Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We prepared the consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Unites States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) can be condensed or omitted. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “World Fuel”, “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“10-Q Report”) refer to World Fuel Services Corporation and its subsidiaries.

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year. As further discussed in Note 2, certain 2015 amounts contained in this 10-Q Report have been updated to reflect corrections to our previously issued financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial information, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. The information included in this 10-Q Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“2015 10-K Report”). Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and associated notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are disclosed in Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2015 10‑K Report, and as updated in our 10-Q Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition”.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

The following accounting standards updates were recently adopted by the Company:

Business Combinations: Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement – Period Adjustments. In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (‘FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), to simplify the accounting for adjustments made to provisional amounts recognized in a business combination; the amendments eliminate the requirement to retrospectively account for those adjustments. The ASU requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. It also requires the acquirer to record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items: Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. In January 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Derivatives and Hedging: Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. In November 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which clarifies how current generally accepted accounting principles in the United States should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Going Concern: In August 2014, the FASB issued an ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management of the Company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have an impact on our financial statement disclosures.

Compensation - Stock Compensation: Accounting for Share-Based Payments when the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which includes guidance that requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2. Correction of Previously Issued Financial Information

During the second quarter of 2016, we identified a correction to our provision for income taxes for certain prior periods, due to the accounting for the tax effects of foreign currency translation changes on intercompany loans that are considered to be of a long-term investment nature. The Company determined that it had incorrectly applied the accounting guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes and recorded a deferred tax asset related to foreign currency translation losses in the provision for income taxes, resulting in the Company reporting a lower provision for income taxes in the periods that were impacted.

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 99, Materiality, and SAB No. 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements , management evaluated the materiality of the error from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded the error was not material to its previously issued annual and interim financial statements. The cumulative amounts of the corrections were approximately $20.0 million , of which approximately $12.5 million was attributable to the year ended December 31, 2015. The cumulative amount of the prior period adjustments would have been material to our Statement of Income and Comprehensive Income for the quarter ended June 30, 2016, had we made the correction in that period. Accordingly, we have revised our previously issued financial statements prospectively to correct these errors.

The corrections associated with the provision for income taxes line items as well as other immaterial adjustments are reflected in this 10-Q Report for all periods presented and those corrections will be reflected in our future fillings.

3. Acquisitions, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

2016 Acquisitions

On July 1, 2016, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock of PAPCO, Inc. (“PAPCO”) and Associated Petroleum Products, Inc (“APP”). PAPCO, headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA and APP, headquartered in Tacoma, WA are leading distributors of gasoline, diesel, lubricants, propane and related services in the Mid-Atlantic and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, respectively. These acquisitions combined with the Company’s existing land segment operations, will serve to further enhance our commercial and industrial platforms to deliver value-added solutions to customers across the United States.

Table of Contents

In addition to the above acquisitions, we completed five acquisitions in our land segment in the first nine months of 2016 which were not significant individually or in the aggregate.

The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid for all 2016 acquisitions and the provisional amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed recognized at the acquisition date. The Company is in the process of finalizing the valuations of certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities; thus, the provisional measurements of these acquired assets and assumed liabilities are subject to change and will be finalized no later than one year from the acquisition date.



	Total
Cash paid for acquisition of businesses	$	247.9
Amounts due to sellers	14.5
Estimated purchase price	$	262.4

Assets acquired:
Accounts and notes receivable	$	60.4
Inventories	33.7
Property and equipment	44.2
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets	172.0
Other current and long-term assets	11.2

Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable	(33.0		)
Accrued expenses and other current liabilities	(25.9		)
Long-term liabilities and deferred tax liabilities	(0.3		)
Estimated purchase price	$	262.4

All of the goodwill was assigned to the land segment and is attributable primarily to the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the operations of PAPCO and APP with the operations of World Fuel Services' land segment. The identifiable intangible assets consists of customer relationships and other identifiable intangible assets.

The following presents the unaudited pro forma results for 2016 and 2015 as if 2016 acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2015:

Tobras Distribuidora de Combustiveis Limitada (“Tobras”)

On June 23, 2016, we acquired the remaining 49% of the outstanding equity interest of Tobras Distribuidora de Combustiveis Limitada (“Tobras”) from the minority owners for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $3.7 million in cash (the “Tobras Acquisition”). Prior to the Tobras Acquisition, we owned 51% of the outstanding shares of Tobras and exercised control, and as such, we consolidated Tobras in our financial statements. As a result of the acquisition of the remaining equity interest of Tobras, we recorded a $10.9 million adjustment to capital in excess of par value on our consolidated balance sheets, which consisted of $3.7 million of cash paid and $7.2 million of non-controlling interest equity.

ExxonMobil

In the first quarter of 2016, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire from certain ExxonMobil affiliates their aviation fueling operations at more than 80 airport locations in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Australia and New Zealand. The total purchase price is approximately $260 million and is expected to be fully funded with cash on hand. The transaction will close in phases and we expect to complete the Canada, France and U.K. locations during the fourth quarter of 2016. The remaining locations are expected to be completed during the first half of 2017. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory consents and closing conditions, including securing third party consents.

2015 Acquisitions

On September 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Pester Marketing Company (“Pester”), a leading distributor, transporter, and blender of branded motor fuels and lubricants to wholesale, industrial, commercial and agricultural customers. Pester is headquartered in Denver, Colorado and is also a leading operator of retail convenience stores in the Rocky Mountain region.

In addition to the above acquisition, in September 2015, we completed an acquisition in our aviation segment which was not significant.

The following presents the unaudited pro forma results for 2015 as if the 2015 acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2015 (in millions, except per share data):



	Three Months Ended		Nine Months Ended
	September 30,		September 30,
(In millions, except per share data)	2015		2015
Revenues	$	7,948.7	$	24,071.1
Net income attributable to World Fuel	52.0		139.9

Earnings per common share:
Basic earnings per common share	$	0.74	$	1.98
Diluted earnings per common share	$	0.74	$	1.97

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

In connection with the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Pester Marketing Company (“Pester”) on September 1, 2015, we committed to a plan to sell certain assets and liabilities of Pester’s fuel retail business. On May 1, 2016, we completed the sale of Pester’s retail business for $32.3 million , resulting in a gain of $3.8 million , which is included in other income, net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

4. Derivatives

We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities in basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (“NPNS”), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS

Table of Contents

no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheets and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain commodity contracts we enter into to mitigate the risk of price volatility in forecasted purchases and sales.

Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.

Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps or futures as well as certain fixed price purchase and sale contracts and proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.

As of September 30, 2016 , our derivative instruments, at their respective fair value positions were as follows (in millions, except weighted average fixed price and weighted average mark-to-market amount):

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

5. Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fair value for our debt and notes receivable is derived using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. The carrying values of these instruments approximate fair value since these instruments bear interest either at variable rates or fixed rates which are not significantly different than market rates. Based on the fair value hierarchy, our debt of $1,138.9 million and $772.2 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, and our notes receivable of $17.4 million and $7.4 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively, are categorized in Level 3.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements. In connection with the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Pester on September 1, 2015, we committed to a plan to sell certain assets and liabilities of Pester’s fuel retail business. On May 1, 2016, we completed the sale of Pester’s retail business for $29.3 million in cash and an additional $3.0 million to be received at a future date.

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

As of September 30, 2016 , we had $47.5 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties, of which $20.0 million have been offset against the total amount of commodity fair value liabilities in the above table and the remaining $27.6 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as of September 30, 2016 , we have offset $1.0 million of cash collateral deposits received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table. As of December 31, 2015 , we had $174.6 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties, of which $132.2 million have been offset against the total amount of commodity fair value liabilities in the above table and the remaining $42.4 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2015 , we have offset $21.6 million of cash collateral deposits received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table.

The nature of inputs that are considered Level 3 are modeled inputs. Commodity contracts are categorized in Level 3 due to the significance of the unobservable model inputs to their respective fair values. The unobservable model inputs, such as basis differentials, are based on the difference between the historical prices of our prior transactions and the underlying observable data as well as certain risk related to non-performance. The effect on our income before income taxes of a 10% change in the model input for non-performance risk would not be significant. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 during the periods presented. Transfers between Level 2 and Level 3 were due to the increased significance of basis adjustments which are Level 3 measurements.

6. Debt

On October 26, 2016, we amended our Credit Facility which added a new $520 million Term Loan facility, thereby increasing the aggregate outstanding Term Loans to approximately $840.0 million , and expanded our right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $200.0 million , subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The amended Credit Facility matures in October 2021.

We had outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility totaling $796.0 million and $416.0 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $5.1 million and $5.5 million as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. We also had $323.0 million and $333.2 million in Term Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , the unused portion of our Credit Facility was $457.6 million and $838.5 million , respectively.

Table of Contents

Our Credit Facility and our Term Loans contain certain financial and other covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and our Term Loans, trigger cross‑defaults under certain other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2016 , we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.

We have other uncommitted credit lines primarily for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and bankers’ acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $156.8 million and $208.4 million , respectively.

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

The foreign currency translation adjustment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Brazilian Real and the British Pound. The foreign currency translation adjustment losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Brazilian Real and the British Pound.

8. Income Taxes

Our income tax provision for the periods presented and the respective effective income tax rates for such periods are as follows (in millions, except for income tax rates):



	For the Three Months ended						For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Income tax provision	$	5.4		$	17.7		$	15.7		$	33.6

Effective income tax rate	11.1		%	29.3		%	11.2		%	21.7		%

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month and nine -month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 was calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the full 2016 and 2015 fiscal years. Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was adjusted for an income tax benefit of $1.6 million , net, for discrete items related to changes in estimates in uncertain tax positions. Without the $1.6 million adjustment, the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 effective income tax rate would have been 12.4% . The actual effective income tax rate for the full 2016 fiscal year may be materially different as a result of differences between estimated versus actual results and the geographic tax jurisdictions in which the results are earned.

We operate under a special income tax concession in Singapore which began January 1, 2008. Our current five year special income tax concession was effective January 1, 2013. The special income tax concession is conditional upon our meeting of certain employment and investment thresholds which, if not met in accordance with our agreement, may eliminate the benefit beginning with the first year in which the conditions are not satisfied. The income tax concession reduces the income tax rate on qualified sales and the impact of this income tax concession decreased foreign income taxes by $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and by $2.4 million and $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively. The impact of the income tax concession on basic earnings per common share was $0.01 and $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $0.03 and $0.05 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 respectively. On a diluted earnings per common share basis, the impact was $0.01 and $0.02 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, and $0.03 and $0.05 for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

In connection with a theft of fuel product valued at approximately $18.0 million , we recorded an insurance receivable for the full amount of the loss, which is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On July 31, 2014, our insurer, AGCS Marine Insurance Company (“AGCS”), filed a declaratory judgment action against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (“District Court”) seeking a court ruling indicating that the loss is not covered under our policy. On May 17, 2016, the District Court entered an Order granting summary judgment in our favor demur holding that the loss is covered under the AGCS policy. Final judgment in the case has not yet been entered however on August 18, 2016, the District Court heard oral argument on the issue of damages and pre-judgment interest, which issues are pending before the court. On June 14, 2016, AGCS filed with the District Court a Notice of Appeal whereby it sought to appeal the Order granting summary judgment to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ("Appellate Court"), after which we filed a Notice of Cross-Appeal. On August 3, 2016, the Appellate Court issued an Order staying AGCS' appeal pending entry of judgment in the underlying case. We believe AGCS’ position is without merit and we intend to vigorously pursue our rights. However, due to the complexities and uncertainties inherent in litigation, we can provide no assurance that we will recover the full amount of the loss.

Other Matters

On August 31, 2016, Hanjin Shipping Co., Ltd. (“Hanjin”), one of our customers in our marine segment, filed for bankruptcy protection in South Korea and on September 1, 2016, the Korean Rehabilitation Court accepted Hanjin’s application for rehabilitation. As of October 13, 2016, we had outstanding receivables owing from Hanjin of approximately $18 million . We believe we will recover all or substantially all the amounts owed to us by Hanjin, or otherwise successfully mitigate any related losses, through the enforcement of maritime liens against vessels as well as other avenues of recovery and loss mitigation. However, there can be no assurance, that we will be able to recover all amounts owed or fully mitigate all losses.

From time to time, we are under review by the Internal Revenue Service and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and indirect tax matters and are involved in various challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, US, Brazil and South Korea, where the amounts under controversy may be significant. When we deem it appropriate and the amounts are reasonably estimable, we establish reserves for potential adjustments to our provision for income taxes and accrual of indirect taxes that may result from examinations by these tax authorities. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of the federal, state, and foreign income tax liabilities and indirect tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, it could result in a further charge to expense. We believe that the final outcome of these examinations, agreements, administrative or judicial proceedings will not have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows.

We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, personal injury, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and tax and administrative claims. We have established loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2016 , we had recorded certain reserves which were not significant. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures for that period.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

12. Business Segments

Based on the nature of operations and quantitative thresholds pursuant to accounting guidance for segment reporting, we have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, land and marine. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. Within our aviation segment we offer fuel and related products and services to major commercial airlines, second and third tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, airports, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the United States (“U.S.”) and foreign governments as well as intergovernmental organizations. In our land segment, we offer fuel, crude oil, lubricants, power solutions through our global energy management service offerings, natural gas and related products and services to customers including petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial, residential and government customers. Our marine segment product and service offerings include fuel, lubricants and related products and services to a broad base of customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines, yachts and time charter operators, offshore rig owners and operators, the U.S. and foreign governments as well as other fuel suppliers. Within each of our segments we may enter into derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations and also to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs.

Information concerning our revenue, gross profit and income from operations by segment is as follows (in millions):

Item 2.	Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2015 10-K Report and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in “Item 1 — Financial Statements” appearing elsewhere in this 10-Q Report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ significantly from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ are disclosed in “Item 1A — Risk Factors” of our 2015 10-K Report, as updated in our previously filed 10-Q Reports.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report and the information incorporated by reference in it, or made by us in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), press releases, teleconferences, industry conferences or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or

Table of Contents

achievements, and may contain the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “could,” “would,” “will,” “will be,” “will continue,” “will likely result,” “plan,” or words or phrases of similar meaning.

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

Examples of forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report include, but are not limited to, our expectations about the conditions in the marine and aviation markets, cost reduction initiatives, the timing, cost and benefits of our multi-year project and upgrade of our Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) platform, the timing for closing the acquisition of assets from ExxonMobil affiliates and funding of the purchase price, as well as expectations regarding our government business, our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, effectiveness of internal controls to manage risk, working capital, liquidity, capital expenditure requirements and future acquisitions. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in the company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2016. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding our ability to obtain required consents and satisfy closing conditions in acquisitions, our ability to capitalize on new market opportunities, the demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of fuel from suppliers, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, outcome of pending litigation, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

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


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


•	changes in the market price of fuel;


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


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


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


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


•	non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments;


•	loss of, or reduced sales to a significant government customer;


•	non-performance of third-party service providers;


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


•	the impact of cyber and other information security-related incidents;


•	currency exchange fluctuations;


•	currency and other global market impacts associated with United Kingdom referendum vote to exit from the European Union;


•	failure of fuel and other products we sell to meet specifications;


•	our ability to manage growth;

Table of Contents


•	our ability to effectively integrate and derive benefits from acquired businesses;


•	material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel;


•	environmental and other risks associated with the storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products;


•	risks associated with operating in high risk locations;


•	uninsured losses;


•	the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes;


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


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


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


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


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


•	increased levels of competition;


•	the outcome of litigation and other proceedings, including the costs associated in defending any actions;


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


•	increases in interest rates; and


•	other risks, including those described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our 2015 10-K Report and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

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

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

Business Outlook

Declines in commodity and energy prices, together with slow economic growth globally, continue to impact the shipping and offshore oil exploration markets, adversely affecting our marine segment. These macroeconomic trends are complex and present both opportunities and risks for our business. Sustained low fuel prices as compared to previous years, and limited volatility result in decreased per unit margins, reduced demand for our price risk management products, and lower sales to the offshore specialty market due to the significant reduction in offshore exploration activity. We expect that adverse conditions in the shipping markets will continue over the remainder of 2016 and into 2017. Further, as previously communicated, we have identified and intend to execute certain cost reduction activities that are designed to lower our marine segment cost structure and drive efficiencies.

Table of Contents

We believe our land segment is well positioned to continue growing market share, both organically and through leveraging the capabilities of our acquisitions, including the recently announced PAPCO, Inc. ("PAPCO") and Associated Petroleum Products, Inc. ("APP") acquisitions. PAPCO, headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA and APP, headquartered in Tacoma, WA are leading distributors of gasoline, diesel, lubricants, propane and related services in the Mid-Atlantic and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, respectively. These acquisitions combined with our existing land segment operations, will serve to further enhance our commercial and industrial platforms to deliver value-added solutions to customers across the United States.

However, our land segment can be impacted substantially by weather conditions. In periods where we experience historically unusual weather conditions, demand for our products may be affected. For example, during the third quarter of 2016, we experienced unseasonably warm weather conditions in the U.K. during the latter part of the quarter, which lowered demand for our fuel products. The continuation of extreme weather conditions in the future could adversely impact our results of operations.

We believe our aviation segment is well positioned to capitalize on the low fuel price environment, which could result in increased passenger growth and route expansion, enabling us to capitalize on our expanded supply capabilities in key airports both in the U.S. and internationally. Sustained low fuel prices have also reduced the working capital cost required to support our aviation segment, thereby improving returns and making such capital available for investment in other areas of our business. A significant portion of our aviation business consists of providing fuel and related products and services to the U.S. and foreign governments. While we still expect military-related activity to decline over time, the related contribution to aviation profitability in 2016 is expected to be slightly better than the levels we experienced in 2015. Demand for these products and services is driven by global events and military-related activities and can therefore significantly change from period to period.

Our aviation segment capabilities will benefit from the previously announced ExxonMobil transaction, where we agreed to acquire aviation fueling operations from certain ExxonMobil affiliates. This transaction once completed will expand our commercial and general aviation network by adding physical supply at more than 80 airports throughout Canada, France, U.K., Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and Australia. Our integration team remains diligently engaged in completing this transaction and we expect to complete the Canada, France and U.K. locations during the fourth quarter of 2016. The remaining locations are expected to be completed during the first half of 2017. We expect this transaction to modestly contribute to profitibality in the fourth quarter of 2016. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory consents and closing conditions, including securing third party consents.

We may experience decreases in future sales volumes and margins as a result of further deterioration in the world economy, declines in the transportation industry, natural disasters and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, as well as potential future terrorist activities and possible military retaliation. In addition, because fuel costs represent a significant part of our customers’ operating expenses, volatile and/or high fuel prices can adversely affect our customers’ businesses, and, consequently, the demand for our services and our results of operations.

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union (“E.U.”), commonly referred to as "Brexit". As a result, global markets were adversely impacted, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. The announcement of Brexit and the withdrawal of the U.K. from the E.U. may also create global economic uncertainty, unknown social and geopolitical impacts. These impacts may also cause our customers to closely monitor their costs and reduce their spending budgets on our products and services, which in turn, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. Finally, our hedging activities may not be effective to mitigate volatile fuel prices and may expose us to counterparty risk.

Reportable Segments

We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land and marine. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related products and services to major commercial airlines, second and third tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, airports, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and the United States (“U.S.”) and foreign governments as well as intergovernmental organizations. In our land segment, we offer fuel, crude oil, lubricants, power solutions through our global energy management service offerings, natural gas and related products and services to customers including petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial, residential and government customers. Our marine segment product and service offerings include fuel, lubricants and related products and services to a broad base of customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines, yachts and time charter operators, offshore rig owners and operators, the U.S. and foreign governments as well as other fuel suppliers. Within each of our segments we may enter into derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations and also to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs.

Table of Contents

In our aviation and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and other products, and we do not act as brokers. Profit from our aviation and land segments is primarily determined by the volume and the gross profit achieved on fuel sales and a percentage of card payment and processing revenue. In our marine segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and also act as brokers for others. Profit from our marine segment is determined primarily by the volume and gross profit achieved on fuel resales and by the volume and commission rate of the brokering business. Profitability in our segments also depends on our operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provide for potential bad debt.

Our revenue and cost of revenue are significantly impacted by fuel prices. Our operating results are subject to seasonal variability. Seasonality results from numerous factors, including traditionally higher demand for natural gas and home heating oil during the winter months and aviation and land fuel during the summer months, as well as other seasonal weather patterns. Additionally, significant movements in fuel prices during any given financial period can have a significant impact on our gross profit, either positively or negatively depending on the direction, volatility and timing of such price movements.

Selected financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 12 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this 10‑Q Report.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2015

Revenue. Our revenue for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.4 billion , a decrease of $0.4 billion , or 5.3% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . Our revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):



	For the Three Months ended
	September 30,
	2016		2015		$ Change
Aviation segment	$	2,969.2	$	2,995.3	$	(26.1	)
Land segment	2,509.8		2,427.3		82.5
Marine segment	1,920.7		2,388.1		(467.4		)
	$	7,399.8	$	7,810.7	$	(410.9	)

Revenues in our aviation segment were $3.0 billion for the third quarter of 2016 , a decrease of $26.1 million , or 0.9% as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The decline in aviation revenues was driven by lower average jet fuel prices per gallon sold in the third quarter of 2016 , where the average price per gallon sold was $1.57 , as compared to $1.79 in the third quarter of 2015 . The overall decline attributable to jet fuel prices was partially offset by increased volumes, which were influenced by additional market share acquired. Volumes for the third quarter of 2016 were 1.9 billion gallons, an increase of 13.1% , as compared to the comparable prior year period.

Revenues in our land segment were $2.5 billion for the third quarter of 2016 , an increase of $82.5 million , or 3.4% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The increase in land revenues primarily resulted from a 12.9% volume increase in our land segment to 1.4 billion gallons for the third quarter of 2016 , primarily attributable to new customers and acquired businesses, as compared to the 2015 period, partially offset by a lower average fuel price per gallon sold in the third quarter of 2016 , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 .

Revenues in our marine segment were $1.9 billion for the third quarter of 2016 , a decrease of $0.5 billion , or 19.6% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The decrease was driven by declines in average prices and volumes sold. We experienced a 12.1% decline in the average price per metric ton sold, to $244.8 in the third quarter of 2016 as compared to $278.5 in the third quarter of 2015 . Volumes in our marine segment declined 8.5% to 7.8 million metric tons for the third quarter of 2016 , as compared to the 2015 period. Our marine segment continues to be adversely impacted by the prolonged weakness in the overall maritime industry.

Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the third quarter of 2016 was $236.7 million , an increase of $10.0 million , or 4.4% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

Marine segment	37.2		48.6		(11.4		)
	$	236.7	$	226.7	$	10.0

Our aviation segment gross profit for the third quarter of 2016 was $111.7 million , an increase of $4.8 million , or 4.5% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The increase in aviation gross profit was primarily due to increases in the core resale business in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, as well as increases in U.S. and foreign military-related activity. We expect gross profit in our aviation segment to experience traditional seasonal declines in gross profit in the fourth quarter.

Our land segment gross profit for the third quarter of 2016 was $87.8 million , an increase of $16.5 million , or 23.2% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . While average fuel prices per gallon sold decreased , our land segment generated an increase in gross profit that was driven by recently acquired businesses, including PAPCO and APP. Increases in our land segment were partially offset by lower demand in the agricultural sector in the United Kingdom.

Our marine segment gross profit for the third quarter of 2016 was $37.2 million , a decrease of $11.4 million , or 23.4% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . Our marine segment continued to be adversely impacted by the prolonged weakness in the overall maritime industry. The lower fuel price environment, combined with lower price volatility, led to decreased demand for our price risk management offerings, which contributed to lower overall unit margins. In addition, certain large marine customers experienced financial challenges, which created disruption and introduced additional uncertainty in the markets where we operate.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2016 were $178.4 million , an increase of $18.1 million , or 11.3% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The total increase in operating expenses was associated with acquired businesses primarily within our land segment. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in millions):

Our income from operations for the third quarter of 2016 was $58.2 million , a decrease of $8.2 million , or 12.3% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The decrease was attributable primarily to our marine segment, which was negatively impacted by lower overall fuel prices as well as weakness in the land segment related to historically warm weather conditions in the United

Kingdom in the latter part of the third quarter. The decline in those segments was partially offset by our aviation segment, which benefited from increased volume in the core resale business in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, as well as increases in U.S. and foreign military-related activity.

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the third quarter of 2016 were $18.6 million , an increase of $1.3 million , or 7.5% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . This increase was principally driven by additional costs related to overall corporate enterprise activities that are not charged to the business segments.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the third quarter of 2016 , we had non-operating expenses, net of $9.8 million , an increase of $3.9 million as compared to the third quarter of 2015 , driven principally by debt costs.

Income Taxes . For the third quarter of 2016 , our effective income tax rate was 11.1% and our income tax provision was $5.4 million , as compared to an effective income tax rate of 29.3% and an income tax provision of $17.7 million for the third quarter of 2015 . The lower effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2016 was impacted principally by significantly lower results in the United States where our tax rate is the highest.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest . For the third quarter of 2016 , net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.3 million , an increase of $1.3 million as compared to the third quarter of 2015 .

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share . Our net income for the third quarter of 2016 was $42.7 million , a decrease of $1.0 million , or 2.2% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . Diluted earnings per common share was $0.61 and $0.62 per common share for the third quarter of 2016 and 2015 , respectively.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Revenue. Our revenue for the first nine months of 2016 was $19.2 billion , a decrease of $4.4 billion , or 18.7% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . Our revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

	$	19,223.6	$	23,647.8	$	(4,424.2	)

Revenues in our aviation segment were $7.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , a decrease of $1.3 billion , or 14.0% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The decline in aviation revenues was driven by lower average jet fuel prices per gallon sold in the first nine months of 2016 , where the average price per gallon sold was $1.49 , as compared to $1.93 in 2015 . The overall decline attributable to jet fuel prices was partially offset by increased volume, where volumes for the first nine months of 2016 were 5.2 billion gallons, an increase of 11.7% , as compared to the comparable prior year period.

Revenues in our land segment were $6.4 billion for the first nine months of 2016 , a decrease of $680.0 million , or 9.6% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The decline in land revenues primarily resulted from a lower average fuel price per gallon sold during the first nine months of 2016 , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The overall decline was partially offset by an increase in volumes, from new customers and acquired businesses, where volumes for the first nine months of 2016 were 3.9 billion gallons, an increase of 9.2% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 .

Revenues in our marine segment were $5.0 billion for the first nine months of 2016 , a decrease of $2.5 billion , or 33.0% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The decrease was driven primarily by a 30.4% decline in the average price per metric ton sold, to $212.3 in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to $305.1 in the first nine months of 2015 . Volumes in our marine segment for the first nine months of 2016 were 23.7 million metric tons and decrease d by 3.7% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 .

	$	676.7	$	630.7	$	46.0

Our aviation segment gross profit for the first nine months of 2016 was $298.9 million , an increase of $26.0 million , or 9.5% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The increase in aviation gross profit was due to increased volume attributable to the core resale business in North America, Europe and Asia, as well as increased activity in our U.S. and foreign military-related businesses.

Our land segment gross profit for the first nine months of 2016 was $261.7 million , an increase of $48.2 million , or 22.6% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The increase in land segment gross profit was primarily driven by recently acquired businesses, including PAPCO, APP and acquisitions in our global energy management services business. Increases in our land segment were partially offset by lower demand in the United Kingdom due to unseasonably warm weather conditions.

Our marine segment gross profit for the first nine months of 2016 was $116.0 million , a decrease of $28.3 million , or 19.6% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The marine segment continued to be adversely impacted by the prolonged weakness in the overall maritime industry. The lower fuel price environment combined with lower price volatility, led to decreased demand for our price risk management offerings, which contributed to lower overall unit margins.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2016 were $511.9 million , an increase of $56.8 million , or 12.5% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . The total increase in operating expenses was associated with acquired businesses. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in millions):

	$	164.8		$	175.6		$	(10.8	)

Our income from operations, including unallocated corporate overhead, for the first nine months of 2016 was $164.8 million , a decrease of $10.8 million , or 6.1% , as compared to the third quarter of 2015 . The decline was primarily attributable to our marine segment and, to a lesser extent our land segment, where income from operations declined modestly. In our marine segment, income from operations for the first nine months of 2016 was $32.8 million , a decrease of $24.5 million , or 42.8% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . Our marine segment continued to be adversely impacted by the prolonged weakness in the overall maritime industry. The lower fuel price environment, combined with lower price volatility, led to decreased demand for our price risk management offerings and lower overall unit margins in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . In addition, certain large marine customers experienced financial challenges, which created disruption and introduced additional uncertainty in the markets where we operate. The decline s in our marine and land segments were partially offset by increases in our aviation segment, where our aviation segment benefited from increased volume attributable to our core resale business and increased activity in our U.S. and foreign military-related businesses.

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the first nine months of 2016 were $55.7 million , an increase of $9.6 million , or 20.9% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 , principally driven by additional costs related to overall corporate enterprise activities that are not charged to the business segments and are designed to support our growing global business.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. We had non-operating expenses, net of $24.8 million and $21.0 million , for the first nine months of 2016 and 2015 , respectively, driven principally by debt costs.

Income Taxes . For the first nine months of 2016 , our effective income tax rate was 11.2% and our income tax provision was $15.7 million , as compared to an effective income tax rate of 21.7% and an income tax provision of $33.6 million for the first nine months of 2015 . Our provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was adjusted for an income tax benefit of $1.6 million , net for discrete items related to changes in estimates in uncertain tax positions. Without the $1.6 million adjustment, the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 effective income tax rate would have been 12.4% . The lower effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2016 was impacted principally by significantly lower results in the United States where our tax rate is the highest.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest . For the first nine months of 2016 , net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.1 million , an increase of $3.6 million as compared to the first nine months of 2015 .

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share . Our net income for the first nine months of 2016 was $124.3 million , an decrease of $167.8 thousand , or 0.1% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 . Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2016 was $1.78 per common share, an increase of $0.03 per common share, or 1.7% , as compared to the first nine months of 2015 .

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows

The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (in millions). For additional details, please see the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Table of Contents



	For the Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2016			2015
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	220.3		$	325.2
Net cash (used in) investing activities	(259.2		)	(114.0		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	325.7			99.9

Operating Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , net cash provided by operating activities was $220.3 million as compared to $325.2 million for the first nine months of 2015 . The $104.9 million decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to year-over-year changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions. Cash flows from changes in inventory, resulted in a cash use of $89.3 million in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to cash provided of $22.6 million in the comparable period of 2015 . This change was as a result of additional inventory in support of overall volume increases, specifically in our aviation and land segments. Cash flows from net accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, decreased $47.6 million. These decreases were partially offset by changes in the associated cash collateral we are required to post with our financial counterparties which provided $128.8 million during the first nine months of 2016 , as compared to $93.9 million during the first nine months of 2015 principally driven by lower average fuel prices.

Investing Activities . For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , net cash used in investing activities was $259.2 million as compared to $114.0 million for the first nine months of 2015 . Of the $145.1 million increase in cash used in investing activities, $184.5 million was due to increased acquisition-related activity, which was partly offset by $29.3 million of proceeds from the sale of assets.

Financing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 , net cash provided by financing activities was $325.7 million as compared to $99.9 million of cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2015 . The $225.8 million increase was principally due to $168.1 million higher net borrowings under our credit facility in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 and a $52.1 million decrease in cash used for common stock repurchases in the first nine months of 2016 as compared to the first nine months of 2015 .

Other Liquidity Measures

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , we had cash and cash equivalents of $872.3 million and $582.5 million , respectively. Our primary use of cash and cash equivalents are to fund working capital and strategic investments. We are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases. Increases in oil prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash needed to fund fuel purchases as well as reducing the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis from our suppliers.

Credit Facility and Term Loans. On October 26, 2016, we amended our Credit Facility which added a new $520 million Term Loan facility, thereby increasing the aggregate outstanding Term Loans to approximately $840.0 million , and expanded our right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $200.0 million , subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The amended Credit Facility matures in October 2021.

Our liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Facility, which fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers as well as commodity prices. Our Credit Facility and our Term Loans contain certain financial and other covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and our Term Loans, trigger cross‑defaults under certain other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2016 , we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.

Table of Contents

We previously committed to undertake a multi-year project designed to drive greater improvement in operating efficiencies and optimize scalability designed to incorporate acquisitions that we may undertake in the future. We will accomplish this in part by a global design and deployment of an upgrade to our existing ERP platform. We are currently in the planning phase and the cost incurred during the first nine months of 2016 was not considered significant. We expect the total cost of the project over the next three years to range between $30.0 million and $40.0 million.

Other Agreements . Additionally, we have other uncommitted credit lines primarily for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and bankers’ acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $156.8 million and $208.4 million , respectively. We also have Receivables Purchase Agreements (“RPAs”) that allow for the sale of up to an aggregate of $499.0 million of our accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2016 , we had sold accounts receivable of $199.2 million under the RPAs.

Short-Term Debt . As of September 30, 2016 , our short-term debt of $28.8 million primarily represents the current maturities (within the next twelve months) of Term Loan borrowings, certain promissory notes related to acquisitions and capital lease obligations.

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016 (of which $206.2 million was available for use by our U.S. subsidiaries without incurring additional costs) and available funds from our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, remain sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, to further enhance our liquidity profile, we may choose to raise additional funds which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity would be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the availability of trade credit or other forms of financing include our financial performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided by operating activities), the state of worldwide credit markets, and our levels of outstanding debt. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, financing may be limited or unavailable on terms favorable to us.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for changes in the contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements described below, there were no other material changes from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016 . For a discussion of these matters, refer to “Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Item 7 of our 2015 10-K Report.

Contractual Obligations

Derivative Obligations. As of September 30, 2016 , our net derivative obligations were $43.0 million, principally due within one year.

Purchase Commitment Obligations. As of September 30, 2016 , fixed purchase commitments under our derivative programs amounted to $49.2 million, principally due within one year.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees. In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit expire within one year from their issuance, and expired letters of credit are renewed as needed. As of September 30, 2016 , we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $161.9 million under our Credit Facility and other uncommitted credit lines. For additional information on our Credit Facility and other credit lines, see the discussion in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Information regarding recently adopted accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1 - Significant Accounting Policies in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this 10-Q Report.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Table of Contents

Cash Flows. In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The standard is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The ASU provide guidance on eight specific cash flow issues. This standard is effective at the beginning of our 2018 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Compensation – Stock Compensation: Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In March 2016, ASU No. 2016-09, was issued. This ASU is intended to improve the accounting for employee share-based payments. Several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment award transactions are simplified, including: (a) income tax consequences; (b) classification of awards as either equity or liabilities; and (c) classification on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year with an election to early adopt at the beginning of 2016. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will impact our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Derivatives and Hedging. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU No. 2016-06, Derivatives and Hedging: Contingent Put and Call Options in Debt Instruments. ASU 2016-05 clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as a hedging instrument does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. ASU 2016-06 clarifies the steps required to determine bifurcation of an embedded derivative. These standards are effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of these standards will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Leases . In February 2016, ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, was issued. This standard will require all lessees to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet, except for leases with durations that are less than twelve months. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The new standard must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and requires application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, which simplifies the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory within the scope of this update to be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market. This standard is effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, was issued. Under this ASU and subsequently issued amendments, an entity is required to recognize the amount of revenue it expects to be entitled to for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The updated standard will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, but not before December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating how the adoption of the standard will impact our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivatives

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain commodity contracts we enter into to mitigate the risk of price volatility in forecasted purchases and sales.

Fair Value Hedges . Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.

Non-designated Derivatives . Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps or futures as well as certain fixed price purchase and sale contracts and proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.

For information about our derivative instruments, at their respective fair value positions as of September 30, 2016 , see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements –

Note 4. Derivatives

There have been no material changes to our exposures to interest rate or foreign currency risk since December 31, 2015. Please refer to our 2015 10-K Report for a complete discussion of our exposure to these risks.


Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

As of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2016 .

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2016 .

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

Part II — Other Information


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

On July 20, 2016, the Company was informed that the U.S. Department of Justice (the "DOJ") is conducting an investigation into the aviation fuel supply industry, including certain activities of the Company and other industry participants at an airport in Central America. In connection therewith, the Company was served with formal requests by the DOJ about its activities at that airport and its aviation fuel supply business more broadly. The Company is cooperating with the investigation.


Item 1A.	Risk Factors

We have updated our existing risk factor on foreign exchange rates disclosed in Part I—Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 16, 2016 to include information associated with the current events in the United Kingdom.

Fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could materially affect our financial condition and results of operations.

The majority of our business transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. In certain markets, however, payments to some of our fuel suppliers and from some of our customers are denominated in local currency. We also have certain liabilities, primarily for local operations, including income and transactional taxes, which are denominated in foreign currencies. This subjects us to foreign currency exchange risk. Although we generally use hedging strategies to manage and minimize the impact of foreign currency exchange risk when available, these hedges may be costly and at any given time, only a portion of this risk may be hedged. Accordingly, our exposure to this risk may be substantial and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates could adversely affect our profitability.

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

As a result of the June 23, 2016 referendum in which British voters approved an exit from the European Union (“E.U.”), commonly referred to as "Brexit", global markets were adversely impacted, including currencies, and resulted in a decline in the value of the British pound, as compared to the U.S. dollar and other currencies. The announcement of Brexit and the withdrawal of the U.K. from the E.U. may also create global economic uncertainty, unknown social and geopolitical impacts, and may cause our customers to closely monitor their costs and reduce their spending budget on our products and services, which in turn, may adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.


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

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The following table presents information with respect to repurchases of common stock made by us during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016 (in thousands, except average price per share):

(2) In September 2016, our Board of Directors renewed its existing common stock repurchase program by replacing the remainder of the existing program and authorizing the purchase of up to $100.0 million in common stock (the “Repurchase Program”). The Repurchase Program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2016, $100.0 million remains available for purchase under the Repurchase Program. The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors.
