected.

We purchase the fuel we resell from various suppliers. If the fuel we resell fails to meet the specifications we have agreed to with customers, our relationship with our customers could be adversely affected and we could be subject to claims and other liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although in most cases we have recourse against our suppliers for fuel which fails to meet contractual specifications, such recourse cannot be assured.

Non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments could disrupt our business.

We enter into sale and purchase agreements with customers and suppliers for fuel at fixed prices. To the extent either a customer or supplier fails to perform on their commitment, we may be required to sell or purchase the fuel at prevailing market prices, which could be significantly different than the fixed price within the sale and purchase agreements and therefore significant differences in these prices could cause losses that would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel would adversely affect our business.

The success of our business depends on our ability to purchase, sell and coordinate delivery of fuel and fuel-related services to our customers. Our business would be adversely affected to the extent that political instability, natural disasters, terrorist activity, military action or other conditions disrupt the availability or supply of fuel. In addition, we rely on a single or limited number of suppliers for the provision of fuel and related services in certain markets. These parties may have significant negotiation leverage over us, so should they be unable or unwilling to supply us on commercially reasonable terms, our business would be adversely affected.

Adverse conditions in the aviation, marine and land transportation industries may have an adverse effect on our business.

Our business is focused on the marketing of fuel and fuel-related services to the aviation, marine and land transportation industries. These industries are generally affected by economic cycles and therefore weak economic conditions can have a negative impact on the business of our customers which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business. In addition, any political instability, natural disasters, terrorist activity or military action that disrupts shipping, flight operations or land transportation will adversely affect our customers and may reduce the demand for our products and services. Our business could also be adversely affected by increased merger activity in the aviation, marine or land transportation industries, which may reduce the number of customers that purchase our products and services, as well as the prices we are able to charge for such products and services.

In addition, the aviation, marine and land transportation industries are subject to laws and regulations related to environmental matters, including those mandating or incentivizing alternative energy sources or otherwise addressing global climate change, which may reduce the demand for our products and services. The scientific community, led largely by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, has provided scientific evidence that human activity, and particularly the combustion of fossil fuels, has increased the levels of GHGs, in the atmosphere and contributed to observed changes in the global climate system. These findings have led to proposals for substantial transformation of the world’s energy production and transportation systems in order to slow, and ultimately reduce, the production of CO2 and other GHG emissions sufficiently to reduce their atmospheric concentrations. As a result, our customers could be required to purchase allowances or offsets to emit GHGs or other regulated pollutants or to pay taxes on such emissions. The ultimate legislation and regulations that result from these activities could have a material impact on our business and on the businesses of our customers.

Insurance coverage for some of our operations may be insufficient to cover losses.

Although we maintain insurance to cover risks associated with the operation of our business, there can be no assurance that the types of insurance we obtain or the level of coverage will be adequate. Also, if we take, or fail to take, certain actions, our insurance carriers may refuse to pay particular claims. If the cost of insurance increases, we may decide to discontinue certain insurance coverage or reduce our level of coverage to offset the cost increase. In addition, insurance coverage that we currently have could become difficult or impossible to obtain in the future.

Our failure to comply with the restrictions of our Credit Facility could adversely affect our operating flexibility.

We have the ability to borrow money pursuant to a Credit Facility that imposes certain operating and financial covenants on us, such as limiting or prohibiting our ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt, create liens, make restricted payments, sell assets or engage in mergers or acquisitions. Our failure to comply with obligations under the Credit Facility, including meeting certain financial ratios, could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, could trigger cross-defaults under other agreements to which we are a party, such as certain derivatives contracts and promissory notes issued in connection with acquisitions, and would impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and letters of credit, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our cash equivalents and investments are subject to risks which may cause illiquidity and losses from declines in value.

Our cash equivalents, principally consisting of overnight investments, bank money market accounts, bank time deposits, money market mutual funds and investment grade commercial paper, are subject to credit, liquidity, market and interest rate risk, which can be exacerbated by volatility in the capital markets. Adverse changes to these risks

10

could result in the decline of the fair value of our cash equivalents and investments and could materially affect our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

Our business is dependent on the ability to obtain financing to meet our capital requirements and fund our future growth, which may be particularly difficult to obtain if there is volatility in the credit and capital markets.

We rely on credit arrangements with banks, suppliers and other parties as a significant source of liquidity for capital requirements not satisfied by operating cash flow. A substantial tightening of the global credit markets could affect our ability to obtain credit as and when we need it on commercially reasonable terms or at all and, consequently, could have a negative impact on our future development and growth. If we are unable to obtain debt financing and instead raise capital through an equity issuance, existing shareholders would be diluted. Even if we are able to obtain debt financing, the restrictions creditors place on our operations and our increased interest expense and leverage could limit our ability to grow.

If we are unable to retain our senior management and key employees, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

Our ability to maintain our competitive position is largely dependent on the services of our senior management and professional team. Although we have employment agreements with certain of our key executive officers, the employment agreements do not prevent those officers from ceasing their employment with us at any time. If we are unable to retain existing senior management and professional personnel, or to attract other qualified senior management and professional personnel on terms satisfactory to us, our business will be adversely affected. While we maintain key man life insurance with respect to certain members of our senior management, our coverage levels may not be sufficient to offset any losses we may suffer as a result of departing officers, and there is no assurance that we will continue to maintain key man life insurance in the future.

Businesses we have acquired or may acquire in the future as well as strategic investments will expose us to increased operating risks.

As part of our growth strategy, we have been acquisitive and intend to continue to explore acquisition opportunities of fuel resellers and other related service businesses. For example, we purchased the Hiller Group Incorporated and certain affiliates (“Hiller”), Shell Company of Gibraltar Limited (“Gib Oil”), Western Petroleum Company (“Western”), certain assets of Lakeside Oil Company, Inc. (the “Lakeside business”) and Falmouth Oil Services Limited (the “FOS business”) in 2010. We cannot provide any assurance that we will find attractive acquisition candidates in the future, that we will be able to acquire such candidates on economically acceptable terms, or that we will be able to finance acquisitions on economically acceptable terms. Even if we are able to acquire new businesses in the future, they could result in the incurrence of substantial additional indebtedness and other expenses or potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities and may affect the market price of our common stock, inhibit our ability to pay dividends or restrict our operations.

These investments could expose us to additional business and operating risks and uncertainties, including:

• the ability to effectively integrate and manage acquired businesses or strategic investments, while maintaining uniform standards and controls;

• the ability to realize our investment and anticipated synergies in the acquired businesses or strategic investments;

• the diversion of management’s time and attention from other business concerns, the potentially negative impact of changes in management on existing business relationships and other disruptions of our business;

• the risks associated with entering markets in which we may have no or limited direct prior experience;

• the potential loss of key employees, customers or suppliers of the acquired businesses;

11

• the requirement to write-down acquired assets as a result of the acquired business being worth less than we paid for it;

• capital expenditure requirements exceeding our estimates;

• the risk that an acquisition or strategic investment could reduce our future earnings; and

• the assumption of material liabilities, exposure to unknown liabilities, and no or limited indemnities.

Changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws could adversely affect our business and future operating results.

We are affected by various U.S. and foreign taxes imposed on the purchase and sale of aviation, marine and land fuel products. These taxes include sales, excise, GST, VAT, and other taxes. Changes in U.S. and foreign tax laws or our failure to comply with those tax laws could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our international operations require us to comply with applicable U.S. and international laws and regulations.

Doing business on a worldwide basis requires the Company and its subsidiaries to comply with the laws and regulations of the U.S. government and various international jurisdictions. These regulations place restrictions on our operations, trade practices and partners and investment decisions. In particular, our international operations are subject to U.S. and foreign anti-corruption laws and regulations, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”), and economic sanction programs administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”). The FCPA prohibits us from providing anything of value to foreign officials for the purposes of influencing official decisions or obtaining or retaining business. As part of our business, we regularly deal with state-owned business enterprises, the employees of which are considered foreign officials for purposes of the FCPA. In addition, some of the international locations in which we operate lack a developed legal system and have higher than normal levels of corruption. Economic sanctions programs restrict our business dealings with certain countries and individuals. From time to time, certain of our subsidiaries have had limited business dealings in countries subject to comprehensive OFAC-administered sanctions, specifically Cuba, Iran and Sudan. These business dealings, which represent an insignificant amount of our consolidated revenues and income, generally consist of the purchase of overflight permits and the provision of flight support and fuel services pursuant to licenses issued by OFAC or as otherwise permitted by U.S. sanctions regulations. As a result of the above activities, we are exposed to a heightened risk of violating anti-corruption laws and OFAC regulations. Violations of these regulations are punishable by civil penalties, including fines, denial of export privileges, injunctions, asset seizures, debarment from government contracts and revocations or restrictions of licenses, as well as criminal fines and imprisonment.

We have established policies and procedures designed to assist the Company’s and its personnel’s compliance with applicable U.S. and international laws and regulations. However, there can be no assurance that our policies and procedures will effectively prevent us from violating these regulations in every transaction in which we may engage, and such a violation could adversely affect our reputation, business, financial condition and results of operations. In addition, various state and municipal governments, universities and other investors maintain prohibitions or restrictions on investments in companies that do business with sanctioned countries, which could adversely affect the market for our securities.

On April 19, 2009, we received an administrative subpoena from OFAC requesting information regarding transactions that the Company has conducted involving Cuba since April 1, 2004. Upon receipt of this subpoena, we initiated an internal review to identify transactions involving Cuba, and we voluntarily expanded the scope of this review to include transactions involving Iran and Sudan. On December 8, 2009, we received a separate administrative subpoena from OFAC requesting information regarding the Company’s transactions involving Sudanese overflight payments since June 30, 2008. We responded to both subpoenas and identified certain transactions that may have resulted in violations of U.S. sanctions regulations or our OFAC-issued licenses, including the failure to make certain periodic reports as required by our OFAC-issued licenses and a small number of sanctioned country-related transactions which took place after one of our licenses had expired. In our responses to OFAC, we noted that the transactions we identified as potential violations resulted in very small amounts of revenue

12

to us, and that we intend to take certain remedial actions to further strengthen our compliance related policies and procedures. Nevertheless, should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of U.S. sanctions regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against the Company. Additionally, in the course of its ongoing review, OFAC could request additional information from us, in the form of additional subpoenas or otherwise, and we intend to fully cooperate with any such additional subpoenas or requests. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the OFAC review, the total costs to be incurred in response to this review, the potential impact on our personnel, the effect of implementing any further measures that may be necessary to ensure full compliance with U.S. sanctions regulations or to what extent, if at all, we could be subject to fines, sanctions or other penalties.

We face intense competition and, if we are not able to effectively compete in our markets, our revenues and profits may decrease.

Competitive pressures in our markets could adversely affect our competitive position, leading to a possible loss of market share or a decrease in prices, either of which could result in decreased revenues and profits. Our competitors are numerous, ranging from large multinational corporations, which have significantly greater capital resources than us, to relatively small and specialized firms. In addition to competing with fuel resellers, we also compete with the major oil producers that market fuel directly to the large commercial airlines, shipping companies and petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market. Although many major oil companies have been divesting their downstream assets, some continue to compete with us in certain markets while others may decide to reenter the market in the future. Our business could be adversely affected because of increased competition from these oil companies, who may choose to increase their direct marketing or provide less advantageous price and credit terms to us than to our fuel reseller competitors.

Reduced sales to our government customers could adversely affect our profitability

We have a large and varied customer base. During 2010, no individual customer accounted for sales totaling more than 10% of our sales. However, due to the higher level of profitability associated with our government services business, the loss of a significant government customer or a material reduction in sales to a significant government customer could adversely affect our operating margins, our profitability and our results of operations.

If we fail to comply with environmental laws and other government regulations applicable to our operations, we could suffer penalties or costs that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We are required to comply with extensive and complex environmental laws and other regulations at the international, federal, state and local government levels relating to, among other things:

• the handling of fuel and fuel products;

• the operation of fuel storage and distribution facilities;

• workplace safety;

• fuel spillage or seepage;

• environmental damage; and

• hazardous waste disposal.

If we should fail to comply with these laws and other regulations, we could be subject to substantial fines or penalties and to civil and criminal liability.

If we are involved in a spill, leak, fire, explosion or other accident involving hazardous substances or if there are releases of fuel or fuel products we own, our operations could be disrupted and we could be subject to material liabilities, such as the cost of investigating and remediating contaminated properties or claims by customers, employees or others who may have been injured, or whose property may have been damaged. These liabilities, to the extent not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some environmental laws impose strict liability, which means we could have liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.

In addition, compliance with existing and future environmental laws regulating fuel storage terminals, fuel delivery vessels and barges and underground storage tanks that we own or operate may require significant capital expenditures and increased operating and maintenance costs. The remediation and other costs required to clean up or treat contaminated sites could be substantial and may not be covered by insurance.

13

Our fuel storage and vessel and barge operations have inherent risks that could negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

Operating fuel storage terminals and fuel delivery vessels and barges carries with it the inherent risks of oil spills and other environmental mishaps, fires, collisions and other catastrophic disasters, loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment, loss of product and business interruption. Damage arising from such occurrences may result in third party lawsuits asserting large claims. We maintain insurance to mitigate these costs, but there can be no assurance that our insurance would be sufficient to cover the liabilities suffered by us from the occurrence of one or more of the risks described above. Further, if we are negligent or otherwise responsible in connection with any such event, our insurance may not cover our claim. Any of these occurrences, and any resulting media coverage, could have a material adverse effect on our stock price and on our business, results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

If we are held liable for clean up and other costs related to several businesses we exited, which handled hazardous and non-hazardous waste, such liability could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We have exited several businesses, such as the waste management and remediation services business, that handled hazardous and non-hazardous waste. We treated and/or transported this waste to various disposal facilities in the United States. We have been sued in the past and may be sued in the future as a potentially responsible party for the clean up of such disposal facilities and may be held liable for these and other clean up costs pursuant to U.S. federal and state laws and regulations. In addition, under these laws and regulations, we may be required to clean up facilities previously operated by us.

Our operations may be adversely affected by competition from other energy sources.

Fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. In addition, we cannot predict the effect that the development of alternative energy sources might have on our operations.

Current and future litigation could have an adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is currently involved in certain legal proceedings in the ordinary course of its business. Lawsuits and other legal proceedings can involve substantial costs, including the costs associated with investigation, litigation and possible settlement, judgment, penalty or fine. Although insurance is maintained to mitigate these costs, there can be no assurance that costs associated with lawsuits or other legal proceedings will not exceed the limits of insurance policies. The Company’s results of operations could be adversely affected if a judgment, penalty or fine is not fully covered by insurance.

We are exposed to risks from legislation requiring companies to have adequate internal controls over financial reporting and to evaluate those internal controls.

Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires our management to assess, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting. We completed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, and we have an ongoing program to perform the system and process evaluation and testing necessary to continue to comply with these requirements. Our expansive international operations exacerbate the risks associated with the need to maintain effective internal controls. Accordingly, we expect to continue to incur increased expense and to devote additional management resources to Section 404 compliance. In the event that our chief executive officer, chief financial officer or independent registered public accounting firm determines that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective as defined under Section 404, investor perceptions and our reputation may be adversely affected and the market price of our stock could decline. Moreover, even if we and our

14

auditors do not identify any concerns about our internal control system, it may not prevent all potential errors or fraud.

An increase in interest rates may cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Like all equity investments, an investment in our common stock is subject to certain risks. In exchange for accepting these risks, investors may expect to receive a higher rate of return than would otherwise be obtainable from lower-risk investments. Accordingly, as interest rates rise, the ability of investors to obtain higher risk-adjusted rates of return by purchasing government-backed debt securities may cause a corresponding decline in demand for riskier investments generally, including yield-based equity investments such as publicly traded corporate interests. Reduced demand for our common stock resulting from investors seeking other more favorable investment opportunities may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline.

Failure to comply with state laws regulating the sale of alcohol and tobacco products in our convenience stores may result in the loss of necessary licenses and the imposition of penalties on us, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

State laws regulate the sale of alcohol and tobacco products in our convenience stores. A violation or change of these laws could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations because state and local regulatory agencies have the power to approve, revoke, suspend or deny applications for, and renewals of, permits and licenses relating to the sale of these products or to seek other remedies.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

Miami Airport Litigation

In April 2001, Miami-Dade County, Florida (“the County”) filed suit (the “County Suit”) in the state circuit court in and for Miami-Dade County against 17 defendants to seek reimbursement for the cost of remediating environmental contamination at Miami International Airport (the “Airport”).

Also in April 2001, the County sent a letter to approximately 250 potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”), including World Fuel Services Corporation and one of our subsidiaries, advising of our potential liability for the clean-up costs of the contamination that is the subject of the County Suit. The County has threatened to add the PRPs as defendants in the County Suit, unless they agree to share in the cost of the environmental clean-up at the Airport. We have advised the County that: (i) neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were responsible for any environmental contamination at the Airport and (ii) to the extent that we or any of our subsidiaries were so responsible, our liability was subject to indemnification by the County pursuant to the indemnity provisions contained in our lease agreement with the County.

If we are added as a defendant in the County Suit, we will vigorously defend any claims, and we believe our liability in these matters (if any) should be adequately covered by the indemnification obligations of the County.

Brendan Airways Litigation

One of our subsidiaries, World Fuel Services, Inc. (“WFSI”) is involved in a dispute with Brendan Airways, LLC (“Brendan”), an aviation fuel customer, with respect to certain amounts Brendan claims to have been overcharged in connection with fuel sale transactions from 2003 to 2006. In August 2007, WFSI filed an action in the state circuit court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida seeking declaratory relief with respect to the matters disputed by Brendan. In October 2007, Brendan filed a counterclaim against WFSI. In February 2008, the court dismissed WFSI’s declaratory action. Brendan’s counterclaim remains pending as a separate lawsuit against WFSI, and Brendan is seeking $4.5 million in damages, plus interest and attorney’s fees, in its pending action. We believe Brendan’s claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend all of Brendan’s claims.

As of December 31, 2010, we had recorded certain reserves related to the proceedings described above which were not significant. Because the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we may not prevail in these proceedings and we cannot estimate our ultimate exposure in such proceedings if we do not prevail. Accordingly, a ruling against us in any of the above proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Matters

In addition to the matters described above, we are involved in litigation and administrative proceedings primarily arising in the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, except as set forth above, our liability, if any, under any other pending litigation or administrative proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Item 6 - Selected Financial Data,” and with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ significantly from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements are described in “Item 1A – Risk Factors.”

Overview

We are a leading global fuel logistics company, principally engaged in the marketing, sale and distribution of aviation, marine, and land fuel products and related services on a worldwide basis. We compete by providing our customers value-added benefits, including single-supplier convenience, competitive pricing, the availability of trade credit, price risk management, logistical support, fuel quality control and fuel procurement outsourcing. We have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine, and land. We primarily contract with third parties for the delivery and storage of fuel products and in some cases own storage and transportation assets for strategic purposes. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related services to major commercial airlines, second and third-tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments, and we also offer card processing services in connection with the purchase of aviation fuel and related services. In our marine segment, we offer fuel and related services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our land segment, we offer fuel and related services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial and government customers. Additionally, we also operate a small number of retail gas stations in the U.S.

In our aviation and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel, and we do not act as brokers. Profit from our aviation and land segments is primarily determined by the volume and the gross profit achieved on fuel resales, and in the case of the aviation segment, a percentage of processed charge card revenue. In our marine

23

segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and also act as brokers for others. Profit from our marine segment is determined primarily by the volume and gross profit achieved on fuel resales and by the volume and commission rate of the brokering business. Our profitability in our segments also depends on our operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provide for potential bad debt.

Our revenue and cost of revenue are significantly impacted by world oil prices, as evidenced in part by our revenue and cost of revenue fluctuations in recent fiscal years, while our gross profit is not necessarily impacted by changes in world oil prices. However, due to our inventory average costing methodology, significant movements in fuel prices during any given financial period can have a significant impact on our gross profit, either positively or negatively depending on the direction, volatility and timing of such price movements.

We may experience decreases in future sales volumes and margins as a result of the ongoing deterioration in the world economy, transportation industry, natural disasters and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, as well as potential future terrorist activities and possible military retaliation. In addition, because fuel costs represent a significant part of our customers’ operating expenses, volatile and/or high fuel prices can adversely affect our customers’ businesses, and consequently the demand for our services and our results of operations. Our hedging activities may not be effective to mitigate volatile fuel prices and may expose us to counterparty risk. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Reportable Segments

We have three reportable operating segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segment based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. We evaluate and manage our business segments using the performance measurement of income from operations. Financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Form 10-K, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to unbilled revenue and related costs of sales, bad debt, share-based payment awards, derivatives, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets and certain accrued liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of fuel is recognized when the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and title passes to the customer, which is when the delivery of fuel is made to our customer directly from us, the supplier or a third-party subcontractor. Our fuel sales are generated as a fuel reseller as well as from on-hand inventory supply. When acting as a fuel reseller, we generally purchase fuel from the supplier, mark it up and contemporaneously resell the fuel to the customer, normally taking delivery for purchased fuel at the same

24

place and time as the delivery is made to the customer. We record the gross sale of the fuel as we generally take inventory risk, have latitude in establishing the sales price, have discretion in the supplier selection, maintain credit risk and are the primary obligor in the sales arrangement.

Revenue from fuel-related services is recognized when services are performed, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record the sale of fuel-related services on a gross basis as we generally have latitude in establishing the sales price, have discretion in supplier selection, maintain credit risk and are the primary obligor in the sales arrangement.

Commission from fuel broker services is recognized when services are performed and collectability is reasonably assured. When acting as a fuel broker, we are paid a commission by the supplier.

Revenue from charge card transactions is recognized at the time the purchase is made by the customer using the charge card. Revenue from charge card transactions is generated from processing fees.

Share-Based Payment Awards

We account for share-based payment awards on a fair value basis. Under fair value accounting, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award is amortized as compensation expense, on a straight-line basis, over the vesting period for both graded and cliff vesting awards. Annual compensation expense for share-based payment awards is reduced by an expected forfeiture amount on the outstanding share-based payment awards.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of Option Awards. The estimation of the fair value of Option Awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The expected term of Option Awards represents the estimated period of time from grant until exercise or conversion and is based on vesting schedules and expected post-vesting, exercise and employment termination behavior. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period that is equivalent to the award’s expected life. Any adjustment to the historical volatility as an indicator of future volatility would be based on the impact to historical volatility of significant non-recurring events that would not be expected in the future. Risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the period that is equivalent to the award’s expected life. Dividend yields are based on the historical dividends of World Fuel over the period that is equivalent to the award’s expected life, as adjusted for stock splits.

The estimated fair value of common stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units is based on the grant-date market value of our common stock, as defined in the respective plans under which the awards were granted.

Cash flows from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for share-based payment awards (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows. These excess income tax benefits were credited to capital in excess of par value.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debt

Credit extension, monitoring and collection are performed for each of our business segments. Each segment has a credit committee that is responsible for approving credit limits, setting and maintaining credit standards and managing the overall quality of the credit portfolio. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon a customer’s payment history and creditworthiness, as determined by our review of our customer’s credit information. We extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers. Accounts receivable are deemed past due based on contractual terms agreed with our customers.

25

We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience with our customers, current market and industry conditions affecting our customers and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. Historical payment trends may not be a useful indicator of current or future credit worthiness of our customers, particularly in these unprecedented difficult economic and financial markets. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for estimated credit losses.

If credit losses exceed established allowances, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. For additional information on the credit risks inherent in our business, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of this Form 10-K.

Inventories

Inventories are valued using the average cost methodology and are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Components of inventory include fuel purchase costs, the related transportation costs, storage fees, and for inventories included in a fair value hedge relationship, changes in the estimated fair market values.

Derivatives

We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (“NPNS”), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.

Our derivatives that are subject to the accounting guidance for derivative instruments are recognized at their estimated fair market value in accordance with the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. If the derivative does not qualify as a hedge or is not designated as a hedge, changes in the estimated fair market value of the derivative are recognized as a component of revenue or cost of revenue (based on the underlying transaction type) in the consolidated statement of income. Derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting may be designated as either a fair value or cash flow hedge. For our fair value hedges, changes in the estimated fair market value of the hedge instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the same line item as a component of either revenue or cost of revenue (based on the underlying transaction type) in the consolidated statement of income. For our cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair market value of the hedge is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and subsequently reclassified into the same line item as the forecasted transaction when both are settled, while the ineffective portion of the changes in the estimated fair market value of the hedge is recognized as a component of other non-operating expense/income in the consolidated statement of income. Cash flows for our hedging instruments used in our hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flow from the hedged items. If for any reason hedge accounting is discontinued, then any cash flows subsequent to the date of discontinuance shall be classified consistent with the nature of the instrument.

To qualify for hedge accounting, as either a fair value or cash flow hedge, the hedging relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items must be highly effective over an extended period of time in achieving the offset of changes in fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk at the inception of the hedge. We use a regression analysis based on historical spot prices in assessing the qualification for our fair value hedges. However,

26

our measurement of hedge ineffectiveness for our fair value inventory hedges utilizes spot prices for the hedged item (inventory) and forward or future prices for the hedge instrument. Therefore, the excluded component (forward or futures prices) in assessing hedge qualification, along with ineffectiveness, is included as a component of cost of revenue in earnings. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of hedged items is discontinued in instances where the related fair value hedging instrument becomes ineffective and any previously recorded fair market value changes are not adjusted until the fuel is sold.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the future earnings and cash flow potential of acquired businesses in excess of the fair values that are assigned to all other identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill arises because the purchase price paid reflects numerous factors, including the strategic fit and expected synergies these acquisitions bring to existing operations and the prevailing market value for comparable companies. Goodwill is not subject to periodic amortization; instead, it is reviewed annually at year-end (or more frequently under certain circumstances) for impairment. The initial step of the goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, which is the same as our reporting segments, with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of our reporting segments is estimated using discounted cash flows and market capitalization methodologies.

In connection with our acquisitions, we recorded identifiable intangible assets existing at the date of the acquisitions for customer relationships, supplier and non-compete agreements and trademark/trade name rights. Identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their estimated lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on market factors and operational considerations. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed annually for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value.

Extinguishment of Liability

In the normal course of business, we accrue liabilities for fuel and services received for which invoices have not yet been received. These liabilities are derecognized, or extinguished, if either 1) payment is made to relieve our obligation for the liability or 2) we are legally released from our obligation for the liability, such as when our legal obligations with respect to such liabilities lapse or otherwise no longer exist. During 2010, we derecognized vendor liability accruals due to the legal release of our obligations in the amount of $9.8 million, as compared to $8.6 million during 2009, which is reflected as a reduction of cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Results of Operations

The results of operations do not include the results of i) Hiller (aviation segment) prior to December 31, 2010, ii) Gib Oil (aviation, marine and land segments) prior to December 1, 2010, iii) Western (aviation and land segments) prior to October 1, 2010, iv) the Lakeside business (land segment) prior to July 1, 2010, v) the FOS business (marine segment) prior to January 1, 2010, vi) Henty (marine and land segments) or the TGS business (land segment) prior to April 1, 2009 or vii) the results of the Texor business (land segment) prior to June 1, 2008, the respective acquisition date of each of these acquired businesses.

27

2010 compared to 2009

Revenue. Our revenue for 2010 was $19.1 billion, an increase of $7.8 billion, or 69.4%, as compared to 2009. Our revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

	2010		2009		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	7,132,749	$	4,049,565	$	3,083,184
Marine segment		9,220,998		6,040,643		3,180,355
Land segment		2,777,400		1,204,969		1,572,431
Total	$	19,131,147	$	11,295,177	$	7,835,970

Our aviation segment contributed $7.1 billion in revenue for 2010, an increase of $3.1 billion, or 76.1% as compared to 2009. Of the total increase in aviation segment revenue, $1.7 billion was primarily due to increased sales volume from both new and existing customers. The remaining increase of $1.4 billion was due to an increase in the average price per gallon sold as a result of higher world oil prices in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Our marine segment contributed $9.2 billion in revenue for 2010, an increase of $3.2 billion, or 52.6%, as compared to 2009. Of the total increase in marine segment revenue, $2.2 billion was due to an increase in the average price per metric ton sold as a result of higher world oil prices in 2010 compared to 2009. The remaining increase of $1.0 billion was primarily due to increased sales volume from both new and existing customers.

Our land segment contributed $2.8 billion in revenue for 2010, an increase of $1.6 billion as compared to 2009. Of the total increase in land segment revenue, $1.1 billion resulted primarily from additional sales volume attributable to the inclusion of the results of the businesses acquired in 2010 since their respective acquisition dates and a full years results in 2010 from the businesses acquired in 2009. Additionally, sales volume increased to both new and existing customers. The remaining increase of $453.8 million was due to an increase in the average price per gallon sold as a result of higher world oil prices in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for 2010 was $442.1 million, an increase of $66.6 million, or 17.7%, as compared to 2009. Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

	2010		2009		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	215,130	$	163,730	$	51,400
Marine segment		165,344		168,890		(3,546	)
Land segment		61,667		42,971		18,696
Total	$	442,141	$	375,591	$	66,550

Our aviation segment gross profit for 2010 was $215.1 million, an increase of $51.4 million, or 31.4%, as compared to 2009. The increase in aviation segment gross profit was due to $57.3 million in increased sales volume to both new and existing customers, which was partially offset by $5.9 million in decreased gross profit per gallon sold resulting primarily from our efforts to increase sales volume.

Our marine segment gross profit for 2010 was $165.3 million, a decrease of $3.5 million, or 2.1%, as compared to 2009. The decrease in marine segment gross profit was due to $30.2 million in decreased gross profit per metric ton sold primarily due to an increase in market competitiveness and fluctuations in customer mix, partially offset by $26.7 million in increased sales volume to new and existing customers.

Our land segment gross profit for 2010 was $61.7 million, an increase of $18.7 million, or 43.5%, as compared to 2009. The increase in land segment gross profit resulted primarily from additional sales volume attributable to the inclusion of the results of the businesses acquired in 2010 since their respective acquisition dates and a full years results in 2010 from the businesses acquired in 2009.

28

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for 2010 were $261.3 million, an increase of $39.7 million, or 17.9%, as compared to 2009. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in thousands):

	2010		2009		$ Change
Compensation and employee benefits	$	162,451	$	137,408	$	25,043
Provision for bad debt		4,262		4,552		(290	)
General and administrative		94,562		79,636		14,926
Total	$	261,275	$	221,596	$	39,679

Of the total increase in operating expenses, $25.0 million was related to compensation and employee benefits and $14.9 million was related to general and administrative expenses. Partially offsetting these increases was a reduction of $0.3 million in provision for bad debt. The increase in compensation and employee benefits was primarily due to the inclusion of acquired businesses, salaries related to new hires to support our growing global business and increased incentive compensation and share-based compensation. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the inclusion of acquired businesses, including the amortization of acquired intangible assets, increased professional fees related to systems development and acquisitions, as well as increases related to additional business travel, insurance and rent resulting from growth. The relatively flat provision for bad debt was due to the improved credit quality of our receivable portfolio which offset the effects of the increase in accounts receivable as a result of increased volume and higher world oil prices.

Income from Operations. Our income from operations for 2010 was $180.9 million, an increase of $26.9 million, or 17.4%, as compared to 2009. Income from operations during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

	2010		2009		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	118,351	$	75,462	$	42,889
Marine segment		84,656		97,636		(12,980	)
Land segment		15,948		10,778		5,170
		218,955		183,876		35,079
Corporate overhead - unallocated		38,089		29,881		8,208
Total	$	180,866	$	153,995	$	26,871

Our aviation segment income from operations was $118.4 million for 2010, an increase of $42.9 million, or 56.8%, as compared to 2009. This increase resulted from $51.4 million in higher gross profit which was partially offset by increased operating expenses of $8.5 million. The increase in aviation segment operating expenses was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, provision for bad debt and general and administrative expenses.

Our marine segment earned $84.7 million in income from operations for 2010, a decrease of $13.0 million, or 13.3%, as compared to 2009. This decrease resulted from increased operating expenses of $9.5 million and a $3.5 million decrease in gross profit. The increase in marine segment operating expenses was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits and general and administrative expenses which were partially offset by a lower provision for bad debt.

Our land segment income from operations was $15.9 million for 2010, an increase of $5.2 million, or 48.0%, as compared to 2009. This increase resulted primarily from income from operations attributable to the inclusion of the results of the businesses acquired in 2010 since their respective acquisition dates and a full years results in 2010 from the businesses acquired in 2009.

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments were $38.1 million for 2010, an increase of $8.2 million, or 27.5%, as compared to 2009. The increase in corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments

29

was attributable to increases in compensation and employee benefits, including incentive and share-based compensation, and general and administrative expenses.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. For 2010, we had non-operating expenses, net of $3.3 million, a decrease of $0.8 million, or 18.4%, as compared to 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the recording in 2010 of a $1.9 million gain related to our short-term investments and $0.9 million of equity income in the earnings of a joint venture which was partially offset by $2.2 million of increases in foreign exchange losses and interest expense and other financing costs, net, principally related to the new credit facility, during 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Taxes. For 2010, our effective tax rate was 17.5% and our income tax provision was $31.0 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 21.6% and an income tax provision of $32.3 million for 2009. The lower effective tax rate for 2010 resulted primarily from differences in the actual results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates as compared to 2009.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. Our net income for 2010 was $146.9 million, an increase of $29.8 million, or 25.4%, as compared to 2009. Diluted earnings per share for 2010 was $2.31 per share, an increase of $0.35 per share, or 17.9%, as compared to 2009.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between our net income and our non-GAAP net income for 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

	2010		2009
Net income	$	146,865	$	117,139
Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes		7,111		4,729
Intangible asset amortization expense, net of taxes		6,739		5,986
Non-GAAP net income	$	160,715	$	127,854

The following table sets forth the reconciliation between our diluted earnings per share and our non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2010 and 2009:

	2010		2009
Diluted earnings per share	$	2.31	$	1.96
Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes		0.11		0.07
Intangible asset amortization expense, net of taxes		0.11		0.10
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share	$	2.53	$	2.13

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets is useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period-over-period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

2009 compared to 2008

Revenue. Our revenue for 2009 was $11.3 billion, a decrease of $7.2 billion, or 39.0%, as compared to 2008. Our revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

	2009		2008		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	4,049,565	$	7,294,466	$	(3,244,901	)
Marine segment		6,040,643		9,915,291		(3,874,648	)
Land segment		1,204,969		1,299,646		(94,677	)
Total	$	11,295,177	$	18,509,403	$	(7,214,226	)

Our aviation segment contributed $4.0 billion in revenue for 2009, a decrease of $3.2 billion, or 44.5%, as compared to 2008. Of the total decrease in aviation segment revenue, $2.7 billion was due to a decrease in the average price per gallon sold as a result of lower world oil prices in 2009 compared to record prices in 2008. The remaining decrease of $501.1 million was due to decreased sales volume, reflecting the result of our efforts to change the business mix to yield higher margins and our continued efforts to achieve risk adjusted returns on invested capital, primarily in the first half of 2009.

Our marine segment contributed $6.0 billion in revenue for 2009, a decrease of $3.9 billion, or 39.1%, as compared to 2008. Of the total decrease in marine segment revenue, $2.4 billion was due to decreased sales volume primarily attributable to the deterioration in the overall volumes in the shipping industry compared to last year and our conscious effort to shed risk. The remaining decrease of $1.5 billion was due to a decrease in the average price per metric ton sold as a result of lower world oil prices in 2009.

Our land segment contributed $1.2 billion in revenue for 2009, a decrease of $94.7 million, or 7.3%, as compared to 2008. Of the total decrease in land segment revenue, $349.5 million was due to a decrease in the average price per gallon sold as a result of lower world oil prices in 2009. Offsetting this decrease was $254.8 million primarily due to increased sales volume attributable to incremental sales due to the inclusion of the results of the Texor business for all of 2009 and Henty and the TGS business since April 2009.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for 2009 was $375.6 million, a decrease of $19.8 million, or 5.0%, as compared to 2008. Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

	2009		2008		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	163,730	$	165,834	$	(2,104	)
Marine segment		168,890		203,345		(34,455	)
Land segment		42,971		26,204		16,767
Total	$	375,591	$	395,383	$	(19,792	)

Our aviation segment gross profit for 2009 was $163.7 million, a decrease of $2.1 million, or 1.3%, as compared to 2008. Of the decrease in aviation segment gross profit, $3.6 million was due to decreased sales volume which was partially offset by $1.5 million in higher gross profit per gallon sold, reflecting the result of our efforts to change the business mix to yield higher margins and our continued efforts to achieve risk adjusted returns on invested capital.

Our marine segment gross profit for 2009 was $168.9 million, a decrease of $34.5 million, or 16.9%, as compared to 2008. In 2008, we were presented with extraordinary market opportunities, primarily in the second and third quarters, due to near record fuel prices, volatility and general financing constraints in the global credit market resulting in record gross profit. Of the total decrease in marine segment gross profit, $49.6 million was due to decreased sales volume primarily attributable to the deterioration in the overall volumes in the shipping industry compared to last year, which was partially offset by $15.1 million in increased gross profit per metric ton sold due to

31

our continued efforts to achieve risk adjusted returns on invested capital which began in the latter part of the second quarter of 2008.

Our land segment gross profit for 2009 was $43.0 million, an increase of $16.8 million, or 64.0%, as compared to 2008. Of the increase in land segment gross profit, $13.5 million was primarily due to the inclusion of the results of the Texor business for all of 2009 and the acquisitions of Henty and the TGS business, which were both completed in April 2009. The remaining increase of $3.3 million relates to a higher gross profit per gallon sold.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for 2009 were $221.6 million, a decrease of $20.0 million, or 8.3%, as compared to 2008. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in thousands):

	2009		2008		$ Change
Compensation and employee benefits	$	137,408	$	140,280	$	(2,872	)
Provision for bad debt		4,552		16,081		(11,529	)
General and administrative		79,636		85,282		(5,646	)
Total	$	221,596	$	241,643	$	(20,047	)

Of the total decrease in operating expenses, $2.9 million was related to compensation and employee benefits, $11.5 million was related to provision for bad debt and $5.6 million was related to general and administrative expenses. The decrease in compensation and employee benefits was primarily due to a reduction in incentive based compensation offset by salaries for new hires to support our growing global business and salaries related to employees of acquired businesses. The lower provision for bad debt was primarily attributable to the substantially greater bad debt provision in 2008 which resulted from near record fuel prices and corresponding accounts receivable. Additionally, during 2009, we were successful in making favorable changes in the customer mix as a result of our efforts to reduce exposure to high risk counterparties in the 2009 receivable portfolio as compared to 2008. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due to our continuing efforts to control spending.

Income from Operations. Our income from operations for 2009 was $154.0 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 0.2%, as compared to 2008. Income from operations during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

	2009		2008		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	75,462	$	68,142	$	7,320
Marine segment		97,636		121,818		(24,182	)
Land segment		10,778		3,489		7,289
		183,876		193,449		(9,573	)
Corporate overhead - unallocated		29,881		39,709		9,828
Total	$	153,995	$	153,740	$	255

Our aviation segment income from operations was $75.5 million for 2009, an increase of $7.3 million, or 10.7%, as compared to 2008. This increase resulted from decreased operating expenses of $9.4 million which were partially offset by $2.1 million in lower gross profit. The decrease in aviation segment operating expenses was attributable to decreases in provision for bad debt and general and administrative expenses.

Our marine segment earned $97.6 million in income from operations for 2009, a decrease of $24.2 million, or 19.9%, as compared to 2008. This decrease resulted from $34.5 million in lower gross profit, which was partially offset by $10.3 million in decreased operating expenses. The decrease in marine segment operating expenses was attributable to decreases in compensation and employee benefits, general and administrative expenses and provision for bad debt.

Our land segment income from operations was $10.8 million for 2009, an increase of $7.3 million, as compared to 2008. The increase resulted from incremental income from operations due to full year results for the Texor business, and Henty and the TGS business acquired in April 2009.

32

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments were $29.9 million for 2009, a decrease of $9.8 million, or 24.7%, as compared to 2008. The decrease in corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments was attributable to decreases in compensation and employee benefits, primarily as a result of a larger amount of bonuses and stock compensation, including a special bonus award of $5.0 million, in 2008, which was partially offset by increases in general and administrative expenses.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. For 2009, we had non-operating expenses, net of $4.1 million, a decrease of $12.1 million, or 74.7%, as compared to 2008. This decrease was primarily due to foreign currency losses related to our subsidiaries in Brazil during 2008 which we did not experience in 2009 due to a change in functional currency and a reduction in foreign exchange losses and decreased interest expense related to lower outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, in 2009.

Taxes. For 2009, our effective tax rate was 21.6% and our income tax provision was $32.3 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 23.5% and an income tax provision of $32.4 million for 2008. The lower effective tax rate for 2009 resulted primarily from differences in the results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates as compared to 2008.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. Our net income for 2009 was $117.1 million, an increase of $12.1 million, or 11.5%, as compared to 2008. Diluted earnings per share for 2009 was $1.96 per share, an increase of $0.16 per share, or 8.9%, as compared to 2008.

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Share. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between our net income and our non-GAAP net income for 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

	2009		2008
Net income	$	117,139	$	105,039
Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes		4,729		11,065
Intangible asset amortization expense, net of taxes		5,986		3,997
Non-GAAP net income	$	127,854	$	120,101

The following table sets forth the reconciliation between our diluted earnings per share and our non-GAAP diluted earnings per share for 2009 and 2008:

	2009		2008
Diluted earnings per share	$	1.96	$	1.80
Share-based compensation expense, net of taxes		0.07		0.19
Intangible asset amortization expense, net of taxes		0.10		0.07
Non-GAAP diluted earnings per share	$	2.13	$	2.06

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets is useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period-over-period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for 2010, 2009 and 2008. For additional details, please see the consolidated statements of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements.

	2010			2009			2008
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(35,698	)	$	77,921		$	393,452
Net cash used in investing activities		(180,292	)		(61,828	)		(100,157	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		189,951			(34,436	)		(13,372	)

2010 compared to 2009

Operating Activities. For 2010, net cash used in operating activities totaled $35.7 million as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $77.9 million in 2009. The $113.6 million change in operating cash flows was primarily due to changes in net operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable, net, inventories and prepaid expenses, driven by increased sales volume and world oil prices as compared to 2009, which were partially offset by increased net income.

Investing Activities. For 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $180.3 million as compared to $61.8 million in 2009. The $118.5 million increase in cash used in investing activities in 2010 was primarily due to increased cash used in the acquisition of businesses and increased capital expenditures related to systems development in 2010 as compared to 2009, which was partially offset by the sale of short-term investments.

Financing Activities. For 2010, net cash provided by financing activities was $190.0 million as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $34.4 million in 2009. The $224.4 million change in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to proceeds from our public offering of common stock. In September 2010, we completed a public offering of 9.2 million shares of our common stock at a price of $25.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $218.8 million from the offering, after deducting $10.4 million in commissions paid to the underwriters and an estimated $0.8 million in other expenses incurred in connection with the offering.

2009 compared to 2008

Operating Activities. For 2009, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $78.0 million as compared to $393.5 million in 2008. The change in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to reduced cash flow provided from operating assets and liabilities as a result of a steep decline in oil prices in the latter part of 2008 as compared to relatively stable oil prices in 2009 and increased inventory positions in 2009.

Investing Activities. During 2009, net cash used in investing activities was $61.8 million as compared to $100.2 million in 2008. The decrease in cash used in investing activities in 2009 was due to a reduction in the amount paid for acquisitions.

Financing Activities. For 2009, net cash used in financing activities was $34.4 million as compared to $13.4 million in 2008. The increase in cash used in financing activities in 2009 was primarily due to repayments of debt consisting of bankers’ acceptances and promissory notes issued in connection with our acquisitions.

34

Other Liquidity Measures

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of December 31, 2010, we had $272.9 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $298.8 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009. Our primary uses of cash and cash equivalents are to fund accounts receivable, purchase inventory and make strategic investments, primarily acquisitions. We are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases; however, certain suppliers require us to either prepay or provide a letter of credit. Increases in oil prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash needed to fund fuel purchases as well as reducing the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis from our suppliers.

Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to $800.0 million with a sublimit of $300.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. We had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility at December 31, 2010 and 2009. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $72.0 million and $47.3 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The Credit Facility expires in September 2015.

Our liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Facility fluctuate based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers as well as commodity prices. Our Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, trigger cross-defaults under other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of December 31, 2010, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility.

Other Credit Lines. Additionally, we have other credit lines aggregating $84.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and bankers’ acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $44.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

Short-Term Debt. As of December 31, 2010, our short-term debt of $17.1 million represents the current maturities (within the next twelve months) of certain promissory notes related to acquisitions, loans payable to noncontrolling shareholders of a consolidated subsidiary and capital lease obligations.

We believe that available funds from existing cash and cash equivalents and our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, remain sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, to further enhance our liquidity profile, we may choose to raise additional funds which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity would be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the availability of trade credit or other forms of financing include our performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided from operating activities), the state of worldwide credit markets, and our levels of outstanding debt. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, financing may be limited or unavailable when needed or desired on terms that are favorable to us.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Our significant contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements are set forth below. For additional information on any of the following and other contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements, see Notes 7 and 10 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 15 of this Form 10-K.

Total	$	149,889	$	88,249	$	44,247	$	12,138	$	5,255

Debt and Interest Obligations. These obligations include principal and interest payments on fixed-rate and variable-rate, fixed-term debt based on the expected payment dates.

Unrecognized Tax Liabilities. As of December 31, 2010, our liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (“Unrecognized Tax Liabilities”) were $39.5 million. The timing of any settlement of our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities with the respective taxing authority cannot be reasonably estimated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees. In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit expire within one year from their issuance, and expired letters of credit are renewed as needed. As of December 31, 2010, we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $116.0 million under our Credit Facility and other unsecured credit lines. For additional information on our Credit Facility and credit lines, see the discussion thereof in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.

Surety Bonds. In the normal course of business, we are required to post bid, performance and garnishment bonds, primarily in our aviation and land segments. As of December 31, 2010, we had $27.8 million in outstanding bonds that were arranged in order to satisfy various security requirements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivatives

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations. There were no outstanding cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded an unrealized net loss of $0.8 million and an unrealized net gain of $2.9 million, respectively, related to the ineffectiveness between our derivative hedging instruments and hedged items on the respective dates.

Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps as well as fixed price purchase and sale contracts, which do not qualify for hedge accounting; to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs; and for proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded an unrealized net loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized net gain of $1.2 million, respectively, related to our non-designated derivative positions on the respective dates.

Interest Rate

Borrowings under our Credit Facility related to base rate loans or eurodollar rate loans bear floating interest rates plus applicable margins. As of December 31, 2010, we had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2010, the aggregate outstanding balance of our promissory notes issued in connection with our acquisitions was $34.6 million, of which $26.5 million of these promissory notes bear interest at an annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.0% and $8.1 million bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus a spread ranging from 1.0%-2.0%, with a provision for a minimum rate of 4.0% and a maximum rate of 6.0%. At December 31, 2010, the annual interest rate for these promissory notes was 4.0%. The remaining outstanding debt of $3.0 million as of December 31, 2010, primarily relates to loans payable to noncontrolling shareholders of a consolidated subsidiary, which bears interest at annual rates ranging from 3.5% to 7.0%.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2010.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of the unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management has assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 using the framework specified in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on such assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2010. Management has excluded Hiller, Gib Oil, Western and the Lakeside business (the “Excluded Companies”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 because the companies were acquired in purchase business combinations during 2010. The total assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, and total revenues of the Excluded Companies represent approximately 14.2% and 4.1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.

39

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered certified public accounting firm, as stated in their report appearing herein.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2010.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

of World Fuel Services Corporation:

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of World Fuel Services Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2010 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting appearing under item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

45

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Hiller, Gib Oil, Western and the Lakeside business (the “Excluded Companies”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010 because the companies were acquired in purchase business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2010. The total assets, including goodwill and intangible assets, and total revenues of the Excluded Companies represent approximately 14.2% and 4.1%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010.

WORLD FUEL SERVICES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Nature of Business, Acquisitions, Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Nature of Business

World Fuel Services Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida in July 1984 and along with its consolidated subsidiaries is referred to collectively as “World Fuel,” “we,” “our” and “us.” We commenced business as a recycler and reseller of used oil and provider of aviation services. We have since ceased the activities of a recycler and reseller of used oil. In 1986, we diversified our operations by entering the aviation fuel services business. In 1995, we entered the marine fuel and related services business by acquiring the Trans-Tec group of companies. In 2003, we started the land fuel and related services business.

We are a leading global fuel logistics company, principally engaged in the marketing, sale and distribution of aviation, marine and land fuel products and related services on a worldwide basis. We compete by providing our customers value-added benefits, including single-supplier convenience, competitive pricing, the availability of trade credit, price risk management, logistical support, fuel quality control and fuel procurement outsourcing. We have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine and land. We primarily contract with third parties for the delivery and storage of fuel products and in some cases own storage and transportation assets for strategic purposes. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related services to major commercial airlines, second and third-tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, flight based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments, and we also offer a private label charge card used to purchase aviation fuel and related services. In our marine segment, we offer fuel and related services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our land segment, we offer fuel and related services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial and government customers. Additionally, we also operate a small number of retail gas stations in the U.S.

Acquisitions

2010 Acquisitions

On January 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Falmouth Oil Services Limited (the “FOS business”). The FOS business is primarily a marine oil terminal for fuel oil and diesel strategically located in the United Kingdom, which we used for fuel storage prior to the acquisition. The financial position and results of operations of the FOS business have been included in our consolidated financial statements since its acquisition date.

On July 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Lakeside Oil Company, Inc., including the assets comprising its wholesale motor fuel distribution business (the “Lakeside business”). The Lakeside business, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is primarily a distributor of branded and unbranded gasoline and diesel fuel. The financial position and results of operations of the Lakeside business have been included in our consolidated financial statements since its acquisition date.

On October 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Western Petroleum Company, (“Western”), a distributor of unbranded gasoline and diesel fuel in the United States and Canada and branded and unbranded aviation fuel in the United States. The financial position and results of operations of Western have been included in our consolidated financial statements since its acquisition date.

On December 1, 2010, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Shell Company of Gibraltar, Limited, (“Gib Oil”), a distributor of aviation fuel, marine oil and gasoline and diesel fuel in Gibraltar.

54

The financial position and results of operations of Gib Oil have been included in our consolidated financial statements since its acquisition date.

On December 31, 2010, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of The Hiller Group Incorporated and Air Petro Corp. and all of the outstanding membership interest of HG Equipment, LLC and AHT Services, LLC (collectively, “Hiller”), a distributor of branded aviation fuel to fixed-base operators and corporate flight departments. The financial position and results of operations of Hiller have been included in our consolidated financial statements since its acquisition date.

The estimated aggregate purchase price for the acquisitions of the FOS business, the Lakeside business, Western, Gib Oil and Hiller (the “2010 Acquisitions”) was $238.2 million, and is subject to change based on the final value of the net assets acquired for the 2010 Acquisitions completed during the fourth quarter of 2010. The following reconciles the estimated aggregate purchase price for the 2010 Acquisitions to the cash paid for the acquisitions, net of cash acquired (in thousands):

Estimated purchase price	$	238,248
Less: Promissory notes issued		26,500
Less: Common stock issued		21,070
Less: Extinguishment of certain receivables from Falmouth Oil Services Limited		6,401
Estimated cash consideration		184,277
Plus: Amounts due from sellers, net		370
Cash consideration paid		184,647
Less: Cash acquired		6,840
Cash paid for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired	$	177,807

The fair value of the common stock issued as part of the consideration paid for our acquisitions was determined on the basis of the closing market price of the common shares on the acquisition date.

The estimated purchase price for each of the 2010 Acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value at the acquisition date. With the exception of the FOS business acquisition, at December 31, 2010, the valuations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the 2010 Acquisitions have not been completed; accordingly, the allocation of their purchase price may change. On an aggregate basis, the estimated purchase price allocation for the 2010 Acquisitions is as follows (in thousands):

Assets acquired:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	6,840
Accounts receivable		116,214
Inventories		25,576
Property and equipment		20,031
Identifiable intangible assets		54,733
Goodwill		133,244
Other current and long-term assets		9,252
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable		(86,637	)
Assumed pension fund exit fee (post employment benefits)		(11,306	)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities		(23,935	)
Other long-term liabilities		(5,764	)
Estimated purchase price	$	238,248

55

Post acquisition, the payment of the assumed pension fund exit fee has been classified as a financing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows due to the fact that the liability was paid on behalf of the seller subsequent to closing as the actuarially calculated amount was not available prior to the acquisition. The terms of the acquisition agreement called for the termination of participation in the applicable pension plan and a dollar for dollar decrease in the purchase consideration for amounts paid to exit from the plan.

In connection with the 2010 Acquisitions, we recorded goodwill of $15.2 million in our marine segment, $45.4 million in our aviation segment and $72.6 million in our land segment, of which $97.2 is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes. The aggregate identifiable intangible assets of the 2010 Acquisitions are as follows (in thousands):

			Weighted-average Lives
Customer relationships	$	44,238		4.3 years
Supplier agreements		7,359		11.5 years
Non-compete agreements		1,996		3.1 years
Trademark/trade name rights		860		Indefinite
Other		280		1.6 years
	$	54,733

With the exception of the FOS business, our 2010 Acquisition contributed revenue of $779.2 million and net income of $4.3 million for 2010. The revenue and net income contributed by our acquisition of the FOS business were not significant as there were no significant third-party customers of the FOS business and it has been integrated into our existing business.

The following presents the unaudited pro forma results for 2010 and 2009 as if our 2010 Acquisitions, with the exception of the FOS business, have been completed on January 1, 2009, respectively (in thousands, except per share data):

	2010		2009
	(pro forma)		(pro forma)
Revenue	$	20,944,328	$	13,530,444
Net income attributable to World Fuel	$	157,569	$	130,175
Earnings per share:
Basic	$	2.51	$	2.18
Diluted	$	2.46	$	2.15

FOS is not included in the pro forma information above as its impact on the pro forma amounts is not significant.

2009 Acquisitions

In April 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Henty Oil Limited, Tank and Marine Engineering Limited and Henty Shipping Services Limited (collectively, “Henty”) and completed the acquisition of certain assets of TGS Petroleum, Inc., including the assets comprising its wholesale motor fuel distribution business (the “TGS business”). Henty is a provider of marine and land based fuels in the United Kingdom and the TGS business, based in Chicago, Illinois, is primarily a distributor of branded and unbranded gasoline and diesel fuel. The financial position and results of operations of Henty and the TGS business have been included in our consolidated financial statements since April 1, 2009. The estimated aggregate purchase price of these two acquisitions was $61.3 million which consisted of $47.5 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $3.4 million, $4.2 million in promissory notes issued and $6.2 million in estimated contingent consideration (Earn-out). The estimated purchase price for each of the Henty and the TGS business acquisitions was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value: fixed assets of $5.6 million, identifiable intangible assets of $22.0 million, goodwill of $29.9 million, working capital of $9.2 million and long-term and deferred tax liabilities of $5.4 million.

The Henty purchase agreement includes an Earn-out based on Henty meeting certain operating targets over the three-year period ending April 30, 2012. Pursuant to an amendment to the purchase agreement in September 2010, the maximum Earn-out that may be paid was reduced from £9.0 million to £6.0 million ($9.4 million as of December 31, 2010) if all operating targets are achieved. In consideration for the reduction in the maximum Earn-out, a minimum Earn-out of £2.7 million ($4.2 million as of December 31, 2010) was established. As of the acquisition date, we estimated the fair value of the Earn-out to be £4.2 million ($6.2 million) which was recorded as a liability and as part of the purchase consideration. We estimate the fair value of the Earn-out at each reporting period based on our assessment of the probability of Henty achieving such operating targets over the three-year period. During 2010, we recorded a decrease in the estimated fair value of the Earn-out liability of £1.0 million ($1.5 million) with a corresponding credit to general and administrative operating expenses in the consolidated statement of income. As of December 31, 2010, the estimated fair value of the Earn-out liability is £3.2 million ($5.0 million). For 2010, Henty contributed revenue of $269.7 million and net income of $2.8 million.

56

The financial position and results of operations of Henty and the TGS business have been included in our consolidated financial statements since April 1, 2009.

2008 Acquisition

In June 2008, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Texor Petroleum Company, Inc., including the assets comprising its wholesale motor fuel distribution business and the Texor Petroleum trade name (the “Texor business”). In connection with the acquisition, we also acquired the rights to operate eight retail gasoline stations. The Texor business is primarily a distributor of branded and unbranded gasoline and diesel fuel to retail petroleum operators and industrial, commercial and government customers and operates a small number of retail gasoline stations. The financial position and results of operations of the Texor business have been included in our consolidated financial statements since June 1, 2008. The estimated purchase price of the acquired net assets was $117.6, including acquisition costs of $0.5 million, and consisted of $93.4 million in cash, net of cash acquired of $0.3 million, $9.9 million in shares of our common stock and $14.0 million in the form of a promissory note. The estimated purchase price of the acquisition of the Texor business was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value: fixed assets of $1.2 million, identifiable intangible assets of $38.3 million, goodwill of $66.0 million and working capital of $12.1 million.

Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts, transactions, and profits.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported

57

amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results could materially differ from estimated amounts. We evaluate our estimated assumptions based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents other than money market mutual funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short maturities of these instruments.

We measure our money market mutual funds, short-term investments and derivative contracts at their fair value in accordance with accounting guidance for fair value measurement. We believe the carrying value of our debt approximates fair value since these obligations bear interest at variable rates or fixed rates which are not significantly different than market rates.

The accounting guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available under the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the reliability of the inputs as follows:

1. Level 1 Inputs - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.

2. Level 2 Inputs - Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. We perform annual back-testing to validate that these inputs represent observable inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability.

3. Level 3 Inputs - Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary and is affected by a wide variety of factors. To the extent that valuation is based on inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value of a specific asset or liability may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that we feel market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value have been categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy. Our Level 1 items consist of exchange traded futures. Our Level 2 items consist of commodity swaps, commodity collars, non-designated derivatives in the form of physical forward purchase or sales commitments, hedged inventories and hedged physical forward purchase or sales commitments. Our Level 3 items consist of physical forward purchase or sales commitments, foreign currency forward contracts and the Earn-out liability. Realized and unrealized gains and losses of our physical forward purchase or sales commitments measured at fair value on a recurring basis that utilized Level 3 inputs are recognized as a component of either revenue or cost of revenue (based

58

on the underlying transaction type). Realized and unrealized gains and losses of our foreign currency forward contracts which were not treated as cash flow hedges, measured at fair value on a recurring basis that utilized Level 3 inputs are recognized as other expense/income. Realized and unrealized gains and losses of our short-term investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis that utilized Level 3 inputs are recognized as other expense/income.

Derivative instruments can have bid and ask prices that may be observed in the marketplace. Bid prices reflect the highest price that a market participant is willing to pay and ask prices reflect the lowest price that a market participant is willing to accept. Our policy is to consistently apply mid-market pricing for valuation of our derivative instruments.

Fair value of derivative instruments is derived using forward prices that take into account commodity prices, interest rates, credit risk ratings, option volatility and currency rates. In accordance with the guidance on fair value measurements and disclosures, the impact of our credit risk rating is also considered when measuring the fair value of liabilities. The fair value of derivative instruments may be based on a combination of valuation inputs that are on different hierarchy levels. The fair value disclosures are determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The nature of inputs that are considered Level 3 are modeled inputs. Factors that could warrant a Level 2 input to move to a Level 3 input may include lack of observable market data because of a decrease in market activity, a degradation of a short-term investment which requires us to value the investment based on a Level 3 input, or a change in significance of a Level 3 input to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

There were no significant changes to our valuation techniques during 2010 and 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

On a daily basis, cash in excess of current operating requirements is invested in various highly liquid securities typically having an original maturity date of less than 90 days. These securities are carried at cost, which approximates market value, and are classified as cash equivalents. Our cash equivalents consist principally of overnight investments, bank money market accounts, bank time deposits, money market mutual funds and investment grade commercial paper.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debt

Credit extension, monitoring and collection are performed for each of our business segments. Each segment has a credit committee that is responsible for approving credit limits above certain amounts, setting and maintaining credit standards, and managing the overall quality of the credit portfolio. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as determined by our review of our customer’s credit information. We extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers. Accounts receivable are deemed past due based on contractual terms agreed with our customers.

We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience with our customers, current market and industry conditions of our customers, and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified. Accounts receivable are reduced by an allowance for estimated credit losses.

Inventories

Inventories are valued using the average cost methodology and are stated at the lower of average cost or market. Components of inventory include fuel purchase costs, the related transportation costs, storage fees, and for inventories included in a fair value hedge relationship, changes in the estimated fair market values.

59

Derivatives

We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (“NPNS”), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.

Our derivatives that are subject to the accounting guidance for derivative instruments are recognized at their estimated fair market value in accordance with the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. If the derivative does not qualify as a hedge or is not designated as a hedge, changes in the estimated fair market value of the derivative are recognized as a component of revenue or cost of revenue (based on the underlying transaction type) in the consolidated statement of income. Derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting may be designated as either a fair value or cash flow hedge. For our fair value hedges, changes in the estimated fair market value of the hedge instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the same line item as a component of either revenue or cost of revenue (based on the underlying transaction type) in the consolidated statement of income. For our cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair market value of the hedge is recognized as a component of other comprehensive income in the shareholders’ equity section of the consolidated balance sheet and subsequently reclassified into the same line item as the forecasted transaction when both are settled, while the ineffective portion of the changes in the estimated fair market value of the hedge is recognized as a component of other non-operating expense/income in the consolidated statement of income. Cash flows for our hedging instruments used in our hedges are classified in the same category as the cash flow from the hedged items. If for any reason hedge accounting is discontinued, then any cash flows subsequent to the date of discontinuance shall be classified consistent with the nature of the instrument.

To qualify for hedge accounting, as either a fair value or cash flow hedge, the hedging relationship between the hedging instruments and hedged items must be highly effective over an extended period of time in achieving the offset of changes in fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk at the inception of the hedge. We use a regression analysis based on historical spot prices in assessing the qualification for our fair value hedges. However, our measurement of hedge ineffectiveness for our fair value inventory hedges utilizes spot prices for the hedged item (inventory) and forward or future prices for the hedge instrument. Therefore, the excluded component (forward or futures prices) in assessing hedge qualification, along with ineffectiveness, is included as a component of cost of revenue in earnings. Adjustments to the carrying amounts of hedged items is discontinued in instances where the related fair value hedging instrument becomes ineffective and any previously recorded fair market value changes are not adjusted until the fuel is sold.

For more information on our derivatives, see Note 4.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization are calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs of major additions and improvements are capitalized while expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the life of the asset, are expensed. Upon sale or disposition of property and equipment, the cost and related accumulated depreciation and amortization are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is credited

60

or charged to income. Long-lived assets held and used by us are reviewed based on market factors and operational considerations for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.

Purchases of computer software are capitalized. External costs and certain internal costs (including payroll and payroll-related costs of employees) directly associated with developing significant computer software applications for internal use are capitalized. Training and data conversion costs are expensed as incurred. Computer software costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the future earnings and cash flow potential of acquired businesses in excess of the fair values that are assigned to all other identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill arises because the purchase price paid reflects numerous factors, including the strategic fit and expected synergies these acquisitions bring to existing operations and the prevailing market value for comparable companies. Goodwill is not subject to periodic amortization; instead, it is reviewed annually at year-end (or more frequently under certain circumstances) for impairment. The initial step of the goodwill impairment test compares the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, which is the same as our reporting segments, with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of our reporting segments is estimated using discounted cash flows and market capitalization methodologies.

In connection with our acquisitions, we recorded identifiable intangible assets existing at the date of the acquisitions for customer relationships, supplier and non-compete agreements, technology acquired and trademark/trade name rights. Identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their estimated lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable based on market factors and operational considerations. Identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization are reviewed annually for impairment by comparing the estimated fair value of the intangible asset with its carrying value.

Extinguishment of Liability

In the normal course of business, we accrue liabilities for fuel and services received for which invoices have not yet been received. These liabilities are derecognized, or extinguished, if either 1) payment is made to relieve our obligation for the liability or 2) we are legally released from our obligation for the liability, such as when our legal obligations with respect to such liabilities lapse or otherwise no longer exist. During 2010, we derecognized vendor liability accruals due to the legal release of our obligations in the amount of $9.8 million, as compared to $8.6 million during 2009, which is reflected as a reduction of cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from the sale of fuel and related goods is recognized when the sales price is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and title passes to the customer, which is when the delivery of fuel is made to our customer directly from us, the supplier or a third-party subcontractor. Our fuel sales are generated as a fuel reseller as well as from on-hand inventory supply. When acting as a fuel reseller, we generally purchase fuel from the supplier, mark it up, and contemporaneously resell the fuel to the customer, normally taking delivery for purchased fuel at the same place and time as the delivery is made. We record the gross sale of the fuel as we generally take inventory risk, have latitude in establishing the sales price, have discretion in the supplier selection, maintain credit risk and are the primary obligor in the sales arrangement.

Revenue from fuel-related services is recognized when services are performed, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We record the gross sale of fuel-related services as we generally have latitude in establishing the sales price, have discretion in supplier selection, maintain credit risk and are the primary obligor in the sales arrangement.

61

Commission from fuel broker services is recognized when services are performed and collectability is reasonably assured. When acting as a fuel broker, we are paid a commission by the supplier.

Revenue from card processing services is recognized at the time the purchase is made by the customer using the charge card. Revenue from charge card transactions is generated from processing fees.

Vendor and Customer Rebates and Branding Allowances

From time to time, we receive vendor rebates and provide customer rebates. Generally, volume rebates are received from vendors under structured programs based on the level of fuel purchased or sold as specified in the applicable vendor agreements. These volume rebates are recognized as a reduction of cost of revenue in the period earned when realization is probable and estimatable and when certain other conditions are met. A portion of the rebates received from vendors is passed along to our customers. These rebates to our customers are recognized as a reduction of revenue in the period earned in accordance with the applicable customer agreements. The rebate terms of the customer agreements are generally similar to those of the vendor agreements. From time to time, in our land segment, we also receive branding allowances from fuel suppliers to defray the costs of branding and enhancing certain of our customer locations. The branding allowances received are recorded as a reduction of cost of revenue.

Some of these vendor rebate and promotional allowance arrangements require that we make assumptions and judgments regarding, for example, the likelihood of attaining specified levels of purchases or selling specified volume of products. We routinely review the relevant, significant factors and make adjustments when the facts and circumstances dictate that an adjustment is warranted.

The amounts recorded as a reduction of revenue related to volume rebates and promotional allowance arrangements paid to our customers were $2.3 million and $3.0 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively, and the amounts recorded as a reduction of cost of revenue related to volume rebates received from vendors were $5.8 million and $6.6 million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Share-Based Payment Awards

We account for share-based payment awards on a fair value basis. Under fair value accounting, the grant-date fair value of the share-based payment award is amortized as compensation expense, on a straight-line basis, over the vesting period for both graded and cliff vesting awards. Annual compensation expense for share-based payment awards is reduced by an expected forfeiture amount on outstanding share-based payment awards.

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights, which are referred to collectively as “Option Awards.” The estimation of the fair value of Option Awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, risk-free interest rates and expected dividends. The expected term of the Option Awards represents the estimated period of time from grant until exercise or conversion and is based on vesting schedules and expected post-vesting, exercise and employment termination behavior. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of our common stock over the period that is equivalent to the award’s expected life. Any adjustment to the historical volatility as an indicator of future volatility would be based on the impact to historical volatility of significant non-recurring events that would not be expected in the future. Risk-free interest rates are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the time of grant for the period that is equivalent to the award’s expected life. Dividend yields are based on the historical dividends of World Fuel over the period that is equivalent to the award’s expected life, as adjusted for stock splits.

The estimated fair value of common stock, restricted stock and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is based on the grant-date market value of our common stock, as defined in the respective plans under which the awards were granted.

62

Cash flows from tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for share-based payment awards (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows. These excess income tax benefits were credited to capital in excess of par value.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries, except for our two subsidiaries in Brazil and a subsidiary in the United Kingdom, which utilize the Brazilian Real and British Pound Sterling as their functional currencies, respectively, is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are recognized upon settlement of foreign currency transactions. In addition, for unsettled foreign currency transactions, foreign currency translation gains and losses are recognized for changes between the transaction exchange rates and month-end exchange rates. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in other, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income in the period incurred. We recorded net foreign currency transaction losses of $1.8 million, $0.6 million and $8.1 million in 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Revenues and expenses of the subsidiaries have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the period. Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet dates. The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. We recorded a net foreign currency translation adjustment gain of $1.0 million and $7.1million in 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the income tax provision in the period that includes the enactment date.

We must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered from our future taxable income, and to the extent we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance against those deferred tax assets. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items for which we have already taken a deduction in our tax return, but we have not yet recognized the items as expenses in our results of operations.

Significant judgment is required in evaluating our tax positions, and in determining our provisions for income taxes, our deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against our net deferred assets. We establish reserves when, despite our belief that the tax return positions are fully supportable, certain positions are likely to be challenged and we may ultimately not prevail in defending those positions.

U.S. income and foreign withholding taxes have not been recognized on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of taxes that might be payable, if distributed. Our intention is to reinvest these undistributed earnings permanently or to repatriate the undistributed earnings only when it is tax effective to do so.

Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to World Fuel and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested RSUs outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per

63

share is computed by dividing net income attributable to World Fuel and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested RSUs outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Potentially dilutive securities include Option Awards, restricted stock subject to forfeitable dividends and non-vested RSUs. The dilutive effect of potentially dilutive securities is reflected in diluted earnings per share by application of the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, an increase in the fair market value of our common stock can result in a greater dilutive effect from potentially dilutive securities.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

	2010		2009		2008

Diluted earnings per share	$	2.31	$	1.96	$	1.80

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) to clarify the acquisition date that should be used for reporting pro forma financial information when comparative financial statements are presented and also to expand the supplemental pro forma disclosures required. This ASU will be applied prospectively for the first annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2010. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts. In December 2010, the FASB issued an ASU which modifies the requirements of step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. This ASU will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2010. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. In July 2010, the FASB issued an ASU relating to improved disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. In December 2010, we adopted the portion of the guidance which pertains to disclosures as of the end of the reporting period. The adoption of this portion of the ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The disclosures for activity that occurs during a reporting period will be effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010.

64

Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. In July 2010, we adopted an ASU for embedded credit derivatives. This ASU clarifies that the type of embedded credit derivatives that are exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements relates only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. In July 2010, we adopted an ASU regarding revenue recognition relating to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This ASU requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures and will be applied prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted an ASU relating to additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional fair value disclosures (see Note 11) and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted an ASU regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted an ASU regarding the accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Short-Term Investments

At December 31, 2009, our short-term investments consisted of commercial paper valued at $8.1 million, with a par value of $10.0 million, as a result of a $1.9 million impairment charge recorded in September 2007. During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a gain of $1.9 million, which is reflected in other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2010 in the consolidated statements of income, due to the collection of the full par value of $10.0 million in July 2010.

3. Accounts Receivable

We had accounts receivable of $1.4 billion and $951.4 million, net of an allowance for bad debt of $20.2 million and $19.7 million, as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Accounts receivable are written-off when it becomes apparent based upon age or customer circumstances that such amounts will not be collected. The following table sets forth activities in our allowance for bad debt (in thousands):

	2010			2009			2008
Balance at beginning of period	$	19,690		$	23,271		$	12,644
Charges to provision for bad debt		4,262			4,552			16,081
Write-off of uncollectible accounts receivable		(4,291	)		(8,800	)		(5,866	)
Recoveries of bad debt		540			667			412
Balance at end of period	$	20,201		$	19,690		$	23,271

Included in accounts receivable, as of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, were net receivables due from Signature, a related party, of $21.2 million, $10.4 million and $7.1 million, respectively. For 2010, 2009 and 2008, sales to Signature amounted to $233.3 million, $107.7 million and $210.2 million, respectively. In addition sales to Signature, in the normal course of

65

business, we utilize Signature and Aircraft Service International Group (“ASIG”), a sister company of Signature, as subcontractors to provide various services to customers, including into-plane fueling at airports, and transportation and storage of fuel and fuel products. These activities with Signature and ASIG were not considered to be significant.

4. Derivatives

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations. There were no outstanding cash flow hedges as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded an unrealized net loss of $0.8 million and an unrealized net gain of $2.9 million, respectively, related to the ineffectiveness between our derivative hedging instruments and hedged items on the respective dates.

Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps as well as fixed price purchase and sale contracts, which do not qualify for hedge accounting; to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs; and for proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we recorded an unrealized net loss of $0.1 million and an unrealized net gain of $1.2 million, respectively, related to our non-designated derivative positions on the respective dates.

For additional information on our derivatives accounting policy, see Note 1.

There were no gains or losses for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 that were excluded from the assessment of the effectiveness of our fair value hedges.

The following table presents the effect and financial statement location of our derivative instruments in cash flow hedging relationships on our accumulated other comprehensive income and consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

Derivatives	Unrealized Gain  (Loss) Recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Effective Portion)						Location of Realized Gain (Loss) (Effective Portion)		Realized Gain (Loss) (Effective Portion)

In the event forecasted foreign currency cash outflows are less than the hedged amounts, a portion or all of the gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified to the consolidated statement of income. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we de-designated a cash flow hedge due to the hedged forecasted foreign currency cash outflows no longer being probable which resulted in a realized net gain of $0.7 million being reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of income. During the year ended December 31, 2009, there were no amounts reclassified to the consolidated statement of income.

During the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, there were no amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of income related to the ineffective portion of our cash flow hedges or amounts excluded from the assessment of our cash flow hedge effectiveness.

The following table presents the effect and financial statement location of our derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments on our consolidated statements of income (in thousands):

Derivatives	Location	Realized and Unrealized Gain (Loss)

Foreign exchange contracts	Other expense (income), net		2,536			1,583
		$	5,920		$	7,260

We enter into derivative instrument contracts which may require us to periodically post collateral. Certain of these derivative contracts contain clauses that are similar to credit-risk-related contingent features, including material adverse change, general adequate assurance and internal credit review clauses that may require additional collateral to be posted and/or settlement of the instruments in the event an aforementioned clause is triggered. The triggering events are not a quantifiable measure; rather they are based on good faith and reasonable determination by the counterparty that the triggers have occurred. The net liability position for such contracts, the collateral posted and the amount of assets required to be posted and/or to settle the positions should a contingent feature be triggered is not significant as of December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, computer software costs, including capitalized internally developed software costs, amounted to $31.5 million and $23.6 million, net of accumulated amortization of $16.2 million and $11.9 million, respectively. Included in capitalized computer software costs are costs incurred in connection with software development in progress of $12.5 million and $2.3 million as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. For 2010, 2009 and 2008, we recorded amortization expense related to computer software costs of $4.2 million, $4.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the accumulated amortization of assets recorded under capital leases was not significant.

6. Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Based on the results of comparing the estimated fair value of our reporting units, which are the same as our reporting segments, with their respective carrying amounts, the fair value of each of our reporting segments was substantially in excess of their carrying values; accordingly there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2010 and 2009.

7. Debt

We have an unsecured senior revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) which permits borrowings up to $800.0 million, with a sublimit of $300.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances. Under the Credit Facility we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility expires in September 2015.

Borrowings under our Credit Facility related to base rate loans or eurodollar rate loans bear floating interest rates plus applicable margins. As of December 31, 2010, the applicable margins for base rate loans and eurodollar rate loans were 1.5% and 2.5%, respectively. We had no outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility at either December 31, 2010 or December 31, 2009. Letters of credit issued under our Credit Facility are subject to letters of credit fees of 2.5% as of December 31, 2010 and the unused portion of our Credit Facility is subject to commitment fees of 0.4% as of December 31, 2010. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $72.0 million and $47.3 million at December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Our Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, trigger cross-defaults under other agreements to which we are party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Outside of our Credit Facility we have other credit lines aggregating $84.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees and bankers’ acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $44.0 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

Substantially all of the letters of credit and bank guarantees issued under our Credit Facility and the unsecured credit lines were provided to suppliers in the normal course of business and generally expire within one year of issuance. Expired letters of credit and bank guarantees are renewed as needed.

Our debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

8. Shareholders’ Equity

Dividends

We declared cash dividends of $0.15 per share for 2010 and 2009 and $0.075 per share for 2008. Our Credit Facility restricts the payment of cash dividends to a maximum of the sum of (i) $50 million plus (ii) 100% of the net proceeds of all equity issuances made after the closing of the Credit Facility. Beginning with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011, the payment of cash dividends will be restricted to a maximum of the sum of (i) $50 million plus (ii) 50% of the consolidated net income calculated quarterly for the previous four fiscal quarters plus (iii) 100% of the net proceeds of all equity issuances made after the closing of the Credit Facility. The payment of the above-referenced dividends were in compliance with the Credit Facility.

Issuance of Common Stock

In September 2010, we completed a public offering of 9.2 million shares of our common stock at a price of $25.00 per share. We received net proceeds of $218.8 million from the offering, after deducting $10.4 million in commissions paid to the underwriters and an estimated $0.8 million in other expenses incurred in connection with the offering.

Stock Repurchase Programs

Our Board of Directors, from time to time, has authorized stock repurchase programs under the terms of which we may repurchase our common stock, subject to certain restrictions contained in our Credit Facility. We did not repurchase any shares of common stock under any stock repurchase program in 2010, 2009 or 2008. As of December 31, 2010, we have $50.0 million available to repurchase shares under our share repurchase program.

73

Non-Employee Director Stock Deferral Plan

We adopted the 2003 Stock Deferral Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the “Stock Deferral Plan”) to provide for deferral of stock grants. Under the Stock Deferral Plan, each non-employee director could elect to have any annual stock grants paid in stock units, in lieu of stock, with each stock unit being equivalent to one share of our common stock and deferred as provided in the Stock Deferral Plan. As of each cash dividend payment date with respect to our common stock, each participant in the Stock Deferral Plan has credited to his or her account, as maintained by us, a number of stock units equal to the quotient obtained by dividing: (a) the product of (i) the cash dividend payable with respect to each share of common stock on such date and (ii) the total number of stock units credited to his or her account as of the close of business on the record date applicable to such dividend payment date by (b) the fair market value of one share of common stock on such dividend payment date. Upon the participant’s termination of service as our director for any reason, or upon a change of control, the participant will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of stock units credited to his account.

The estimated fair value of stock and stock units issued to non-employee directors under the Stock Deferral Plan is based on the market value of our common stock on the date of grant and recorded as non-employee director compensation expense. Outstanding stock units issued to non-employee directors under the Stock Deferral Plan are included as capital in excess of par value in shareholders’ equity. There were approximately 25,000 stock units outstanding as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. The aggregate carrying value of the outstanding stock units was $0.2 million at December 31, 2010 and 2009, which is included in capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Share-Based Payment Plans

Plan Summary and Description

In 2001, our shareholders approved the 2001 Omnibus Plan (the “2001 Plan”). As of December 31, 2010, there were only 177,000 Option Awards outstanding under the 2001 Plan. The 2001 Plan will continue to govern these outstanding awards until they expire or are exercised.

The 2001 Plan was replaced by the 2006 Omnibus Plan (the “2006 Plan”), which was approved by our shareholders in June 2006. The 2006 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The purpose of the 2006 Plan is to (i) attract and retain persons eligible to participate in the 2006 Plan; (ii) motivate participants, by means of appropriate incentives, to achieve long-range goals; (iii) provide incentive compensation opportunities that are competitive with those of other similar companies; and (iv) further align participants’ interests with those of World Fuel’s other shareholders through compensation that is based on the value of our common stock. The goal is to promote the long-term financial interest of World Fuel and its subsidiaries, including the growth in value of our equity and enhancement of long-term shareholder return. The persons eligible to receive awards under the 2006 Plan are our employees, officers, and members of the Board of Directors, or any consultant or other person who performs services for us.

The provisions of the 2006 Plan authorize the grant of stock options which can be “qualified” or “nonqualified” under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, RSUs, other share- based awards, performance shares and performance units. The 2006 Plan is unlimited in duration and, in the event of its termination, the 2006 Plan will remain in effect as long as any of the above awards are outstanding. No awards may be granted under the 2006 Plan after June 2016. The term and vesting period of awards granted under the 2006 Plan are established on a per grant basis, but options or stock appreciation rights may not remain exercisable after the seven-year anniversary of the date of grant.

Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, 4,900,000 shares of common stock are authorized for issuance. Additional shares of common stock that may be granted under the 2006 Plan include any shares that were available for future grant under any of our prior stock plans, and any stock or stock options granted under the 2006 Plan or any prior plans that expire or are forfeited or canceled. Furthermore, any shares purchased by us from employees to satisfy the Option Award

74

exercise prices and/or withholding taxes due upon vesting of restricted stock or RSUs or exercise of Option Awards are added to the maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2006 Plan.

The following table summarizes the outstanding awards issued pursuant to the plans described above as of December 31, 2010 and the remaining shares of common stock available for future issuance (in thousands):

Plan name	Option Awards		Restricted Stock		RSUs		Remaining shares of common stock available for future issuance
2006 Plan(1)		895		327		1,216		4,785
2001 Plan(2)		177		—		—		—
		1,072		327		1,216		4,785

(1) As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding Option Awards will expire between June 2011 and December 2015, unvested restricted stock will vest between March 2011 and March 2013 and unvested RSUs will vest between March 2011 and December 2015. RSUs granted to non-employee directors under the 2006 Plan will vest equally on a monthly basis over a one year period. Once vested, the RSUs will remain outstanding until the date that the non-employee director to whom they were granted ceases, for any reason, to be a member of the Board of Directors.

(2) As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding Option Awards will expire in March 2011.

As discussed in Note 1, we currently use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of Option Awards granted to employees and non-employee directors. The aggregate intrinsic value of Option Awards exercised during 2010, 2009 and 2008 was $13.2 million, $16.1 million and $7.1 million, respectively, based on the difference between the average of the high and low market price of our common stock at the exercise date and the Option Award exercise price.

The weighted average fair value of the Option Awards and the assumptions used to determine such fair value for each of the following years are as follows:

	2010			2009			2008
Weighted average fair value of Option Awards	$	10.97		$	9.33		$	4.05
Expected term (in years)		4.0			4.0			4.0

Included in the table above are 90 thousand RSUs held by our non-employee directors. Shares of our common stock will be issued to the non-employee director to satisfy these RSUs when he or she ceases, for any reason to be a member of our Board of Directors.

Common Stock Awards

As partial settlement of a special bonus award recorded in 2008 (see Note 10), we issued $4.5 million, or 162,338 shares, of our common stock in March 2009.

Unrecognized Compensation Cost

As of December 31, 2010, there was $12.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based payment awards, which is included as capital in excess of par value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The unrecognized compensation cost at December 31, 2010 is expected to be recognized as compensation expense over a weighted average period of 1.6 years as follows (in thousands):

Foreign		180,416			145,993		138,707
	$	177,530		$	149,909	$	137,575

The income tax provision (benefit) related to income before taxes consists of the following components (in thousands):

	2010			2009			2008
Current:
U.S. federal statutory tax rate	$	12,245		$	—		$	—
State		1,358			(242	)		4,004
Foreign		22,367			20,897			22,850

Deferred:
U.S. federal statutory tax rate		(3,776	)		5,126			(4,676	)
State		(1,926	)		625			(888	)
Foreign		(1,677	)		2,168			174
		(7,379	)		7,919			(5,390	)
Non-current tax expense		2,436			3,772			10,906
Total	$	31,027		$	32,346		$	32,370

The significant items included in non-current tax expense are tax expense resulting from allocating the tax benefit for stock based compensation to shareholder’s equity of $3.9 million for 2008 as well as tax expense associated with the reserve for uncertain tax positions of $2.4 million, $3.8 million and $5.0 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

A reconciliation of the U.S. federal statutory tax rate to our effective income tax rate is as follows:

	2010			2009			2008
U.S. federal statutory tax rate		35.0	%		35.0	%		35.0	%
Foreign earnings, net of foreign taxes		(18.6	)		(16.9	)		(15.4	)
State income taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit		0.1			—			1.1
Other permanent differences		1.0			3.5			2.8
Effective income tax rate		17.5	%		21.6	%		23.5	%

For 2010, our effective tax rate was 17.5%, for an income tax provision of $31.0 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 21.6% and $32.3 million for 2009. The lower effective tax rate for 2010 resulted primarily from fluctuations in the results achieved by our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates as compared to 2009.

For 2009, our effective tax rate was 21.6%, for an income tax provision of $32.3 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 23.5% and $32.4 million for 2008. The lower effective tax rate for 2009 resulted primarily from fluctuations in the results achieved by our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates.

U.S. income taxes have not been provided on undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, we had $574.4 million, $459.0 million and $374.8 million, respectively, of earnings attributable to foreign subsidiaries. Our intention is to reinvest these earnings permanently or to repatriate the earnings only when it is tax effective to do so. It is not practicable to determine the amount of U.S. income and foreign withholding tax payable in the event all such foreign earnings are repatriated.

The temporary differences which comprise our net deferred income tax assets are as follows (in thousands):

	As of December 31,
	2010			2009
Excess of provision for bad debts over charge-offs	$	4,400		$	4,721
Net operating loss		113			219
Income tax credits		—			257
Excess of tax over financial reporting for depreciation of fixed assets		(2,101	)		(2,285	)
Excess of tax over financial reporting amortization of identifiable intangible assets and goodwill		(12,729	)		(9,759	)
Accrued compensation expenses recognized for financial reporting purposes, not currently deductible for tax purposes		17,181			13,064
Accrued expenses		6,800			(46	)
Prepaid expenses deductible for tax purposes		(1,341	)		—
Other		(600	)		—
		11,723			6,171
Valuation allowance		—			(257	)
Total deferred income tax assets, net	$	11,723		$	5,914
Deferred income tax assets, current	$	13,492		$	11,260
Deferred income tax assets, non-current	$	5,135		$	2,798
Deferred income tax liabilities, current	$	1,068		$	3,970
Deferred income tax liabilities, non-current	$	5,836		$	4,174

In the accompanying balance sheets, the current deferred income tax assets are included in other current assets, the non-current income tax assets are included in non-current other assets, the current deferred income tax liabilities are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the non-current deferred income tax liabilities are included in non-current income tax liabilities. The income tax credit of $0.3 million at December 31, 2009 is comprised of foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carryforwards. As of the year ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a valuation allowance of $0.3 million to reduce the value of FTC carryforwards to the estimated realizable amount. The FTC carryforwards as of December 31, 2009 were used during the year ended December 31, 2010.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had foreign net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The foreign NOLs have an unlimited carryforward period.

In addition, as a result of certain realization requirements of accounting guidance on stock compensation, the table of deferred tax assets and liabilities shown above does not include certain deferred tax assets at December 31, 2010 and 2009 that arose directly from tax deductions related to equity compensation in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting. As of December 31, 2010, there were no FTC carryforwards. As of December 31, 2009, we had $7.9 million of FTC carryforwards related to the excess stock compensation deductions that resulted in a tax deduction or credit before the realization of the tax benefit from the deduction or credit. When realized in 2010, the FTCs resulted in a benefit

79

recorded in additional paid in capital (“APIC”) with a corresponding decrease in income tax payable. We use the “with and without” method for purposes of determining when excess tax benefits have been realized.

As of December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, our APIC pool of windfall tax benefits related to employee compensation was estimated to be $10.4 million, $3.1 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

We operate under a special tax concession in Singapore which is effective through 2012 and is conditional upon our meeting certain employment and investment thresholds during the effective period. If the employment and investment thresholds are not met in accordance with our agreement, the tax concession may be eliminated retroactively to the beginning of 2008. This special tax concession may be extended beyond 2012 if certain additional requirements are satisfied. The tax concession reduces the tax rate on qualified sales and the impact of this tax concession decreased foreign taxes by $7.8 million, $6.5 million and $7.1 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The impact of the tax concession on diluted earnings per share was $0.12 per share, $0.11 per share and $0.12 per share for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Tax Contingencies

We recorded an increase of $1.8 million of additional liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits (“Unrecognized Tax Liabilities”) and a decrease of $0.8 million of assets related to unrecognized tax benefits (“Unrecognized Tax Assets”) during 2010. In addition, during 2010, we recorded an increase of $0.2 million to our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities related to a foreign currency translation expense, which is included in other expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2010, our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities were $39.5 million and our Unrecognized Tax Assets were $7.2 million.

We recorded an increase of $6.7 million of additional liabilities for Unrecognized Tax Liabilities and an increase of $2.9 million of assets related to Unrecognized Tax Assets during 2009. In addition, during 2009, we recorded an increase of $0.5 million to our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities related to a foreign currency translation expense, which is included in other expense, net, in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. As of December 31, 2009, our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities were $37.7 million and our Unrecognized Tax Assets were $8.0 million.

The following is a tabular reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits for the year:

	2010			2009			2008
Unrecognized tax benefit - opening balance	$	27,158		$	21,624		$	17,886
Gross decreases - tax positions in prior period		—			(275	)		(30	)
Gross increases - tax positions in current period		4,095			6,596			4,476
Gross decreases - tax positions in current period		(1,629	)		—			(62	)
Gross increases - acquired entities		—			—			—
Settlements		—			—			—
Lapse of statute of limitations		(3,331	)		(787	)		(646	)
Unrecognized tax benefit - ending balance	$	26,293		$	27,158		$	21,624

If our uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2010 are sustained by the taxing authorities in our favor, our income tax expense would be reduced by $19.9 million in the period the matter is considered settled in accordance with FIN 48. As of December 31, 2010, it does not appear that the total amount of our unrecognized tax benefits will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months.

We record accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. Related to the uncertain tax benefits noted above, we recorded $1.4 million, $0.8 million and $0.7 million for interest and $1.2 million, $0.8 million and $0.3 million for penalties, during 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively. As of December 31,

80

2010 and 2009, we had recognized liabilities of $6.8 million and $5.3 million for interest and $6.4 million and $5.2 million for penalties, respectively.

In many cases, our uncertain tax positions are related to tax years that remain subject to examination by the relevant tax authorities. The following table summarizes these open tax years by jurisdiction with major uncertain tax positions:

	Open Tax Year
Jurisdiction	Examination in progress	Examination not yet initiated
United States	None	2004, 2007-2010
Singapore	None	2007-2010
United Kingdom	None	2004-2010
Brazil	None	2006-2010

10. Commitments and Contingencies

Surety Bonds

In the normal course of business, we are required to post bid, performance and garnishment bonds. The majority of the surety bonds posted relate to our aviation and land segment. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had outstanding bonds that were arranged in order to satisfy various security requirements of $27.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Most of these bonds provide financial security for obligations which have already been recorded as liabilities.

Lease Commitments

As of December 31, 2010, our future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases were as follows (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,
2011	$	8,549
2012		6,781
2013		5,272
2014		4,227
2015		2,958
Thereafter		4,669
	$	32,456

We incurred rental expense for all properties and equipment of $10.0 million, $9.1 million and $8.8 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Sales and Purchase Commitments

As of December 31, 2010, fixed sales and purchase commitments under our derivative programs amounted to $42.3 million and $45.0 million, respectively.

Additionally, as of December 31, 2010, we had entered into certain other fixed price purchase commitments with corresponding fixed price sales commitments, the majority of which were satisfied within a two-week period. These purchase and sales commitments were made in the normal course of business.

81

Vendor and Customer Rebate and Branding Allowances

We receive rebates and branding allowances from a number of our fuel suppliers. Typically, a portion of the rebates and allowances is passed on to our customers under the same terms as required by our fuel suppliers. Many of the agreements require repayment of all or a portion of the amount received if we (or our customers, typically branded dealers in our land segment) elect to discontinue selling the specified brand of fuel at certain locations. As of December 31, 2010, the estimated amount of fuel rebates and branding allowances that would have to be repaid upon de-branding at these locations was $26.9 million. Of this amount, $25.8 million would be due to us from the branded dealers under similar agreements between us and such dealers. No liability is recorded for the amount of obligations which would become payable upon debranding.

Agreements with Executive Officers and Key Employees

In March 2008, we entered into new agreements with both our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and President and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) containing identical terms, which, among other things, provide for such base salary, incentives and other compensation and amounts as our Compensation Committee may determine from time to time in its sole discretion and certain termination severance benefits. The CEO and COO agreements expire four years from the execution date, unless terminated earlier, and will automatically extend for successive one-year terms unless either party provides written notice to the other at least one year prior to the expiration of the term that such party does not want to extend the term.

Pursuant to their agreements, our CEO and COO are entitled to receive a cash severance payment if: (a) we terminate the executive’s employment without cause following a change of control or for any reason other than death, disability or cause; (b) the executive resigns for good reason (generally a reduction in his responsibilities or compensation, or a breach by us), or resigns following a change of control; or (c) either the executive elects or we elect not to extend the term of the agreement. The severance payment is equal to $5.0 million for a termination following a change of control and $3.0 million in the other scenarios described above, a portion of which will be payable two years after the termination of the executive’s employment. Upon any such termination, we will continue to provide coverage to the executive under our group insurance plans until he is no longer eligible for coverage under COBRA. Thereafter, we will reimburse the executive for the cost of obtaining private health insurance coverage for a certain period of time.

All of the executive’s outstanding Option Awards, restricted stock and RSU awards will immediately vest in each scenario described in (a), (b) and (c) above except for awards assumed or substituted by a successor company in the event of a change of control and awards with multiple annual performance conditions. Any awards assumed or substituted will vest over a two-year period following termination of the executive’s employment while awards with multiple annual performance conditions must satisfy certain other requirements in order to have their vesting terms accelerated.

The agreements also provide that in the event that any amount or benefit payable under the agreements, taken together with any amounts or benefits otherwise payable to the executive by us or any affiliated company, are subject to excise tax payments or parachute payments under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, such amounts or benefits will be reduced but only if and to the extent that the after-tax present value of such amounts or benefits as so reduced would exceed the after-tax present value received by the executive before such reduction.

We have also entered into employment agreements or separation agreements with certain of our other executive officers and key employees. These agreements provide for minimum salary levels, and, in most cases, bonuses which are payable if specified performance goals are attained. Some executive officers and key employees are also entitled to severance benefits upon termination or non-renewal of their contracts under certain circumstances.

82

As of December 31, 2010, the approximate future minimum commitments under these agreements, excluding discretionary and performance bonuses, are as follows (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,
2011	$	6,674
2012		5,425
2013		4,715
	$	16,814

Named Executive Officer Annual Incentive Awards and Special Bonus Awards

Our CEO, COO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Risk and Administrative Officer (“CRAO”) and Aviation Segment President (“Aviation President”), referred to collectively in this Form 10-K as Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”), are eligible to receive annual cash incentive awards (the “cash awards”) and annual share-based incentive awards (the “share-based awards”), which are specified as dollar amounts, upon the achievement of certain annual performance targets. The performance targets for the CEO, COO, CFO and CRAO were generally based on the growth of our net income while the performance targets for the Aviation President were generally based on achieving certain levels of aviation net operating income.

Earned cash awards are generally paid in the year immediately following the performance year, and we would record the earned cash awards as compensation expense during the performance year. Earned share-based awards will be converted to the appropriate number of equity shares (in the form of RSUs and/or SSARs) at the prevailing fair value amount on the grant date, which will occur in the year following the performance year. The equity shares will be granted under our 2006 Plan and will vest between 3-5 years. For accounting purposes, the share-based awards are accounted for as liability awards during the performance year until granted, when the share-based payment awards will be accounted for as equity awards. We would record compensation expense for the share-based awards proportionately at the start of the performance period until the end of the equity grant’s service vesting period, and we would record a corresponding liability amount until the equity shares are granted. When the equity shares are granted, we will reclassify the outstanding liability amount to capital in excess of par value and record the amortization of the equity shares to capital in excess of par value.

Based on the achievement of certain 2010 performance targets, in the aggregate, our NEOs earned $7.3 million of cash awards and $5.9 million of share-based awards. During 2010, in the aggregate, we recorded compensation expense of $8.7 million for these awards and the remaining compensation expense will be recorded in future periods corresponding with the awards’ vesting terms. For 2009, based on the achievement of certain performance targets, in the aggregate, our NEOs earned $2.8 million of cash awards. In 2009, the only NEO who earned a share-based award was our Aviation President, who earned $622 thousand. During 2009, in the aggregate, we recorded compensation expense of $2.9 million for these awards. For 2008, based on the achievement of the maximum performance targets, our CEO, COO, CFO and CRAO, in the aggregate, earned maximum annual cash incentive awards of $3.5 million while our Aviation President earned $0.6 million, including a discretionary bonus award of $0.2 million. In addition, as a result of our strong financial performance in 2008, the Compensation Committee made special bonus awards to our CEO, COO, CFO and CRAO aggregating $5.0 million, of which $4.5 million was settled in our common stock and $0.5 million in cash. In the aggregate, the total amount of cash and special bonus awards earned by the NEOs was $9.1 million for 2008. In 2008, our Aviation President was the only NEO eligible for the annual share-based incentive awards. In addition, our Aviation President earned $167 thousand of shared-based awards. During 2008, in the aggregate, we recorded compensation expense of $9.1 million for these awards.

83

Deferred Compensation Plans

We maintain long-term service programs under which certain key employees receive cash awards for long-term service. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, our liabilities under these programs were $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, deferred sales bonus of $0.9 million and $2.1 million, respectively, was accrued in deferred compensation and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.

We maintain a 401(k) defined contribution plan which covers all U.S. employees who meet minimum requirements and elect to participate. Participants may contribute up to 60% of their compensation, subject to certain limitations. During 2010, 2009 and 2008, we made matching contributions of 50% for each 1% of the participants’ contributions up to 6% of the participants’ contributions. Annual contributions by us are made at our sole discretion, as approved by the Compensation Committee. We recorded expenses for our contributions of $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Certain of our foreign subsidiaries have defined contribution plans, which allow for voluntary contributions by the employees. The foreign subsidiaries paid all general and administrative expenses of the plans and in some cases made employer contributions on behalf of the employees. We recorded expenses for our contributions of $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $0.8 million for 2010, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Environmental and Other Liabilities; Uninsured Risks

We utilize subcontractors to provide various services to customers, including into-plane fueling at airports, fueling of vessels in-port and at-sea, and transportation and storage of fuel and fuel products. We are subject to possible claims by customers, regulators and others who may be injured by a fuel spill or other accident. In addition, we may be held liable for damages to the environment arising out of such events. Although we generally require our subcontractors to carry liability insurance, not all subcontractors carry adequate insurance. Our marine and land businesses do not have liability insurance to cover the acts or omissions of our subcontractors. None of our liability insurance covers acts of war and terrorism. If we are held responsible for any acts of war or terrorism, accident or other event, and the liability is not adequately covered by insurance and is of sufficient magnitude, our financial position and results of operations will be adversely affected.

We have exited several businesses which handled hazardous and non-hazardous waste. We treated and/or transported this waste to various disposal facilities. We may be held liable as a potentially responsible party for the clean-up of such disposal facilities or be required to clean up facilities previously operated by us, pursuant to current U.S. federal and state laws and regulation. In addition, compliance with existing and future environmental laws regulating underground storage tanks located at the retail gasoline stations that we operate may require significant capital expenditures and increased operating and maintenance costs. The remediation costs and other costs required to clean up or treat contaminated sites could be substantial. We pay tank registration fees and other taxes to state trust funds established in our operating areas and maintain private insurance coverage in support of future remediation obligations. These state trust funds or other responsible third parties including insurers are expected to pay or reimburse us for remediation expenses less a deductible. To the extent third parties do not pay for remediation as we anticipate, we will be obligated to make these payments. These payments could materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Reimbursements from state trust funds will be dependent on the maintenance and continued solvency of the various funds.

Although we continuously review the adequacy of our insurance coverage, we may lack adequate coverage for various risks, such as environmental claims. An uninsured or under-insured claim arising out of our activities, if successful and of sufficient magnitude, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations.

Legal Matters

Miami Airport Litigation

In April 2001, Miami-Dade County, Florida (“the County”) filed suit (the “County Suit”) in the state circuit court in and for Miami-Dade County against 17 defendants to seek reimbursement for the cost of remediating environmental contamination at Miami International Airport (the “Airport”).

Also in April 2001, the County sent a letter to approximately 250 potentially responsible parties (“PRPs”), including World Fuel Services Corporation and one of our subsidiaries, advising of our potential liability for the clean-up costs of the contamination that is the subject of the County Suit. The County has threatened to add the PRPs as defendants in the County Suit, unless they agree to share in the cost of the environmental clean-up at the Airport. We have advised the County that: (i) neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were responsible for any environmental contamination at the Airport and (ii) to the extent that we or any of our subsidiaries were so responsible, our liability was subject to indemnification by the County pursuant to the indemnity provisions contained in our lease agreement with the County.

If we are added as a defendant in the County Suit, we will vigorously defend any claims, and we believe our liability in these matters (if any) should be adequately covered by the indemnification obligations of the County.

Brendan Airways Litigation

One of our subsidiaries, World Fuel Services, Inc. (“WFSI”) is involved in a dispute with Brendan Airways, LLC (“Brendan”), an aviation fuel customer, with respect to certain amounts Brendan claims to have been overcharged in connection with fuel sale transactions from 2003 to 2006. In August 2007, WFSI filed an action in the state circuit court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida seeking declaratory relief with respect to the matters disputed by Brendan. In October 2007, Brendan filed a counterclaim against WFSI. In February 2008, the court dismissed WFSI’s declaratory action. Brendan’s counterclaim remains pending as a separate lawsuit against WFSI, and Brendan is seeking $4.5 million in damages, plus interest and attorney’s fees, in its pending action. We believe Brendan’s claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend all of Brendan’s claims.

As of December 31, 2010, we had recorded certain reserves related to the proceedings described above which were not significant. Because the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we may not prevail in these proceedings and we cannot estimate our ultimate exposure in such proceedings if we do not prevail. Accordingly, a ruling against us in any of the above proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Other Matters

In addition to the matters described above, we are involved in litigation and administrative proceedings primarily arising in the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, except as set forth above, our liability, if any, under any other pending litigation or administrative proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair value of commodity contracts and hedged item commitments is derived using forward prices that take into account commodity prices, basis differentials, interest rates, credit risk ratings, option volatility and currency rates. Fair value of hedged item inventories is derived using spot commodity prices and basis differentials. Fair value of foreign currency forwards is derived using forward prices that take into account interest rates, credit risk ratings, and currency rates.

For our derivatives related contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset a counterparty’s rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net fair value cash collateral paid or received against fair value amounts recognized for net derivative related positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.

There were no amounts recognized for the obligation to return cash collateral that have been offset against fair value assets included within netting and collateral in the above table as of December 31, 2010 and 2009. There were no amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral that have been offset against fair value liabilities included within netting and collateral in the above table as of December 31, 2010. The amount recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral that has been offset against fair value liabilities included within netting and collateral in the table above was $3.2 million as of December 31, 2009.

The following table presents information about our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis that utilized Level 3 inputs for the periods presented (in thousands):

Our policy is to recognize transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the event or change in circumstances caused the transfer to occur. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented. In addition, there were no Level 3 purchases, sales or issuances for the periods presented.

12. Business Segments, Geographic Information, and Major Customers

Business Segments

Based on the nature of operations and quantitative thresholds pursuant to the accounting guidance on segment reporting, we have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. Please refer to Note 1 for the dates that the results of operations and related assets and liabilities of our acquisitions have been included in our operating segments. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1).
