World Fuel Services Corporation and Subsidiaries

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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation 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.

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, as updated in “Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition” within this 10-Q report.

 

Goodwill

 

During the first quarter of 2016, we recorded goodwill of $2.1 million in our land segment in connection with the 2016 acquisitions, described in Note 2.  In addition, due to adjustments to provisional amounts identified during the measurement period of our 2015 acquisitions, we increased goodwill by $0.1 million, net primarily due to an increase in the land segment. Additionally, as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries, goodwill decreased by $1.8 million in our land segment and increased by $1.0 million and $0.3 million in our aviation and marine segments, respectively.

 

 

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.

 

6


 

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.

 

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.Acquisitions, Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

 

2016 Acquisitions

 

In the first quarter of 2016, we completed three acquisitions in our land segment which were not significant individually or in the aggregate. The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the 2016 acquisitions have been included in our consolidated financial statements, since their respective acquisition dates, and did not have a significant impact on our revenue and net income for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

In the first quarter of 2016, we agreed to acquire from certain ExxonMobil affiliates their aviation fueling operations at 83 airports in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Australia and New Zealand.  The transaction is subject to customary regulatory consents and closing conditions, including securing third party consents and therefore there can be no assurance that we will be successful in closing the acquisition.

 

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. As all of the criteria for classification as held for sale were met, those assets and liabilities of the business were presented separately as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2016.  Current assets held for sale of the disposal group, which includes inventories and other current assets, were $5.7 million. The non-current assets held for sale, which include property and equipment, goodwill and identifiable intangible assets, were $33.5 million. Current liabilities held for sale, which includes accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, were $5.5 million.  Non-current liabilities held for sale, comprised of deferred tax liabilities, were $5.1 million. These net assets have been reported as part of our land segment.

 

3.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

7


 

activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs.  If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a loss of $0.1 million in revenue and income of $2.9 million in cost of revenue, related to hedge ineffectiveness.  In the event forecasted sales and purchases are less than the hedged amounts, a portion or all of the gain or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

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.

4.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 $805.2 million and $772.2 million as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015,

The cash surrender value of life insurance is in connection with the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and was included in identifiable intangible and other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

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.  The fair value of the assets and liabilities held for sale were measured using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology.  In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the long-lived assets held for sale were recorded at fair value less cost to sell.  The carrying amounts of the current assets and liabilities held for sale approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments.  Based on the fair value hierarchy, as of March 31, 2016, the fair value of the asset disposal group (excluding inventories) of $34.7 million and the liability disposal group of $10.6 million were categorized as Level 3, as significant unobservable inputs were used in the valuation of such assets and liabilities.  The inventories of $4.5 million as of March 31, 2016 were categorized as Level 2 as they were valued based on the price to retailers in a wholesale market.

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 March 31, 2016, we had $113.7 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties, of which $77.7 million have been offset against the total amount of commodity fair value liabilities in the above table and the remaining $36.0 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  In addition, as of March 31, 2016, we have offset $18.7 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.

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 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 first quarter of 2016 was adjusted for an income tax benefit of $4.0 million, net for discrete items related to changes in estimates in uncertain tax positions.  Without the $4.0 million adjustment, the first quarter of 2016 effective income tax rate would have been 15.4%.   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 operated 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 $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The impact of the income tax concession on basic earnings per common share was $0.01 and $0.03 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.  On a diluted earnings per common share basis, the impact was $0.01 and $0.03 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

9.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Other 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 sheet. 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 seeking a court ruling that the loss is not covered under our policy. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we filed an answer to the AGCS complaint and counterclaims against AGCS for declaratory judgment and breach of contract seeking a court ruling that the loss is covered under the policy, an award of damages equal to the full amount of our loss plus interest, as well as fees and costs.  We and AGCS filed cross-motions for summary judgment and the motions were heard in March 2016.  No trial date has been set.  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.

 

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 March 31, 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.

2015 Termination of Employment Agreement

 

Effective March 16, 2015, we entered into an employment termination agreement with the former Aviation Segment President.   In connection with the agreement, we recorded a charge totaling $3.8 million in March 2015, which included non-cash expenses of $0.8 million related to previously awarded stock compensation.

 

10.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, 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.

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 in “Item 1A — Risk Factors” of our 2015 10-K Report.

 

Forward-Looking Statements 

 

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

 

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

 

Examples of forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report include, but are not limited to, our expectations about the conditions in the marine and aviation markets, the timing, cost and benefits of our multi-year project and upgrade of our 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;

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 slowing economic growth in emerging markets, have adversely impacted the global shipping and offshore oil exploration markets, affecting our marine segment.  These macroeconomic trends are complex and present both opportunities and risks for our business.  Sustained low fuel prices and limited volatility result in decreased 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 in 2016.

Conversely, the low fuel price environment benefits the commercial aviation industry allowing commercial airlines to improve profitability and strengthen their balance sheets.  We believe our aviation segment is well positioned to capitalize on the expected increase in passenger growth and route expansion, due in part to our expanded supply capabilities in key airports both in the U.S. and internationally.  Lower 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 portion of our aviation business consists of providing fuel and related products and services to military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments.    While we still expect the military-related activity to decline over time, the related contribution to aviation profitability in 2016 may be similar to the level we experienced in 2015.  Demand for these products and services is driven by global events and can thus vary significantly from period to period.

We may also 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. Finally, our hedging activities may not be effective to mitigate volatile fuel prices and may expose us to counterparty risk. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our 2015 10‑K Report.

Reportable Segments

 

We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, marine and land. 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. 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. In our land segment, we offer fuel, crude oil, lubricants, 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. 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.

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 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this 10Q Report.

Results of Operations

Our results of operations include the results of the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Pester Marketing Company (“Pester”) in our land segment commencing on September 1, 2015, its acquisition date.

Revenues in our aviation segment were $2.2 billion for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.7 billion, or 23.3%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  The decline in aviation revenues was driven by lower average fuel prices per gallon sold in the first quarter of 2016, as compared to 2015, where the average jet fuel price per gallon sold was $1.20 in 2016, as compared to $1.90 in 2015.  The overall decline was partially offset by $0.3 billion, related to an increase in volume to existing customers, whereas volumes for the first quarter of 2016 were 1.6 billion gallons, an increase of 12.2%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. 

 

Revenues in our land segment were $1.7 billion for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $0.4 billion, or 20.2%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  Our land revenues were impacted by a $0.5 billion decline, resulting from a lower average fuel price per gallon sold

21


 

in the first quarter of 2016, as compared to the first quarter of 2015. The overall decline was partially offset by $0.1 billion, related to an increase in volume from new and existing customers, whereas volumes for the first quarter of 2016 was 1.2 billion gallons, an increase of 8.6%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.

 

Revenues in our marine segment were $1.3 billion for the first quarter of 2016, a decrease of $1.0 billion, or 45.0%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  The decrease was driven primarily by an approximate 50% decline in the average price per metric ton sold, to $144.0 in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to $295.0 in the first quarter of 2015. Volumes in our marine segment remained flat at 7.7 million metric tons for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

Gross Profit.  Our gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $223.8 million, an increase of $8.4 million, or 3.9%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

Our aviation segment gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $91.0 million, an increase of $8.1 million, or 9.8%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015. The increase in aviation gross profit was due to increased volume attributable to our core resale business in North America and Europe as well as an increase in US and foreign military-related activity,  which was partially offset by a lower gross profit per gallon sold.

 

Our land segment gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $93.6 million, an increase of $15.0 million, or 19.0%, as compared to the first 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 and increases in retail and natural gas resale activities, offset in part by the impact of historically warm weather on our reselling activities in the United Kingdom.

 

Our marine segment gross profit for the first quarter of 2016 was $39.2 million, a decrease of $14.7 million, or 27.3%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  The decrease in marine segment gross profit of $14.7 million was impacted by the low fuel price environment which resulted in decreased demand for the price risk management products we offer, lower sales to the offshore specialty market due to the significant reduction in offshore exploration activity, and lower unit margins in core resale activities.

 

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 2016 were $160.5 million, an increase of $16.6 million, or 11.5%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  The total increase in operating expenses was primarily associated with acquired businesses, related professional fees and other growth-related initiatives.

Our income from operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $63.3 million, a decrease of $8.2 million, or 11.5%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  The overall decline was experienced in our marine segment, where income from operations for the first quarter of 2016 was $11.4 million, a decrease of $14.7 million, or 56.3%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015. This decrease resulted from lower gross profit per metric ton sold in the first quarter of 2016 as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  In addition, the low fuel price environment has resulted in lower margins and decreased demand for the price risk management products we offer within this segment.  The marine decline was partially offset by increased volume experienced in our Aviation segment and, to a lesser extent, our Land segment.

 

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the first quarter of 2016 were $18.4 million, an increase of $4.2 million, or 29.6%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.  This increase was principally due to increased expenses to support our growing global business.

 

Non-Operating Expenses, net.    For the first quarter of 2016, we had non-operating expenses, net of $6.3 million, a slight decrease of $0.7 million as compared to the first quarter of 2015.

 

Income Taxes.  For the first quarter of 2016, our effective income tax rate was 8.3% and our income tax provision was $4.8 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 15.3% and an income tax provision of $9.9 million for the first quarter of 2015.  Our provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2016 was adjusted for an income tax benefit of $4.0 million, net for discrete items related to changes in estimates in uncertain tax positions.  Without the $4.0 million adjustment for the discrete items, the first quarter of 2016 effective income tax rate would have been 15.4%.

 

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest.  For the first quarter of 2016, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $0.1 million, a decrease of $0.9 million as compared to the first quarter 2015.

 

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share.  Our net income for the first quarter of 2016 was $52.4 million, a  decrease of $3.2 million, or 5.8%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015. Diluted earnings per common share for the first quarter of 2016 was $0.75 per common share, a decrease of $0.03 per common share, or 3.8%, as compared to the first quarter of 2015.

Operating Activities.   For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash provided by operating activities was $138.5 million as compared to $106.9 million for the first three months of 2015.  The $31.6 million increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to

23


 

year-over-year changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions.  For the first quarter of 2016 changes in accounts receivables provided cash of $142.9 million, as compared to $85.6 million in the first quarter of 2015, principally as a result of lower average fuel prices.  Changes in inventories and short-term derivative assets were impacted by the low fuel price environment resulting in combined net cash provided of $117.9 million in the first three months of 2016 as compared to combined net cash provided of $87.3 million in the first three months of 2015. Additionally, the associated cash collateral we are required to post with our financial counterparties declined, providing cash of $54.0 million in 2016, as compared to $43.6 million in the comparable prior year period. These favorable changes were partially offset by changes in our accounts payable balance, where we had a cash use of $191.2 million for the first quarter of 2016, as compared to a cash use of $91.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, driven principally by lower average fuel prices and timing of payments to suppliers

 

Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, net cash used in investing activities was $52.5 million as compared to $11.5 million for the first three months of 2015. The $41.0 million increase in cash used in investing activities was principally due to increased acquisition-related activity, whereas in the first three months of 2016 we completed three acquisitions in our land segment.

 

Financing Activities.   For the three months ended March 31, 2016,  net cash provided by financing activities was $19.7 million as compared to $2.4 million of cash used in financing activities for the first three months of 2015.  The $22.1 million change was principally due to increased net borrowings under our credit facility in the first three months of 2016 as compared to the first three months of 2015.

 

Other Liquidity Measures

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  As of March  31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had cash and cash equivalents of $689.7 million and $582.5 million, respectively. Our primary use of cash and cash equivalents are to fund strategic investments, primarily acquisitions and purchase inventory. We are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases; however, certain suppliers require us to either prepay or provide a letter of credit. Increases in oil prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash needed to fund fuel purchases as well as reducing the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis from our suppliers.

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 early planning phase and the cost incurred during the first quarter 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.

 

Credit Facility and Term Loans. We have a Credit Facility which permits borrowing up to $1.26 billion with a sublimit of $400.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The Credit Facility matures in October 2018. We had outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility totaling $446.0 million and $416.0 million as of March 31, 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  We also had $329.8 million and $333.2 million in Term Loans outstanding as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.  As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the unused portion of our Credit Facility was $807.6 million and $838.5 million, respectively.

Our liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Facility 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 March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.

Other Credit Lines and Receivables Purchase 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 March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $162.8 million and $208.4 million, respectively. We also have Receivables Purchase Agreements

24


 

(“RPAs”) that allow for the sale of up to an aggregate of $499.0 million of our accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2016, we had sold accounts receivable of $106.6 million under the RPAs.

 

Short-Term Debt. As of March 31, 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 March  31, 2016 (of which $107.7 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.

 

Acquisitions.  In the first quarter of 2016, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire from certain ExxonMobil affiliates their aviation fueling operations at 83 airports in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Australia and New Zealand. The total purchase price is approximately $260.0 million and is expected to be fully funded with cash on hand. The transaction will close in phases, with the majority of locations expected to close during the second half of 2016. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory consents and closing conditions, including securing third party consents and therefore there can be no assurance that we will be successful in closing the acquisition.

 

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 March 31, 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 March  31, 2016, our net derivative obligations were $65.1 million, principally due within one year.

 

Purchase Commitment Obligations.  As of March  31, 2016, fixed purchase commitments under our derivative programs amounted to  $73.6 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 March  31, 2016, we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $168.0 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.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

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

25


 

We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Bad Debt

 

Credit extension, monitoring and collection are performed for each of our business segments. Each segment has a credit committee that is responsible for approving credit limits above certain amounts, setting and maintaining credit standards, and managing the overall quality of the credit portfolio. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as determined by our review of our customer’s credit information. We extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers. Accounts receivable are deemed past due based on contractual terms agreed to with our customers. Although we analyze customers’ payment history and creditworthiness, we cannot predict with certainty that the customers to whom we extend credit will be able to remit payments on a timely basis, or at all.  Because we extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers, there is a possibility that any accounts receivable not collected will ultimately need to be written off.  Write-offs for the first quarter of 2016 did not have a significant impact on our consolidated statement of operations.

We continuously monitor collections and payments from our customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses based upon our historical experience with our customers, current market and industry conditions affecting our customers and any specific customer collection issues that we have identified.  Historical payment trends may not, however, be an accurate indicator of current or future creditworthiness of our customers, particularly in difficult economic and financial markets. As a result of the limited predictability inherent in estimating which customers are less likely or unlikely to remit amounts owed to us, our provision for estimated credit losses may not be sufficient.  Any write-off of accounts receivable in excess of our provision for estimated credit losses would have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

If credit losses exceed established allowances, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected. For additional information on the credit risks inherent in our business, see “Item 1A – Risk Factors” included in our 2015 10‑K Report.

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued using the average cost methodology and are stated at the lower of average cost or market. We utilize a variety of fuel indices and other indicators of market value. Sharp negative changes in these indices can result in reduction of our inventory valuation, which could have an adverse impact on our results of operations in the period in which we take the adjustment.  Historically these adjustments have not had a significant impact on our consolidated statements of operations.  Components of inventory include fuel purchase costs, the related transportation costs and changes in the estimated fair market values for inventories included in a fair value hedge relationship.

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.  While we currently believe that our derivative contracts will be effective in mitigating the associated price risks, it is possible that our derivative instruments will be ineffective at mitigating material changes in prices, which could have an adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.  At the inception and on an ongoing basis, we assess the hedging relationship to determine its effectiveness in offsetting changes in cash flows or fair value attributable to the hedged risk.

The fair value of our derivatives is derived using observable and certain unobservable inputs, such as basis differentials, which are based on the difference between the historical prices of our prior transactions and the underlying observable data.  Measurement of the fair value of our derivatives also requires the assessment of certain risks related to non-performance, which requires a significant amount of judgment.  The effect on our income before income taxes of a 10% change in the model input for non-performance risk would not be significant to our consolidated statements of operations.    

We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. Our limited amounts of proprietary derivative transactions carry a higher degree of risk than our other derivative activities due to the speculative nature of these transactions.  For the first quarter of 2016, our proprietary derivative transactions did not have a significant impact to our consolidated statement of operations. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (“NPNS”), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts.  While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs.  If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no

26


 

longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.

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

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

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill arises because the purchase price paid reflects numerous factors, including the strategic fit and expected synergies these acquisitions bring to our existing operations. Goodwill is recorded at fair value and is reviewed at least annually at year-end (or more frequently under certain circumstances) for impairment.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment based on an assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of any individual reporting unit is less than its carrying amount (Step 0). If we determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. Otherwise, we would perform the two-step impairment analysis described below.

Step 1 requires us to compare the fair value of the reporting units to which goodwill was assigned to their respective carrying values. In calculating fair value, we use the income approach as our primary indicator of fair value. Under the income approach, we calculate the fair value of a reporting unit based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. These estimates are based on a number of factors including industry experience, business expectations and the economic environment. If the fair value exceeds the carrying value, no further work is required and no impairment loss is recognized. If the carrying value exceeds the fair value, the goodwill of the reporting unit is potentially impaired and the Company would then complete step 2 in order to measure the impairment loss.

The qualitative assessment associated with step 0 and the quantitative assessment associated with step 1 of our goodwill impairment analysis both involve significant management estimates and judgment in order to properly determine that the factors assessed are appropriate and are accurate for each of the Company’s reporting units.

In connection with our acquisitions, we record identifiable intangible assets at fair value. The determination of the fair values of our identifiable intangible assets involves a significant amount of forecasting and other assumptions associated with recently acquired businesses for which we may not have as much historical information or trend data as we would for our existing businesses.  Identifiable intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. We assess identifiable intangible assets not subject to amortization at least annually for potential impairment.  Our impairment analysis of our intangible assets not subject to amortization (primarily trademarks and/or trade names) generally involves the use of qualitative and quantitative analyses to estimate

27


 

whether the estimated future cash flows generated as a result of these assets will be greater than or equal to the carrying value assigned to such assets. We have not historically incurred any impairment losses associated with our intangible assets.

Revenue Recognition

 

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

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

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

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

Whether the services have been performed and when title and risk of loss passes to the customer are the factors we take into consideration in deciding when to recognize revenue.  These factors are readily determinable and consistently applied throughout our business.  Therefore, we generally have not needed to make significant estimates or assumptions with respect to revenue recognition.

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, Not Adopted as of March 31, 2016.

 

Revenue Recognition.  In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  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.

 

 Derivatives and Hedging: In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging: Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships and ASU 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 dedesignation 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.

 

Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 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.

28


 

 

Leases.   In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU 2016-02, Leases. 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.

 

Compensation – Stock Compensation:  Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09. 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.

 

 

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 March 31, 2016, see Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements – Note 3. 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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2016.

29


 

 

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.
