WEX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the accounts of WEX Inc. and its subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10–Q and Rule 10–01 of Regulation S–X. Accordingly, they exclude certain disclosures required by GAAP for a complete set of financial statements. Unless the context suggests otherwise, references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “WEX,” the “Company,” “we” or “our” refer to WEX Inc. and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with GAAP have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results for any future periods or the year ending December 31, 2025. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2025 (“2024 Annual Report”).
We have applied the same accounting policies in preparing these quarterly financial statements as we did in preparing our 2024 annual financial statements. The Company rounds amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements to millions and calculates all percentages and per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding. We have included certain terms and abbreviations used throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q within “Acronyms and Abbreviations” in the front of this document.

In accordance with Topic 606, revenue is recognized when, or as, performance obligations are satisfied as defined by the terms of the contract, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services provided. Income recognized that is not derived from a contract with a customer within the scope of Topic 606 is included within Non-Topic 606 revenues.
The following tables disaggregate the Company’s consolidated revenues, substantially all of which relate to services transferred to the customer over time:

Contract Balances
The majority of the Company’s receivables, which are excluded from the table below, are either due from cardholders who have not been deemed our customer as it relates to interchange income, or from revenues earned outside of the scope of Topic 606. The Company’s contract assets consist of upfront payments to customers under long-term contracts and are recorded upon the later of when the Company recognizes revenue for the transfer of the related goods or services or when the Company pays or promises to pay the consideration. The resulting asset is amortized against revenue as the Company satisfies its performance obligations under these arrangements. The Company’s contract liabilities consist of customer payments received before the Company has satisfied the associated performance obligations. The following table provides information about these contract balances:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(in millions) | | | | | | |
Contract balance | | Location on the condensed consolidated balance sheets | | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |

| | | | | | |
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized revenue of $8.9 million related to contract liabilities existing as of December 31, 2024.
Remaining Performance Obligations
The Company’s unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2025 represent the remaining minimum monthly fees on a portion of contracts across the lines of business, deferred revenue associated with stand ready payment processing obligations and contractually obligated professional services yet to be provided by the Company. The total remaining performance obligations below are not indicative of the Company’s future revenue, as they relate to an insignificant portion of the Company’s operations.
The following table includes revenue expected to be recognized related to remaining performance obligations at the end of the indicated reporting period.

(1)The transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligations represents the minimum monthly fees on certain service contracts, which contain substantive termination penalties that require the counterparty to pay the Company for the aggregate remaining minimum monthly fees upon an early termination for convenience. These obligations will be recognized within account servicing revenue.
(2)Substantially represents deferred revenue and contractual minimums associated with payment processing service obligations. Consideration associated with certain relationships is variable and the measurement and estimation of contract consideration is contingent upon payment processing volumes and maintaining volume shares, among others.
Asset Acquisition
During January 2025, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement for the purchase of a portfolio of factoring accounts receivable from a third-party, which serves various customers in the U.S. transportation industry. During March 2025, the Company closed on the acquisition of these receivables, paying the seller a preliminary purchase price of $144.5 million, which includes a 10 percent premium relative to the net value of the receivables balance as of the valuation date, plus certain customary adjustments, as defined in the purchase and sale agreement. We accounted for this transaction under the asset acquisition method of accounting and allocated $130.0 million of the total cost of the acquisition to accounts receivable, net of allowance and $14.5 million to a customer relationship intangible asset with a ten-year life. The consideration paid for the accounts receivable was included within operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
| | | | | |
5. | Accounts Receivable, Net |
Accounts receivable consists of amounts billed to and due from customers across a wide range of industries and other third parties. The Company often extends short-term credit to cardholders by paying the merchant for the purchase price less the fees it retains and records as revenue, then subsequently collecting the total purchase price from the cardholder. The Company also extends revolving credit to certain small fleets. The Company had approximately $116.0 million and $114.1 million in gross receivables with revolving credit balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The allowance for accounts receivable consists of reserves for both credit and fraud losses, reflecting management’s current estimate of uncollectible balances on its accounts receivable. The following tables present changes in the accounts receivable allowances by portfolio segment:

(1)The provision is comprised of estimated credit losses based on the Company’s loss-rate experience and includes adjustments required for forecasted credit loss information. The provision for credit losses reported within this table also includes the provision for fraud losses.
(2)Consists primarily of charges to other accounts. The Company earns revenue by assessing monthly finance fees on accounts with overdue balances. These fees are recognized as revenue at the time the fees are assessed. The finance fee is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. On occasion, these fees are waived to maintain relationship goodwill. Charges to other accounts substantially represent the offset against the late fee revenue recognized when the Company establishes a reserve for such waived amounts.
The following table presents the outstanding balance of trade accounts receivable that are less than 30 and 60 days past due, shown in each case as a percentage of total trade accounts receivable:
| | | | | | | | | | | |

Less than 30 days past due | 99 | % | | 98 | % |
Less than 60 days past due | 99 | % | | 99 | % |
Concentration of Credit Risk
The receivables portfolio primarily consists of a large group of homogeneous balances across a wide range of industries, which are collectively evaluated for impairment. No individual customer had a receivable balance representing 10 percent or more of the outstanding receivables balance at March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
| | | | | |
6. | Repurchases of Common Stock |
Under share buyback plans, which may be authorized by our board of directors from time to time, the Company may repurchase up to specified dollar values of shares of its common stock through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase programs, issuer self-tender offers or other methods approved by our board of directors.
Modified “Dutch auction” Tender Offer
On February 26, 2025, the Company commenced a modified “Dutch auction” tender offer to repurchase up to $750.0 million worth of its common stock (the “Tender Offer”). On March 31, 2025, the Company completed the Tender Offer and accepted for purchase a total of approximately 4.9 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $154 per share. The Company paid $750.0 million in cash to complete the Tender Offer, excluding related costs and fees. The Company incurred approximately $4.1 million of costs and fees related to the Tender Offer, which are recorded along with the cost of the shares repurchased as treasury stock on the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
| | | | | |
| PART I |
WEX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) |
Summary of Share Repurchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, pursuant to our existing previously approved and announced repurchase program, the Company repurchased the following approximate shares of common stock, inclusive of the share purchases under the Tender Offer, which have been recorded as treasury stock:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
(In millions) | Shares | | Total Cost1 | | |
Three months ended March 31, 2025 | 5.1 | | $ | 801.6 | | | |
| | | | | |
Three months ended March 31, 2024 | 0.4 | | $ | 73.6 | | | |
| | | | | |
1 Reflects the applicable one percent excise tax imposed by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 on the net value of certain stock repurchases and costs and fees of the Tender Offer.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested DSUs outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that diluted earnings per share includes the assumed exercise of dilutive options, the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs, performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period.
The following table presents net income and reconciles basic and diluted shares outstanding used in the earnings per share computations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
(in millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | | | | |
Net income | $ | 71.5 | | | $ | 65.8 | | | | | |

Weighted average common shares outstanding – Basic | 38.9 | | | 41.8 | | | | | |
Dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards(1) | 0.5 | | | 0.6 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
Weighted average common shares outstanding – Diluted | 39.4 | | | 42.4 | | | | | |
(1)For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 0.6 million and 0.3 million of outstanding share-based compensation awards were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share under the treasury stock method, as the effect of including those shares would be anti-dilutive.
Contingent Consideration Derivative Liability
At March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a contingent consideration derivative liability associated with its asset acquisition from Bell Bank. See Note 13, Financial Instruments − Fair Value and Concentrations of Credit Risk, for further discussion of this derivative and for more information regarding the valuation of the Company’s derivatives.

(1)Primarily collateralizing Corporate Payments processing activity.
(2)Borrowing capacity is contingent on maintaining compliance with the financial covenants as defined in the Company’s Credit Agreement. As of March 31, 2025, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.25 percent to 0.45 percent of the daily unused portion of the Revolving Credit Facility determined based on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The quarterly commitment fee in effect as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was 0.25 percent.
Credit Agreement
As of December 31, 2024, under the Credit Agreement, we had senior secured tranche A term loans (the “Term A Loans”), senior secured tranche B term loans (the “Term B Loans”) and outstanding commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On March 6, 2025, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into the Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the “Seventh Amendment”), which, among other things, established an incremental tranche of senior secured tranche B term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million (the “Incremental Term B-3 Loans”), which are scheduled to mature on March 6, 2032. The Incremental Term B-3 Loans were issued with 0.5 percent original issue discount (OID) and bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s option, plus an applicable margin, which is fixed at 0.75 percent for base rate borrowings and 1.75 percent with respect to Term SOFR borrowings. The Incremental Term B-3 Loans may be voluntarily prepaid, subject to a 1.00 percent prepayment premium within six months of the closing date of the Seventh Amendment. The proceeds from the Incremental Term B-3 Loans were primarily used to fund the Tender

Offer and to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. See Note 6, Repurchases of Common Stock, for more information on the Tender Offer.
The Company incurred debt financing costs of approximately $4.9 million in conjunction with the Seventh Amendment, in addition to the OID of $2.3 million. The OID and debt financing costs are being amortized over the term of the borrowing to financing interest expense, net of financial instruments.
Senior Notes
On March 6, 2025, the Company completed a private offering of $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.500% senior unsecured notes due March 15, 2033 (the “Senior Notes”). The Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.5 percent per annum, payable semi-annually. The proceeds from the Senior Notes were primarily used to fund the Tender Offer discussed above under Credit Agreement and to repay a portion of the Company’s outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Senior Notes may be redeemed at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices:
| | | | | |
Redemption Period Price | |
Prior to March 15, 2028 | 106.500 | % |
March 15, 2028 - March 14, 2029 | 103.250 | % |
March 15, 2029 - March 14, 2030 | 101.625 | % |
After March 15, 2030 | 100.000 | % |
The Company incurred debt financing costs of approximately $9.2 million in connection with the Senior Notes offering. The debt financing costs are being amortized over the term of the borrowing as non-cash interest expense.
Securitization Debt (VIEs)
Under securitized debt agreements, each month on a revolving basis, the Company sells certain of its Australian and European receivables to bankruptcy-remote entities that are VIEs consolidated by the Company, which in turn use the receivables as collateral to issue securitized debt. Amounts collected on the securitized receivables, including an immaterial amount of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, are restricted to pay the securitized debt and are not available for general corporate purposes. Additionally, creditors of the VIE do not have recourse to WEX Inc. The Company pays interest on the outstanding balance of the securitized debt based on variable interest rates plus an applicable margin.
The Company’s securitized debt agreement for the securitization of its European receivables is with MUFG Bank, Ltd., has a maximum revolving borrowing limit of €55.0 million and expires in April 2026, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties. The Company’s securitized debt facility for the securitization of its Australian receivables is with Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited, has a maximum revolving borrowing limit of A$115.0 million, expires in October 2025 and is annually renewable thereafter unless earlier terminated.
Participation Debt
From time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. Associated unsecured borrowings generally carry a variable interest rate set according to an applicable reference rate plus a margin, which was 2.25 percent as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has an outstanding participation agreement that allows for total borrowings of up to $70.0 million and expires in December 2025, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties. Borrowings under the participation agreement are included in short-term debt given they may be canceled by either party upon 60 days’ advance written notice.
FHLB Advances
WEX Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Des Moines, which provides WEX Bank short-term funding collateralized by investment securities. WEX Bank had $1.2 billion of collateralized borrowings outstanding with
| | | | | |

WEX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) |
the FHLB as of March 31, 2025, with a remaining borrowing capacity of $8.7 million based on collateral provided as of that date.
Borrowed Federal Funds
WEX Bank borrows from short-term uncommitted federal funds lines of credit extended by various financial institutions to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. Under these federal funds lines of credit as of March 31, 2025, WEX Bank had $110.0 million in outstanding borrowings, while as of December 31, 2024, WEX had no outstanding borrowings against these lines of credit.
Other Short Term Borrowings
As an additional source of liquidity, WEX Bank pledged $195.6 million as of March 31, 2025 of customer receivables held by WEX Bank to the Federal Reserve Bank as collateral for potential borrowings through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. Amounts that can be borrowed are based on the amount of collateral pledged and were $144.8 million and $137.7 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. WEX Bank had no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit through the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Under an uncommitted borrowing facility, WEX Australia can be advanced up to A$21.3 million from Bank of America in short-term funds. Interest accrues on any advances at a rate fixed for each interest period of 1.80 percent above the Australian Bank Bill Buying Rate for that interest period. The Company had no borrowings outstanding on this facility as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

11. | Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements |
WEX Europe Services and WEX Bank Accounts Receivable Factoring
WEX Europe Services and WEX Bank are each party to separate accounts receivable factoring arrangements with unrelated third-party financial institutions to sell certain of their accounts receivable balances. Each subsidiary continues to service these receivables post-transfer with no participating interest. Upon transfer, proceeds received are recorded net of applicable costs or negotiated discount rates and are recorded in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Cost of factoring, which was immaterial, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, is recorded within cost of services in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The WEX Europe Services agreement automatically renews each January 1 unless either party gives not less than 90 days written notice of their intention to withdraw. Under this agreement, accounts receivable are sold without recourse to the extent that the customer balances are maintained at or below the credit limit established by the buyer. The Company maintains the risk of default on any customer receivable balances in excess of the buyer’s credit limit, which were immaterial as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Under this arrangement, the Company sold $112.3 million and $130.6 million of accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The WEX Bank agreement has no set expiration date, however, either party can terminate the agreement with 30 days’ notice. Under this arrangement, the Company sold $2.3 billion and $4.5 billion of trade accounts receivable during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Non-Bank Custodial HSA Cash Assets
As a non-bank custodian, WEX Inc. contracts with depository partners to hold custodial cash assets on behalf of individual account holders. As of March 31, 2025, WEX Inc. was custodian to approximately $4.7 billion in HSA cash assets. Of these custodial balances, approximately $1.0 billion of HSA cash assets at March 31, 2025 were deposited with and managed by certain third-party partners and not recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Such third-party depository partners are regularly monitored by management for stability. The remaining balance of $3.6 billion in HSA cash assets as of March 31, 2025 is deposited with and managed by WEX Bank and is therefore reflected on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9, Deposits, for further information about HSA deposits recorded on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The above table includes 604 investment positions at March 31, 2025, where the current fair value is less than the related amortized cost. Unrealized losses on the Company’s debt securities included in the above table are primarily driven by the elevated interest rate environment and are not considered to be credit-related based upon an analysis that considered the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized basis of a security, adverse conditions specifically related to the security, changes to credit rating of the instrument subsequent to Company purchase, and the strength of the underlying collateral, if any. Additionally, the Company does not intend to sell the securities and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities before recovery of their amortized cost bases.

A portion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents are invested in money market mutual funds that primarily consist of short-term government securities, which are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market.
Debt Securities
The Company determines the fair value of U.S. treasury notes using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments in a market that is not active. For corporate and sovereign debt securities, municipal bonds, and asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally valued using Level 2 inputs to the fair value hierarchy.
Pooled Investment Fund
The pooled investment fund maintains individual capital accounts for each investor, which reflect each individual investor’s share of the NAV of the fund. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no unfunded commitments with respect to the fund. Investments in the fund may be redeemed monthly with 30 days’ notice.
Mutual Fund
The Company determines the fair value of its mutual fund using quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market; such inputs are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan Trust
The investments held in the executive deferred compensation plan trust, which consist primarily of mutual funds, are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy because the fair value is determined using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Contingent Consideration
The Company is obligated to pay additional consideration to Bell Bank as part of a prior year asset acquisition, contingent upon increases in the Federal Funds rate from the date of acquisition. The Company determines the fair value of this contingent consideration derivative liability based on discounted cash flows using the difference between the baseline Federal Funds rate in the purchase agreement with Bell Bank and future forecasted Federal Funds rates over the agreement term. The resulting probability-weighted contingent consideration amounts were discounted using a rate of
| | | | | |
| PART I |
WEX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) |
3.98 percent as of March 31, 2025 and 4.42 percent as of December 31, 2024. The Company records changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Due to significant increases in the Federal Funds rate since the acquisition date, the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration derivative liability at both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 were effectively measured at the present value of the maximum remaining contingent consideration payable under the arrangement. Accordingly, the fair value of the contingent consideration could not materially increase, however, a significant decrease in the Federal Funds rate could result in a material decrease in the derivative liability.
Financial Instruments Measured at Carrying Value, for which Fair Value is Disclosed
The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured and reported at carrying value, is as follows for the periods indicated:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | March 31, 2025 | | December 31, 2024 |
(in millions) | | Carrying value | | Fair value | | Carrying value | | Fair value |

| | | | | | | | |
Term A-1 Loans(1) | | $ | 855.0 | | | ** | | $ | 866.3 | | | ** |
| | | | | | | | |
Term B-2 Loans(1) | | 1,384.9 | | | ** | | 1,388.3 | | | ** |
Term B-3 Loans(1) | | 450.0 | | | ** | | — | | | — | |
Outstanding borrowings on Revolving Credit Facility(1) | | 954.3 | | | ** | | 905.6 | | | ** |
Senior Notes(1) | | 550.0 | | | ** | | — | | | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
** Fair value approximates carrying value.
(1)The Company determines the fair value of borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loans and Senior Notes based on market rates for the issuance of the Company’s debt, which are Level 2 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
Other Assets and Liabilities
The carrying value of certain of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those presented above, including cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash payable, short-term contractual deposits and HSA deposits, accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other liabilities, approximate their respective fair values due to their short-term nature or maturities. The carrying value of certain other financial instruments, including interest-bearing money market deposits, securitized debt, participation debt, borrowed federal funds and deferred consideration associated with our acquisitions approximate their respective fair values due to stated interest rates being consistent with current market interest rates.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, investment securities and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited because a large number of geographically and industry diverse customers make up our customer base. See Note 5, Accounts Receivable, Net, for further information.
The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing. Cash balances at many of these institutions regularly exceed FDIC insured limits; however, management regularly monitors the financial institutions and the composition of the Company’s accounts. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the financial institutions at which the Company’s cash is held are stable. We attempt to limit our exposure to credit risk with our investment securities by establishing strict investment policies as to minimum investment ratings, diversification of our portfolio and setting risk tolerance levels.

The Company’s effective tax rate was 28.8 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and 26.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024, respectively. Income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective rate, which requires the Company to make its best estimate of annual pretax income or loss. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was adversely impacted by a tax shortfall arising from stock-based compensation. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was adversely impacted by a discrete tax item of $3.7 million primarily associated with an uncertain tax position related to state income taxes, however, the vast majority of such impact was offset by excess tax benefits arising from stock-based compensation.
Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $336.0 million and $313.6 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company continues to maintain its indefinite reinvestment assertion for its investments in foreign subsidiaries except for any historical undistributed earnings and future earnings for WEX Australia. Upon distribution of these earnings, the Company would be subject to withholding taxes payable to foreign countries, where applicable, but would generally have no further federal income tax liability. It is not practicable to estimate the unrecognized deferred tax liability associated with these undistributed earnings; however, it is not expected to be material.
On December 12, 2022, the European Union (EU) Member States formally adopted the EU’s Pillar Two Directive, which generally provides for a minimum effective tax rate of 15 percent, as established by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two Framework that was supported by over 130 countries worldwide. The EU effective dates were January 1, 2024, and January 1, 2025, for different aspects of the directive. The impact of the Pillar Two Framework on the Company’s income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was not material. The Company is continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the Pillar Two Framework on future periods, pending legislative adoption by additional individual countries.

15. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Litigation and Regulatory Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and regulatory matters in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to: commercial disputes; contract disputes; employment litigation; disputes regarding our intellectual property rights; alleged infringement or misappropriation by us of intellectual property rights of others, and, matters relating to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As of the date of this filing, the current estimate of a reasonably possible loss contingency from all legal or regulatory proceedings is not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity.
Commitments
Significant commitments and contingencies as of March 31, 2025 are consistent with those discussed in Note 20, Commitments and Contingencies, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
| | | | | |
16. | Stock–Based Compensation |
Under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2019 Equity and Incentive Plan (“the Equity and Incentive Plan”), the Company has regularly granted equity awards to certain employees and directors in the form of stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. In addition, the Equity and Incentive Plan allows the Company to grant shares of WEX common stock to employees in lieu of bonus or other compensation earned by such employees.
In lieu of cash compensation payable to certain employees under our 2025 short-term incentive plan (“STIP”), the Company expects to award shares of WEX stock in an amount equal to the total STIP compensation payable to each respective employee, divided by the closing price of WEX common stock on the date of settlement. These awards are
| | | | | |
| PART I |
WEX INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued) (unaudited) |
treated as liability-classified equity awards and the expense associated with them is accrued over the one-year performance period and included within stock-based compensation expense below.
Stock-based compensation expense was $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and $28.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The Company determines its operating segments and reports segment information in accordance with how our Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s CODM, allocates resources and assesses performance. The Company has both three operating segments and three reportable segments, as described below.
•Mobility provides payment solutions, transaction processing, and information management services to a diverse customer base globally. Beyond fuel cards, our portfolio includes SaaS solutions for field service management, telematics, reporting and analytics, cash flow management, and mixed-energy fleets.
•Corporate Payments delivers global B2B payment solutions, including our Direct to Corporate solution that integrates with ERPs and accounting workflows to maximize virtual payment usage, and our Embedded Payments solution that integrates virtual payment capabilities into existing workflows for a broad range of industries, including online travel. We also offer white-label partnerships with financial institutions.
•Benefits simplifies employee benefit plan administration through SaaS software integrated with payment solutions. We deliver diverse product offerings including benefit administration, HSAs, FSAs, HRAs, COBRA and direct billing, and compliance administration. WEX Inc. also serves as an IRS-designated non-bank custodian, while WEX Bank provides HSA depository services.
The CODM uses segment adjusted operating income to evaluate the financial performance of each segment and make decisions regarding the allocation of capital and resources to each segment. The CODM also uses variance analysis of segment adjusted operating income on a recurring basis to assess the performance of the segment against forecast, prior periods and the annual budget. We do not allocate assets to our operating segments as we do not use assets to assess our segment performance.
Segment revenues, expenses and adjusted operating income
Segment adjusted operating income, as reported in the following tables, excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented. Accordingly, certain significant expenses included below have been marked as “adjusted”, as they do not agree with similarly named expense totals appearing elsewhere within this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, due to these exclusions.

18. | Supplementary Regulatory Capital Disclosure |
The Company’s subsidiary, WEX Bank, is subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the UDFI. Under capital adequacy guidelines and the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action, WEX Bank must meet specific capital guidelines that involve quantitative measures of WEX Bank’s assets, liabilities and certain off-balance sheet items. WEX Bank’s capital amounts and classification are also subject to qualitative judgments by the regulators about components, risk weightings and other factors. Failure to meet minimum capital requirements can initiate certain mandatory and possible additional discretionary actions by regulators that, if undertaken, could limit business activities and have a material effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.
Quantitative measures established by regulation to ensure capital adequacy require WEX Bank to maintain minimum amounts and ratios as defined in the regulations. The most recent FDIC exam report categorized WEX Bank as “well capitalized” under the regulatory framework for prompt corrective action. There are no conditions or events subsequent to that examination report that management believes have changed WEX Bank’s capital rating.
The following table presents WEX Bank’s actual and regulatory minimum capital amounts and ratios:

(1)Lower domestic fuel prices compared to the prior year decreased revenue by $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
(2)Total volume and payment processing $ of fuel decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to lower domestic fuel prices.
(3)Our net payment processing rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was flat year-over-year.
Total Mobility revenue decreased $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year, driven primarily by lower average domestic fuel prices, offset in part by an increase in finance fee revenue. Finance fee revenue, which is comprised of the following components, is discussed below.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, | | Increase (Decrease) | | | | |
(in millions) | 2025 | | 2024 | | Amount | | % | | | | | | | | |

Finance fee revenue | $ | 75.2 | | | $ | 70.0 | | | $ | 5.2 | | | 7 | % | | | | | | | | |
Finance income primarily consists of late fees charged for receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance, and to a lesser degree by finance charges earned on revolving portfolio balances. Late fee revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent and is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. Changes in the absolute amount of such outstanding balances can generally be attributed to: (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; and (iii) customer specific delinquencies. Late fee revenue can also be impacted by: (i) changes in late fee rates and (ii) increases or decreases in customer overdue balances.
Factoring fee revenue is comprised primarily of fees calculated at a negotiated percentage of the receivable balance that we purchase.
Both finance income and factoring fee revenue remained relatively consistent with that of the same period in the prior year. Within finance income, the impact of pricing initiatives, which resulted in higher contractual late fee rates charged, were partly offset by a decline in instances of late fees and a decline in fuel prices year-over-year.
Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers experiencing financial difficulties during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures” later in this Item 2 for a reconciliation of operating income to total segment adjusted operating income. See also Part I – Item 1 – Note 17, Segment Information, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment determination.
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. Such margin increased marginally during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year due primarily to the reduction in credit loss provision, as further discussed below.
Cost of services
Provision for credit losses, which includes estimates for both credit and fraud losses, decreased $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year driven primarily by the tighter credit policies put in place during 2023 and 2024 to reduce losses. We generally measure our loss performance by calculating fuel-related losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions. This metric for provision for credit losses was 11.5 basis points of fuel expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, provision for credit losses was 15.3 basis points of fuel expenditures.
Depreciation and amortization increased $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period, due in part to increased capital expenditures for new product development in support of growth.

(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. Revenue earned on HSA assets is highly accretive to earnings and is the primary driver of the increase in segment adjusted operating income margin for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year comparable period.
Cost of services
Service fees increased by $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared with the same period in the prior year, primarily resulting from higher merchant and other related fees.
Other operating expenses
General and administrative expense decreased $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year, due in part to a reduction of Ascensus Acquisition integration costs and in part to a change in estimated attainment of performance-based employee stock-based compensation.

NM - Not meaningful
(1)Our net interchange rate has increased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period of the prior year, substantially due to customer volume mix.
Total Corporate Payments revenue decreased $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to a second quarter 2024 contract renegotiation for a large travel customer. This contract renegotiation was the primary cause of the decline in purchase volume for the same period, as the customer has transitioned to a new operating model. To a lesser extent, the decrease in first quarter revenues year-over-year was due to changes in the timing of customer purchase volumes between calendar quarters and a reduction in interest revenue earned on restricted cash balances, primarily as a result of a decline in average balances as a result of the lower purchase volumes.
Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

See also Part I – Item 1 – Note 17, Segment Information, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment determination.
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. See below for an explanation of changes to our year over year segment adjusted operating margin.
As a result of owning all of our technology and issuing capabilities, our Corporate Payments segment has a highly scalable and relatively fixed cost base resulting in largely comparable expenses year to year. As a result, changes in revenue similarly impact operating income, segment adjusted operating income and segment adjusted operating income margin. Instances in which our expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 did not remain comparable to those of the comparable 2024 period are described hereafter.
Sales and marketing expense increased $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period of the prior year due in part to an increase in partner commissions and employee and other costs targeted at driving growth.
Unallocated corporate expenses
Unallocated corporate expenses represent the portion of expenses relating to general corporate functions, including acquisition and divestiture expenses, certain finance, legal, information technology, human resources, administrative and executive expenses, and other expenses not directly attributable to a reportable segment.
The following table compares line items within operating income for unallocated corporate expenses:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

NM - Not meaningful
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, unallocated corporate expenses decreased $6.8 million as compared to the same period of the prior year due primarily to a change in estimated attainment of performance-based employee stock-based compensation.
Non-operating income and expense
The following table reflects comparative results for certain amounts excluded from operating income:

Income tax provision | $ | 28.9 | | | $ | 24.2 | | | $ | 4.7 | | | Reduction | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
The decrease in financing interest expense, net of financial instruments during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period in the prior year, is primarily due to lower interest rates, offset in part by higher average debt balances.
Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in both U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. The higher losses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from the weakening of certain foreign currencies in which we transact relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, and Australian and Canadian dollars. Losses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2025 were significantly lower than those of the comparable prior year period due to a March 2025 strengthening of many foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar, including the euro, Australian dollar and British pound sterling.
The increase in income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the prior year comparable period is due primarily to an increase in the Company’s pre-tax book income, coupled with a tax shortfall arising from stock-based compensation in the current year. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 28.8 percent, compared to 26.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2024. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 14, Income Taxes, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding the drivers behind our effective tax rates.
Non–GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures
Total Segment Adjusted Operating Income and Adjusted Net Income
In addition to evaluating the Company’s performance on a GAAP basis, Company management uses particular non-GAAP financial measures, which exclude the impact of certain costs, expenses, gains and losses, to evaluate our overall operating performance, including comparison across periods and with competitors. Our management team believes these non-GAAP measures are integral to our reporting and planning processes and uses them to assess operating performance because they generally exclude financial results that are outside the normal course of our business operations or management’s control. These measures are also used to allocate resources among our operating segments and for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes for both short- and long-term operating plans.
Total segment adjusted operating income excludes unallocated corporate expenses, acquisition-related intangible amortization, other acquisition and divestiture related items, debt restructuring costs, stock-based compensation, other costs and certain non-recurring or non-cash operating charges that are not core to our operations, as applicable depending on the period presented.
Adjusted net income, which similarly excludes the impact of all items excluded in total segment adjusted operating income except unallocated corporate expenses, further excludes unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments, net foreign currency gains and losses, debt issuance cost amortization, tax related items, and certain other non-operating items, as applicable depending on the period presented.
For the periods presented herein, the following items have been excluded in determining one or more non-GAAP measures for the following reasons:
•Exclusion of the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments, including interest rate swap agreements and investment securities, helps management identify and assess trends in the Company’s underlying business that might otherwise be obscured due to quarterly non-cash earnings fluctuations associated with these financial instruments. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future periods difficult to evaluate;
•Net foreign currency gains and losses primarily result from the remeasurement to functional currency of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, certain intercompany transactions denominated in foreign currencies and any gain or loss on foreign currency economic hedges relating to these items. The exclusion of these items helps management compare changes in operating results between periods that might otherwise be obscured due to currency fluctuations;
•The change in fair value of contingent consideration, which is related to the acquisition of certain contractual rights to serve as custodian or sub-custodian to HSAs, is dependent upon changes in future interest rate assumptions and has no significant impact on the ongoing operations of the Company. Additionally, the non-cash, mark-to-market adjustments on financial instruments are difficult to forecast accurately, making comparisons across historical and future periods difficult to evaluate;
•The Company considers certain acquisition-related costs, including certain financing costs, investment banking fees, warranty and indemnity insurance, certain integration-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangibles, as well as gains and losses from divestitures to be unpredictable, dependent on factors that may be outside of our control and unrelated to the continuing operations of the acquired or divested business or the Company. In addition, the size and complexity of an acquisition, which often drives the magnitude of acquisition-related costs, may not be indicative of such future costs. The Company believes that excluding acquisition-related costs and gains or losses on divestitures facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in our industry;
•Stock-based compensation is different from other forms of compensation as it is a non-cash expense. For example, a cash salary generally has a fixed and unvarying cash cost. In contrast, the expense associated with an equity-based award is generally unrelated to the amount of cash ultimately received by the employee, and the cost to the Company is based on a stock-based compensation valuation methodology and underlying assumptions that may vary over time;
•Other costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. This also includes non-recurring professional service costs, costs related to certain identified initiatives, including restructuring and technology initiatives, to further streamline the business, improve the Company’s efficiency, create synergies and globalize the Company’s operations, all with an objective to improve scale and efficiency and increase profitability going forward.
•Impairment charges represent non-cash asset write-offs, which do not reflect recurring costs that would be relevant to the Company’s continuing operations. The Company believes that excluding these nonrecurring expenses facilitates the comparison of our financial results to the Company’s historical operating results and to other companies in its industry;
•Debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company. Debt restructuring costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. In addition, since debt issuance cost amortization is dependent upon the financing method, which can vary widely company to company, we believe that excluding these costs helps to facilitate comparison to historical results as well as to other companies within our industry;
•The tax related items are the difference between the Company’s GAAP tax provision and a non-GAAP tax provision. The Company utilizes a fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate in order to provide better consistency across reporting periods. To determine this long-term projected tax rate, the Company performs a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company’s projected adjusted net income before taxes. The fixed annual projected long-term non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change in future periods for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations; and
•The Company does not allocate certain corporate expenses to our operating segments, as these items are centrally controlled and are not directly attributable to any reportable segment.
Total segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income may be useful to investors as a means of evaluating our performance. However, because total segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income are non-GAAP measures, they should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating income or net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Total segment adjusted operating income and adjusted net income as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Adjusted free cash flow has historically been calculated as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net Funding Activity, and certain other adjustments. Such calculation has historically been based on the principle that the net activity in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and investment of HSA deposits would be offset by WEX Bank Funding Activity, however, due to the nature of WEX Bank cash balances, they may be increased or decreased for reasons other than matching operating activity. As a result, beginning with the third quarter of 2024, adjusted free cash flow also includes an adjustment to reflect the change in WEX Bank cash balances and the applicable prior periods have similarly been adjusted to conform to the current presentation.
Although non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, WEX believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure for investors to further evaluate our results of operations because (i) adjusted free cash flow indicates the level of cash generated by the operations of the business, which excludes consideration paid on acquisitions, after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property, equipment and capitalized software that are required to operate the business; (ii) net Funding Activity includes fluctuations in deposits and other borrowings primarily used as part of our accounts receivable funding strategy; (iii) purchases of current investment securities are made as a result of deposits gathered operationally; and (iv) WEX Bank cash balances may be increased or decreased for reasons other than matching operating activity. However, because adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating cash flow as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted free cash flow as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
The following table reconciles GAAP operating cash flow to adjusted free cash flow:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We fund our business operations primarily via cash on hand, cash generated from operations, the issuance of deposits and other borrowings primarily used as part of our accounts receivable funding strategy, and borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we completed a private offering of $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.500% senior unsecured notes due in March 2033 (the “Senior Notes”) and entered into an amendment to our Credit Agreement which, among other things, established an incremental tranche of senior secured tranche B term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $450.0 million, both of which were used to (i) fund the Company’s Tender Offer, (ii) repay $250.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, and (iii) pay related fees and expenses, with any amounts remaining thereafter to be used for general corporate purposes. As of March 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $610.3 million, including Corporate Cash of $162.6 million, and remaining borrowing availability of $606.6 million under the Revolving Credit Facility along with access to various sources of funds, including uncommitted federal funds lines of credit from other banks.
Our short-term cash requirements consist primarily of funding the working capital needs of our business, current principal and interest payments on the credit facilities under our Credit Agreement, and payments on maturities of deposits and other borrowings used as part of our accounts receivable funding strategy. Our long-term cash requirements consist primarily of amounts owed under our Credit Agreement and any other long-term debt outstanding and various facilities lease agreements.
We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, cash generating capabilities, financial condition and operations, and access to available funding sources will be adequate to fund our cash needs for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. The table below includes a more comprehensive list of frequent sources and uses of cash:
| | | | | | | | |
Sources of cash | | Uses of cash |
•Cash generated from operations •Borrowings and availability on our Credit Agreement and other long-term borrowings1 •Deposits2 •Accounts receivable securitization and factoring arrangements3 •Participation debt4 •Borrowed federal funds and other short-term borrowings5 | | •Payments on our Credit Agreement •Payments on maturities of deposits •Payments on borrowed federal funds and other short-term borrowings •Working capital needs of the business •Operating lease obligations •Capital expenditures •Repurchases of common stock6 •Merger and acquisition activity |
(1)As of March 31, 2025 the Company had outstanding term loan principal borrowings of $2,689.9 million, borrowings of $954.3 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, letters of credit of $39.1 million drawn against the Revolving Credit Facility and $550.0 million of outstanding Senior Notes principal. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our Credit Agreement and Senior Notes.
(2)WEX Bank’s regulatory status enables it to raise capital to fund the Company’s working capital requirements by issuing deposits, subject to various regulatory capital requirements administered by the FDIC and the UDFI. Additionally, WEX Bank holds deposits for the benefit of WEX Inc.’s HSA customers subject to the terms of a deposit agreement. As of March 31, 2025, we had $4,646.8 million in total deposits. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 9, Deposits, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our deposits.
(3)The Company utilizes securitized debt agreements to finance a portion of our receivables, lower our cost of borrowing and more efficiently utilize capital. The Company had $95.0 million of securitized debt under these facilities as of March 31, 2025. We also utilize off-balance sheet factoring and securitization arrangements to sell certain of our accounts receivable to unrelated third-party financial institutions in order to accelerate the collection of the Company’s cash and reduce internal costs. Available capacity is generally dependent on the level of our trade accounts receivable eligible to be sold and the financial institutions’ willingness to purchase such receivables. However, the Company is not dependent on them to maintain its liquidity and capital resources. See Part I – Item 1 – Notes 10, Financing and Other Debt and 11, Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information about the Company’s securitized debt and off-balance sheet arrangements.
(4)From time to time, WEX Bank enters into participation agreements with third-party banks to fund customers’ balances that exceed WEX Bank’s lending limit to individual customers. There was $46.5 million borrowed against these participation agreements as of March 31, 2025.
(5)WEX Bank borrows from short-term uncommitted federal funds lines of credit from time to time to supplement the financing of the Company’s accounts receivable. There were $110.0 million of outstanding borrowings under these lines of credit as of March 31, 2025. The Bank is also a member of the FHLB of Des Moines, which provides them collateralized short-term funding. As of March 31, 2025, WEX Bank had $1,180.0
million of advances outstanding, secured by $1.3 billion in fair value of investment securities. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these facilities.
(6)Under share repurchase programs, which may be authorized by our board of directors from time to time, the Company may repurchase up to specified dollar values of shares of its common stock through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, tender offers or accelerated share repurchase transactions or by any combination of such methods approved by our board of directors. See Part I - Item 1 - Note 6, Repurchases of Common Stock, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our share repurchases.
Credit Agreement
Financial Covenants
The Credit Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain customary exceptions, limit the Company and its subsidiaries’ (including, in certain limited circumstances, WEX Bank and the Company’s other regulated subsidiaries) ability to, among other things (i) incur additional debt, (ii) pay dividends or make other distributions on, redeem or repurchase capital stock, or make investments or other restricted payments, (iii) enter into transactions with affiliates, (iv) dispose of assets or issue stock of restricted subsidiaries or regulated subsidiaries, (v) create liens on assets, or (vi) effect a consolidation or merger or sell all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets. The Credit Agreement also contains customary financial maintenance covenants, including that the Company maintain at the end of each fiscal quarter the following financial ratios:
•a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no less than 3.00 to 1.00; and
•a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of no more than 4.75 to 1.00.
We were in compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2025.
In connection with the Company’s closing of the Senior Notes offering of $550.0 million and incremental Term Loan B-3 facility on March 6, 2025, the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio level applicable to the Company’s unlimited restricted payments covenant was amended from 2.75 to 1.00 to 3.50 to 1.00 under the Credit Agreement.
Redemption provisions
The Incremental Term B-3 Loans may be voluntarily prepaid, subject to a 1.00 percent prepayment premium within six months of the closing date of the Seventh Amendment.
Senior Notes
Financial Covenants
The Indenture contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s and certain of its subsidiaries’ (other than the Bank Regulated Subsidiaries (as defined in the Indenture)) ability to (i) create or permit to exist certain liens on any of their property or assets securing any indebtedness, without securing the Senior Notes equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured indebtedness and (ii) enter into sale leaseback transactions. The Company and the Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture) are also limited in their ability to consolidate with or into, or convey, lease or otherwise transfer all or substantially all of their assets on a consolidated basis to any person, subject to certain exceptions.
We were in compliance with these covenants and restrictions as of March 31, 2025.
Redemption provisions
Prior to March 15, 2028, the Company may, at its option, (i) redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at the applicable make-whole price set forth in the Indenture, or (ii) redeem up to 40 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes in an amount not greater than the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at a redemption price equal to 106.500 percent of the principal amount of Senior Notes to be redeemed, so long as at least 50 percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes (originally issued) remains outstanding immediately afterwards. The Company has the option to redeem all or a portion of the Senior Notes at any time on or after March 15, 2028, at specified redemption prices ranging from 100.000 percent to 103.250 percent depending on the date of redemption. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Triggering Event (as defined in the Indenture), the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Senior Notes at 101 percent of the principal amount of such Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase.
Additional Sources of Cash Available
WEX Bank has the ability to borrow funds from the Federal Reserve Bank Discount Window. Borrowing limits fluctuate based on pledged assets, and as of March 31, 2025, the Company could borrow up to a maximum amount of $144.8 million. WEX Bank had no borrowings outstanding on this line of credit as of March 31, 2025. Also, under an uncommitted borrowing facility, WEX Australia can be advanced up to A$21.3 million from Bank of America in short-term funds. The Company had no borrowings outstanding on this facility as of March 31, 2025. See Part I – Item 1 – Note 10, Financing and Other Debt, to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding these borrowing arrangements.

Non-GAAP financial measure: | | | |
Adjusted free cash flow1 | $ | 16.2 | | | $ | (9.2) | |
(1)Adjusted free cash flow has historically been calculated as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net Funding Activity, and certain other adjustments. Such calculation has historically been based on the principle that the net activity in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and investment of HSA deposits would be offset by WEX Bank Funding Activity, however, due to the nature of WEX Bank cash balances, they may be increased or decreased for reasons other than matching operating activity. As a result, beginning with the third quarter of 2024, adjusted free cash flow also includes an adjustment to reflect the change in WEX Bank cash balances and the applicable prior periods have similarly been adjusted to conform to the current presentation. For an updated definition of adjusted free cash flow and a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, and the reasons why we believe this is an important financial measure, please refer to the section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures.
Operating Activities
We fund a customer’s entire receivable in the majority of our Mobility and Corporate Payment processing transactions, while the revenue generated by these transactions is only a small percentage of that amount. Consequently, cash flows from operations are impacted significantly by increases or decreases in fuel prices and purchase volumes, driving changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, which directly impact our capital resource requirements.
Cash used for operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $328.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a greater increase in accounts receivable balances during the first quarter of 2025 compared to the first quarter of 2024. This increase was due in part to the March 2025 purchase of a portfolio of factoring accounts receivable and in part to an increase in first quarter 2025 domestic travel spend volumes compared to those of the fourth quarter of 2024.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows generally consist of capital expenditures, cash used for acquisitions and the investment of eligible custodial cash assets.
Cash used for investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $294.3 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily resulting from first quarter 2024 HSA deposit transfers to WEX Bank, which were invested in available-for-sale debt securities. There were no HSA deposit transfers to WEX Bank during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows generally consist of the issuance and repayment of debt and deposits, changes in restricted cash payable and repurchases of our common stock. Repurchases of our common stock may vary based on management’s evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors.
Net cash from financing activities during 2025 decreased $35.7 million as compared to the prior year primarily due to a reduction in our restricted cash payable resulting from a shift in customer usage of our prepaid business model, offset in part by an increase in Funding Activity. Share repurchases increased during the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, due to the completion of the Tender Offer. We funded the Tender Offer with $450.0 million of gross borrowings from a new Term Loan B-3 facility under our Credit Agreement and through gross proceeds of $550.0 million from a new offering of Senior Notes. The excess of proceeds received through these borrowings over the amounts paid to repurchase shares under the Tender Offer were used to repay borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, these transactions collectively had little net impact on cash flows from financing activities.
As of March 31, 2025, there was $173.9 million worth of WEX common stock available to be purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan authorization.
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Although non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, WEX believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure for investors to further evaluate our results of operations, as further described in the section of this document titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures.
Adjusted free cash flow during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was generally consistent with the prior year comparable period.
Other Commitments, Contingencies and Contractual Obligations
With the exception of the new borrowings discussed earlier in this Liquidity and Capital Resources section, there were no material changes to our contractual obligations from the information previously provided in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Regulatory Matters
WEX Bank is subject to a consent order issued by the FDIC on September 20, 2023 (the “2023 Order”), which requires WEX Bank to make certain improvements, which include corrections of certain issues identified in the 2023 Order and general enhancements to WEX Bank’s compliance management program. Customer impact and any resulting harm from the violations detailed in the 2023 Order have been identified and steps have been taken to remediate any such impact and harm. On December 17, 2024, the FDIC assessed a civil money penalty of $650 thousand to WEX Bank, which has been paid in full, in relation to the 2023 Order. The terms of the 2023 Order will remain in effect and be enforceable until they are modified, terminated, suspended or set aside by the FDIC. The civil money penalty and the matters identified in the 2023 Order have not had, nor are they expected to have, a material effect on WEX Bank’s operations or the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We have no material changes to our critical accounting estimates discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10–Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
As of March 31, 2025, we have no material changes to the market risk disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of WEX Inc., evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2025. “Disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of WEX Inc. concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2025.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2025, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
From time to time, we are subject to legal proceedings, claims and regulatory matters in the ordinary course of business, including but not limited to: commercial disputes; contract disputes; employment litigation; disputes regarding our intellectual property rights; alleged infringement or misappropriation by us of intellectual property rights of others; and, matters relating to our compliance with applicable laws and regulations. As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings and there are no material proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental authorities during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risk factors disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 is qualified by the information that is described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the additional risk factor set forth below. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2024 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We currently have a substantial amount of indebtedness and may incur additional indebtedness, which could increase our leverage, affect our flexibility in managing our business and could materially and adversely affect our ability to meet our debt service obligations.
At March 31, 2025, we had approximately $5.6 billion of debt outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs and debt discount. Such amount outstanding includes obligations under (i) our Credit Agreement, which consists of a tranche
A-1 term loan facility, a tranche B-2 term loan facility, a tranche B-3 term loan facility and a secured revolving credit facility, (ii) the Senior Notes and (iii) securitized and participation debt, borrowed federal funds and advances from the FHLB. In addition to our outstanding debt, as of March 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit issued under our Credit Agreement. We have additional indebtedness in the form of deposits held by WEX Bank and other liabilities outstanding.
Our substantial indebtedness currently outstanding, or as may become outstanding if we incur additional indebtedness, and the terms and conditions of such indebtedness, could, among other things:
•lead to difficulty in our ability to generate enough cash flow to satisfy our indebtedness obligations under our credit facilities, and if we fail to satisfy these indebtedness obligations, an event of default could result;
•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to repaying our indebtedness, thus reducing the amount of funds available to execute on our corporate strategy, to fund working capital or capital expenditures or for other general corporate purposes;
•increase our leverage ratio and limit our ability to borrow additional funds necessary for working capital, capital expenditures or other general corporate purposes;
•increase our vulnerability to adverse general economic or industry conditions;
•place us at a competitive disadvantage relative to our competitors that have less indebtedness or better access to capital, by, for example, limiting our ability to enter into new markets, upgrade our assets or pursue acquisitions or other business opportunities; and
•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to changes in, our business.
We may also incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. In addition to available borrowing capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025, we are also permitted under our credit facilities and the Indenture to incur additional indebtedness, subject to specified limitations, including compliance with covenants contained in our Credit Agreement. If new debt is incurred under any circumstance, the associated risks faced by the Company, such as those set forth above, could intensify.
Moreover, if we are unable to meet any of our principal, interest, or other payment or settlement obligations under any of our debt agreements, we could be forced to restructure or refinance our obligations, seek additional equity financing or sell assets, which we may not be able to do on satisfactory terms or at all. Our default on any of our debt agreements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that we meet certain financial covenants, including a Consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest charge coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio, as described in Part I – Item 2 – Liquidity and Capital Resources. The Credit Agreement also contains various affirmative and negative covenants that, subject to certain customary exceptions, restrict our ability to, among other things, create liens over our property, incur additional indebtedness, enter into sale and lease-back transactions, make loans, advances or other investments, make non-ordinary course asset sales, declare or pay dividends or make other distributions with respect to equity interests, change the nature of our business, enter into certain agreements which restrict our ability to pay dividends or other distributions or create liens on our property, transact business with affiliates and/or merge or consolidate with any other person.
Our ability to comply with these provisions may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial, and industry conditions. Failure to comply with the financial covenants or any other non-financial or restrictive covenants in our Credit Agreement, for any reason, could create a default. Upon a default, our lenders could accelerate the indebtedness under the facilities (except only the requisite lenders under the revolving credit facility and the tranche A term loan facility may accelerate the revolving credit facility due to a breach of the financial covenants), foreclose against their collateral or seek other remedies, which could trigger a default under the Indenture and could jeopardize our ability to continue our current operations. The Indenture also contains limited covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and our subsidiaries’ ability, subject to certain exceptions, to create certain liens and enter into certain sale and leaseback transactions. These covenants do not apply to WEX Bank and its subsidiaries. The Indenture also contains customary events of default that if breached could allow the requisite noteholders to accelerate the maturity of the Senior Notes, and to exercise their rights and remedies under the Indenture, and could also trigger a cross-default under the Credit Agreement.
