Wright Express Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2008 Financial Results
Fourth Quarter Cash Flow Fuels $42 Million Debt Pay-down and
$7.6 Million in Stock Repurchases;
278,000 GSA Vehicles Implemented in December
SOUTH PORTLAND, Maine, February 11, 2009 - Wright Express Corporation (NYSE: WXS), a leading provider of payment processing and information management services to the U.S. commercial and government fleet industry, today reported financial results for the three and 12 months ended December 31, 2008.
Total revenue for the fourth quarter of 2008 decreased 11% to $80.9 million from $90.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2007. Net income to common shareholders on a GAAP basis was $65.2 million, or $1.66 per diluted share, compared with $4.6 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter a year earlier. On a non-GAAP basis, the Company’s adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 was $12.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared with $19.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the year-earlier period. In addition to previously excluded items, adjusted net income for the fourth quarter of 2008 excludes a non-cash asset impairment charge of $1.5 million related to product development costs.
Wright Express uses fuel-price derivative instruments to mitigate financial risks associated with the variability in fuel prices. For the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company’s GAAP financial results include an unrealized $86.2 million pre-tax, non-cash, mark-to-market gain on these instruments. For the fourth quarter of 2007, the Company reported an unrealized pre-tax, non-cash, mark-to-market loss of $22.8 million.
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $393.6 million compared to $336.1 million in 2007. Net income for 2008 on a GAAP basis was $127.6 million, or $3.22 per diluted share, compared with $51.6 million, or $1.27 per diluted share, for full-year 2007. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted net income for full-year 2008 was $74.1 million, compared with $76.0 million a year earlier.
Exhibit 1 reconciles adjusted net income which has not been determined in accordance with GAAP, to net income as determined in accordance with GAAP, for the three- and 12-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
Management uses the non-GAAP measures presented within this news release to evaluate the Company’s performance on a comparable basis, to eliminate the volatility associated with its derivative instruments and to measure the amount of cash that is available for making payments on the Company’s financing debt and for discretionary purposes. Management believes that investors may find these measures useful for the same purposes, but cautions that they should not be considered a substitute for disclosure in accordance with GAAP.

 


 

Fourth-Quarter 2008 Performance Metrics
    Average number of vehicles serviced was approximately 4.6 million, compared with approximately 4.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
    Total fuel transactions processed increased 6% from the fourth quarter of 2007 to 66.9 million. Payment processing transactions decreased 4% to 51.5 million, and transaction processing transactions increased 58% to 15.3 million.
 
    Average expenditure per payment processing transaction decreased 16% from the fourth quarter of 2007 to $52.69.
 
    Average retail fuel price declined 15% to $2.59 per gallon from $3.06 per gallon in the fourth quarter of 2007.
 
    Total MasterCard purchase volume grew 21% to $586 million, from $484 million for the fourth quarter of 2007.
To provide investors with additional insight into its operational performance, Wright Express has included in this news release a table of selected non-financial metrics for the five quarters ended December 31, 2008. This table is presented as Exhibit 2.
Management Comments on the Fourth Quarter
“Wright Express executed well in a very tough economic environment this quarter,” said Michael Dubyak, Chairman and CEO. “Our new GSA Fleet portfolio added approximately 278,000 vehicles to our installed base and attrition remained low, while our diversification efforts, including MasterCard, Pacific Pride and TelaPoint together made a significant contribution to our results.”
“The Company generated strong cash flow and maintained excellent liquidity in the fourth quarter and through 2008,” Dubyak said. “After paying down $42 million in financing debt and repurchasing $7.6 million in common stock during the quarter, we begin 2009 with an exceptionally strong balance sheet.”
“Our goal is to build on these strengths and maximize the results we produce even in difficult market conditions,” said Dubyak. “We expect further success in adding new vehicles and controlling attrition, and the diversification strategy we embarked on two years ago should continue to drive expanding streams of revenue. We will continue to invest in our growth strategies and in our people, and I am confident that Wright Express will be positioned for industry-leading growth when the economy begins to recover.”
Financial Guidance
Wright Express Corporation is issuing financial guidance for the first quarter and full year 2009. This guidance assumes continued deterioration in the economy and, therefore, further declines in fuel purchasing volume through the year, with volume in the Company’s installed base declining by approximately 10% to 15% from 2008. The guidance below also assumes a significant year-over-year decline in average fuel prices,

partially countered by the Company’s fuel-price derivative instruments. The guidance below further assumes that credit loss for full-year 2009 will range from 45 to 55 basis points. The guidance below does not reflect the impact of any stock repurchases that may occur in 2009. In addition, the Company’s guidance excludes the impact of non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on the Company’s fuel-price-related derivative instruments, the amortization of purchased intangibles, and adjustments related to the deferred tax asset and tax-receivable agreement with the Company’s former parent company. The fuel prices referenced below are based on the applicable NYMEX futures price:
    For the first quarter of 2009, revenue in the range of $61 million to $68 million. This is based on an assumed average retail fuel price of $1.98 per gallon.
 
    First-quarter 2009 adjusted net income in the range of $10 million to $12 million, or $0.25 to $0.31 per diluted share, based on approximately 39 million shares outstanding.
 
    For the full year 2009, the Company expects revenue in the range of $270 million to $285 million. This is based on an assumed average retail fuel price of $1.97 per gallon.
 
    For the full year 2009, the Company expects adjusted net income in the range of $51 million to $59 million, or $1.30 to $1.50 per diluted share, based on approximately 39 million shares outstanding.

Although adjusted net income is not calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this measure is integral to the Company’s reporting and planning processes. The Company considers this measure integral because it eliminates the non-cash volatility associated with the derivative instruments, excludes the amortization of purchased intangibles and in the fourth quarter of 2008 excludes a non-cash asset impairment charge. Specifically, in addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a GAAP basis, management evaluates the Company’s performance on a basis that excludes the above items because:
    Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments helps management identify and assess trends in the Company’s underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with fuel-price derivative contracts;
 
    The non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on derivative instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future quarters difficult to evaluate; and
 
    The amortization of purchased intangibles and asset impairment have no impact on the operations of the business.
For the same reasons, Wright Express believes that adjusted net income may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating the Company’s performance. However, because adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, net income, operating income or cash flows from operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted net income as used by Wright Express may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
