We believe that in [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] approximately [removed: 13%] [added: 14%] our consolidated revenue was directly influenced by the absolute price of fuel.
Approximately [removed: 10%] [added: 5%] of our consolidated revenue in [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] was derived from transactions where our revenue is tied to fuel-price spreads.
[removed: Our] [added: For the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, our] bad debt expense was [removed: $44.9] [added: $64.4] million [removed: in 2017] and [removed: $35.9 million in 2016,] [added: $44.9 million,] or [removed: 7] [added: 6] bps [removed: in 2017] and [removed: 8] [added: 7] bps [removed: in 2016,] [added: of total billings,] respectively.
Revenues for late fees and finance charges represent 6% of our consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
During [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] our top three strategic relationships with major oil companies accounted for less than 6% of our consolidated revenue.
Our agreements with our major oil company partners typically have initial terms of five to ten years with current remaining terms ranging from about one to [removed: six] [added: eight] years.
[added: The loss of existing major truck stop] merchant relationships or failure to continue such relationships on similar terms could adversely affect our ability to serve our over-the-road fuel card customers and our business and operating results.
Our operating results are materially affected by conditions in the economy generally, both in the [removed: U.S] [added: U.S.] and internationally.
Even if we are successful in developing new services and technologies, these new services and technologies may not achieve broad acceptance due to a [added: variety of factors, including a lack of industry-wide standards, competing products and services, or resistance to these changes from our customers.]
At December 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] we had approximately [removed: $4.47] [added: $4.78] billion of debt outstanding under our Credit Facility and Securitization Facility.
Although we have been able to renew our Securitization Facility [removed: annually] in the past, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to renew this facility in the future on terms acceptable to us.
[added: There can be no] assurance that the size of the facility can be expanded to meet these increased working capital needs.
[removed: Further, we are] exposed to the risk of increased interest rates because our borrowings under the Securitization Facility are subject to variable rates of interest.
We renewed our Securitization Facility as of [removed: November 14, 2017,] [added: August 30, 2018,] with an expiration date of November 14, 2020.
For the year ended December 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] approximately [removed: 37%] [added: 39%] of our revenue was denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar (primarily, British pound, Brazilian real, Canadian dollar, Russian ruble, Mexican peso, Czech koruna, Euro, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar).
We also expect to seek to expand our operations into various [added: additional] countries in Asia, Europe and Latin America as part of our growth strategy.
[removed: Although] [added: Other than this unauthorized access incident,] we are not aware of any material breach of our or our associated third parties’ computer [removed: systems or material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches,] [added: systems, although] we and others in our industry are regularly the subject of attempts by bad actors to gain unauthorized access to these computer systems and data or to obtain, change or destroy confidential data (including personal consumer information of individuals) through a variety of means, including computer viruses, malware and phishing.
[added: Although we believe we have sufficient controls in place to prevent disruption] and [added: misappropriation and] to respond to such attacks, any inability to prevent security breaches could have a negative impact on our reputation, expose us to liability, decrease market acceptance of electronic transactions and cause our present and potential clients to choose another service provider.
The costs of systems and procedures associated with such protective [removed: measures] [added: measures, as well as the cost of deploying additional personnel, training our employees and hiring outside experts,] may increase and could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.
Any failure to adequately enforce or provide these protective measures could result in liability, protracted and costly litigation, governmental and card network intervention and [removed: fines and,] [added: fines, remediation costs, and] with respect to misuse of personal information of our customers, lost revenue and reputational harm.
We believe that future growth in the use of credit, debit and stored value cards and other electronic payments will be driven by the cost, ease-of-use, [removed: and quality of services offered.]
During [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] a majority of our gift card revenue was derived from the design and purchase of gift card inventory, with the remaining portion of our [removed: 2017] [added: 2018] gift card revenue derived primarily from processing fees.
If we fail to retain any of these customers, it will be difficult to find a replacement customer on a timely basis or at all because there is a limited number of national retailers in the U.S. and nearly all of those [added: other national retailers already have a gift card solution in place, either in-house or with one of our competitors.]
Our balance sheet includes goodwill and intangible assets that represent approximately [removed: 66%] [added: 62%] of our total assets at December 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
[removed: If the carrying value of the asset is] determined to be impaired, it is written down to fair value by a charge to operating earnings.
[removed: While we monitor] the [removed: use of open] source [removed: software in our technology and services and try to ensure that none is used in a manner that would require us to disclose the source] code to the related technology or service, such use could inadvertently occur and any requirement to disclose our proprietary source code could be harmful to our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business in Canada is also subject to Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, or the PCTFA, which is a corollary to the [removed: BSA.]
In addition, recently implemented and pending changes in accounting standards (for example, changes relating to revenue recognition for customer contracts that [removed: will become] [added: became] effective for fiscal 2018) may adversely affect our results of operations.
Rules adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC"), as well as the provisions of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation and its technical standards, which are directly applicable in the member states of the European Union, have subjected certain of the foreign exchange derivative contracts we offer to our customers as part of [removed: Cambridge's] [added: the Cambridge Global Payments ("Cambridge")] business, to reporting, recordkeeping, and other requirements.
Additionally, the regulatory regimes for derivatives in the United States and European Union, such as under the Dodd-Frank Act and the European Markets in Financial Instruments Directive known as "MiFID II," are continuing to evolve and changes to such regimes, our designation under such regimes, or the implementation of new rules under such regimes, such as future registration requirements and increased regulation of derivative contracts, may result in additional costs [removed: to our business.]
If more restrictive privacy laws or rules are adopted by authorities in the future on the federal or state [removed: level,] [added: level or internationally,] our compliance costs may increase, our opportunities for growth may be curtailed by our compliance capabilities or reputational harm and our potential liability for security breaches may increase, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
For example, the EU-wide General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, which was passed by the European Union Parliament in the spring of 2016 and [removed: will become] [added: became] fully effective in May 2018, [removed: following a two-year implementation period, will replace] [added: replaced] the data protection laws of each European Union member state.
The GDPR [removed: will implement] [added: implements] more stringent operational requirements for processors and controllers of personal data, including, for example, increased requirements to erase an individual’s information upon request, mandatory data breach notification requirements and [removed: onerous] new obligations on service providers.
[added: The obligations of the] sellers are also generally subject to various limitations.
We are subject to claims and a number of judicial and administrative proceedings considered normal in the course of our current and past operations, including employment-related disputes, contract disputes, intellectual property disputes, government [added: inquiries, investigations,] audits and regulatory proceedings, customer disputes and tort claims.
From time to time, we have had, and expect to continue to receive, inquiries from regulatory bodies and administrative agencies relating to the operation of our [added: business.]
[added: to our] business.
For more information about our judicial and other proceedings, see “Business—Legal [removed: Proceedings.”][added: Proceedings”.]
We are named in a federal securities class action lawsuit and [added: related] derivative [added: complaints, as well as a customer class action] complaint; if we are unable to resolve these matters favorably, then our business, operating results and financial condition may be adversely affected.
In July 2017, a shareholder derivative complaint was filed against certain of the Company’s directors and officers in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia seeking recovery on behalf of the [removed: Company.][added: Company, and on January 9, 2019, a second shareholder derivative complaint was filed in the Superior Court of Gwinnett County, Georgia.]
Further, we are
Changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 may adversely affect our results of operations.
LIBOR and certain other “benchmarks” are the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform.
These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past or have other consequences which cannot be predicted.
In particular, on July 27, 2017, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, publicly announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021.
It is unclear whether, at that time, LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established.
Any uncertainty regarding the continued use and reliability of LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate could adversely affect the performance of LIBOR relative to its historic values.
If the methods of calculating LIBOR change from current methods for any reason, or if LIBOR ceases to perform as it has historically, our interest expense associated with the unhedged portion of our outstanding indebtedness or any future indebtedness we incur may increase.
Further, if LIBOR ceases to exist, we may be forced to substitute an alternative reference rate, such as a different benchmark interest rate or base rate borrowings, in lieu of LIBOR under our current and future indebtedness and cash flow hedges.
At this point, it is not clear what, if any, alternative reference rate may be adopted to replace LIBOR, however, any such alternative reference rate may be calculated differently than LIBOR and may increase the interest expense associated with our existing or future indebtedness.
Finally, the replacement or disappearance of LIBOR may adversely affect the value of and return on our LIBOR-based obligations and the availability, pricing and terms of cash flow hedges we use to hedge our variable interest rate risk.
Alternative reference rates or modifications to LIBOR may not align for our assets, liabilities, and hedging instruments, which could reduce the effectiveness of certain of our interest rate hedges, and could cause increased volatility in our earnings.
We may also incur expenses to amend and adjust our indebtedness and swaps to eliminate any differences between any alternative reference rates used by our cash flow hedges and our outstanding indebtedness.
Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect our borrowing costs, business and results of operations.
We have foreign operations in, or provide services for commercial card accounts in 82 countries throughout North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania and Asia.
While we have not suffered any material losses relating to cyber-attacks or other information security breaches, we discovered unauthorized access to certain of our systems during the second quarter of 2018, which we previously disclosed.
Following the discovery of suspicious activity primarily on systems involving the Company’s gift card business, the Company took prompt
action to stop the activity and limit the improper use of accessed private label gift card information (these gift cards do not contain personally identifiable information such as consumer names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers and other sensitive personal data) with the help of technology forensic firms.
The Company also contacted federal law enforcement and merchants known to be affected.
The investigation has now been concluded and, based on the findings of the investigation, the unauthorized access was limited to what was reported in the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed May 10, 2018, and we do not expect the unauthorized access to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations.
For example, we are subject to statutes, regulations, and rulings relevant to the direct email marketing and text-messaging industries, including the TCPA, the CAN-SPAM Act, FCC orders, state-enacted laws regulating commercial email and foreign legislation (such as the Canadian Anti-Spam Legislation and European laws enacted pursuant to European Union Directive 2002/58/EC and its amendments).
While we believe we are in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations, if we were ever found to be in violation, our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.
While we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses we may not carry insurance or maintain coverage sufficient to compensate for all liability and such insurance may not be available for renewal on acceptable terms or at all, and in any event, insurance coverage would not address the reputational damage that could result from a security incident.

BSA.
We are also subject to various statutes, regulations, and rulings relevant to the direct email marketing and text-messaging industries, including the TCPA, the CAN-SPAM Act and related FCC orders.
The TCPA, as interpreted and implemented by the FCC and U.S. courts imposes significant restrictions on the use of telephone calls and text messages to residential and mobile telephone numbers as a means of communication when prior consent of the person being contacted has not been obtained.
Violations of the TCPA may be enforced by the FCC or by individuals through litigation, including class actions.
Statutory penalties for TCPA violations range from $500 to $1,500 per violation, which has been interpreted to mean per phone call.
While we have implemented processes and procedures to comply with these laws, if we or the third parties on which we rely for data fail to adhere to or successfully implement appropriate processes and procedures in response to existing or future regulations, it could result in legal and monetary liability, fines, penalties, or damage to our reputation in the marketplace, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Additionally, any changes to these laws, their interpretation, or enforcement by the government or private parties that further restrict the way we contact and communicate with our potential customers or generate leads could adversely affect our ability to attract customers and could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
The Tax Act significantly changed how the U.S. taxes corporations, including limitations on the deductibility of interest expense and executive compensation, and the imposition or acceleration of taxation on certain foreign income, each of which may increase our tax expense.
Both the Tax Act and subsequent regulations and interpretations require complex computations to be performed that were not previously required in U.S. tax law, significant judgments to be made in interpretation of the provisions of the Tax Act, significant estimates in calculations, and the preparation and analysis of information not previously relevant or regularly produced.
The U.S. Treasury Department, the IRS, and other standard-setting bodies could interpret or issue guidance on how provisions of the Tax Act will be applied or otherwise administered that is different from our interpretation.
As additional clarification and guidance is issued regarding the Tax Act, we may make adjustments to amounts that we have recorded, which may materially impact our provision for income taxes in the period in which the adjustments are made.
Various other jurisdictions including members of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development are considering changes to their tax laws including provisions intended to address base erosion and profit shifting by taxpayers.

In 2016, we received notice from an oil partner that they did not intend to renew our current contract when it expired at the end of 2017.
Additionally, in 2017, we signed an agreement to extend the management of the commercial fuel card program for a strategic partner.

On December 22, 2017, President Trump signed into law new legislation that significantly revises the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code.
The newly enacted Tax Act among other things, contains significant changes to corporate taxation, including by reducing the corporate tax rate from a top marginal rate of 35% to a flat rate of 21%, significantly limiting the tax deduction for net interest expense, limiting the deduction for post-2017 net operating losses to 80% of current year taxable income and eliminating carrybacks of such net operating losses, imposing a one-time transition tax on offshore earnings regardless of whether they are repatriated, migrating from a “worldwide” system of taxation in the direction of a territorial system (subject to certain important exceptions), allowing immediate expensing of certain new investments instead of depreciating such investments over time, modifying or repealing many business deductions and credits, and requiring the accrual of certain income for U.S. federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is taken into account as revenue on our financial statements (subject to an exception for certain income that is already subject to a special method of accounting under the Code).
We continue to examine the impact the new legislation may have on our business.
Notwithstanding the reduction in the corporate income tax rate, the overall impact of the new federal tax law is uncertain, and our business and financial condition could be adversely affected.
In addition, it is uncertain if and to what extent various states will conform to the newly enacted federal tax law.
The impact of this tax reform on holders of our common stock is also uncertain and could be adverse.

Our products are used in [removed: 56] [added: 82] countries around the world, with our primary geographies being the U.S., Brazil and the United Kingdom, which combined accounted for approximately [removed: 90%] [added: 88%] of our revenue in [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]

FLEETCOR is a global payments company primarily focused on business to business payments.
We simplify the way businesses manage and pay for expenses and operate in five categories: Fuel, Lodging, Tolls, Corporate Payments and Gift.
Our products are focused on delivering a better, more efficient way to pay, through specialized products, systems, and payment and merchant networks.
While the actual payment mechanisms vary from category to category, they are structured to afford control and reporting to the end user.
The methods of payment generally function like a charge card, prepaid card, one-time use virtual card, and electronic RFID, etc. Each category is unique in its focus, customer base and target markets, but they also share a number of characteristics.
Customers are primarily business to business, have recurring revenue models, specialized networks which create barriers to entry, have high EBITDA margins, and have similar selling systems, which can be leveraged in each business.
Results presented for 2018 reflect the impact of the Company's adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" ("Topic 606") ("ASC 606") and related cost capitalization guidance, which was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method.
The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in the classification of certain amounts previously classified as merchant commissions and processing expense net with revenues.
As a result of the application of the modified retrospective transition method, the Company's prior period results within its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q will not be restated to reflect the impact of Topic 606.
The adoption of Topic 606 had the impact of reducing revenues by approximately $112.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Such expenses were not reflected as a reduction of revenues in the 2017 and 2016 amounts presented.
This lack of comparability should be considered in reviewing the transaction analysis and the various breakdowns of revenue by geography, product and source in this discussion and analysis.

Our payment products function like a charge card or prepaid card and tend to be specialized for specific spend categories, such as fuel or lodging, and/or specific customer groups, such as long haul transportation.
FLEETCOR’s five primary product lines are Fuel, Lodging, Tolls, Corporate Payments and Gift.
We report our results from Cambridge (acquired in the third quarter of 2017) and CLS (acquired in the fourth quarter of 2017) in our North America segment.

See the heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures.” We use adjusted revenues as a basis to evaluate our revenues, net of the commissions that are paid to merchants that participate in certain of our card programs.
The commissions paid to merchants can vary when market spreads fluctuate in much the same way as revenues are impacted when market spreads fluctuate.
Thus, we believe this is a more effective way to evaluate our revenue performance on a consistent basis.
The following table provides illustrations of these three merchant payment models, which are representative of many, but not all, of our businesses.

We [removed: invest] [added: use] our excess cash either to pay down our Securitization Facility debt or [added: to invest] in securities that we believe are highly liquid and marketable in the short term.
[removed: Under our $4.325] [added: Our $4.16] billion Credit [removed: Agreement, the Credit] Agreement provides for senior secured credit facilities consisting of a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $1.285 billion, a term loan A facility in the amount of [removed: $2.690] [added: $2.53] billion and a term loan B facility in the amount of $350.0 million as of December 31, [removed: 2017.][added: 2018.]
The revolving credit facility consists of (a) a revolving A [removed: credit] facility in the amount of $800.0 million, with sublimits for letters of credit and swing line loans, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of $450.0 million [added: with multi-currency borrowings and a sub-limit] for swing line loans [removed: and multi-currency borrowings] and, (c) a revolving C facility in the amount of $35.0 million for [removed: multi-currency] borrowings in [added: U.S. Dollars,] Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars.

On January 22, 2019, we entered into three interest rate swap cash flow contracts with U.S. dollar notional amounts of $1 billion with a fixed rate of 2.56%, $500 million with a fixed rate of 2.56%, and $500 million with a fixed rate of 2.55%.
The
purpose of these contracts is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in interest payments associated with $2 billion of our variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the 1-month LIBOR benchmark interest rate.
On January 20, 2017, we entered into the second amendment to the Credit Agreement, which established a new term B loan.

Our common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “FLT.” As of December 31, [removed: 2017,] [added: 2018,] there were [removed: 146] [added: 148] holders of record of our common stock.
On February 4, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program (the "Program") under which we may [removed: begin purchasing] [added: purchase] up to an aggregate of $500 million of [removed: the outstanding] [added: our] common stock over the following 18 [removed: month] [added: months] period.
On July 27, 2017, [removed: the Company's] [added: our] Board of Directors authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $250 million and an extension of the Program by an additional 18 months.

[removed: ][added: ]
On November 1, 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized an increase in the size of the Program by an additional $350 million and on July 17, 2018, our Board of Directors authorized an additional increase of $500 million in the size of the Program.
With the increase and giving effect to our $1.5 billion of previous repurchases, we may repurchase up to $551 million in shares of our common stock at any time prior to February 1, 2020.
Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate.
The timing and amount of stock repurchases, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, and any additional constraints related to material inside information the Company may possess.
Any repurchases have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.
On August 3, 2017, as part of the Program, we entered an Accelerated Share Repurchase ("ASR") agreement ("2017 ASR Agreement") with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $250 million of our common stock.
Pursuant to the 2017 ASR Agreement, we delivered $250 million in cash and received 1,491,647 shares based on a stock price of $142.46 on August 7, 2017.
The 2017 ASR Agreement was completed on September 7, 2017, at which time we received 263,012 additional shares based on a final weighted average per share purchase price during the repurchase period of $142.48.
On December 14, 2018, as part of the Program, we entered an ASR agreement ("2018 ASR Agreement") with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $220 million of our common stock.
Pursuant to the 2018 ASR Agreement, we delivered $220 million in cash and received 1,057,035 shares based on a stock price of $176.91 on December 14, 2018.
The 2018 ASR Agreement was completed on January 29, 2019, at which time we received 117,751 additional shares based on a final weighted average per share purchase price during the repurchase period of $187.27.
We accounted for the 2017 and 2018 ASR Agreements as two separate transactions: (i) as shares of reacquired common stock for the shares delivered to us upon effectiveness of each ASR agreement and (ii) as a forward contract indexed to the our common stock for the undelivered shares.
The initial delivery of shares was included in treasury stock at cost and results in an immediate reduction of the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average common shares outstanding for basic and diluted earnings per share.
The forward contracts indexed to the Company's own common stock met the criteria for equity classification, and these amounts were initially recorded in additional paid-in capital.
There were 4,911,438 common shares totaling $958.7 million, 2,854,959 common shares totaling $402.4 million and 1,259,145 common shares totaling $187.7 million repurchased under the Program during 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the carrying amount of property and equipment and finite-life intangible assets may not be recoverable.
When factors indicate that these long-lived assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company assesses the potential impairment by determining whether the carrying amount of such long-lived assets will be recovered through the future undiscounted cash flows expected from use of the asset and its eventual disposition.
If the carrying amount of the asset is determined not to be recoverable, a write-down to fair value is recorded.
Fair values are determined based on quoted market prices or discounted cash flow analysis as applicable.
The Company regularly evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred that indicate the useful lives of property and equipment and finite-life intangible assets may warrant revision.
Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level.
Factors considered in the qualitative assessment include general macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance of our reporting units, events or changes affecting the composition or carrying amount of the net assets of our reporting units, sustained decrease in our share price, and other relevant entity-specific events.
If the Company elects to bypass the qualitative assessment or if it determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, a quantitative test would be required.
An impairment charge is
The company has elected to measure certain equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values at cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes for similar investments of the issuer.

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework (the COSO criteria).
In our opinion, FleetCor and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on the COSO criteria.
As indicated in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management’s assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of Cambridge Global Payments, Creative Lodging Solutions, and a fuel card provider in Russia (the “Acquired Entities”), which is included in the 2017 consolidated financial statements of the Company and constituted 11% of total assets as of December 31, 2017 and 3% of revenues for the year then ended.
Our audit of internal control over financial reporting of the Company also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of the Acquired Entities.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related notes and our report dated March 1, 2018 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries’ internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 2013 framework (the COSO criteria).
In our opinion, FleetCor and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2018, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, and the related notes and our report dated March 1, 2019 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In connection with management's evaluation, our management team excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, the internal controls related to three subsidiaries that we acquired during the year ended December 31, 2017, and for which financial results are included in our consolidated financial statements.
On August 9, 2017, we acquired Cambridge Global Payments (“Cambridge”), a leading business to business (B2B) international payments provider in Canada.
On September 26, 2017, we acquired a fuel card provider in Russia.
On October 13, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Creative Lodging Solutions ("CLS"), a lodging business, in the United States.
Collectively we refer to these transactions as the Acquisitions.
These Acquisitions constituted 11% of total assets, at December 31, 2017, and 3% of revenues, for the year then ended.
This exclusion was in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired business may be omitted in management's report on internal control over financial reporting the year of acquisition.
