Rewritten

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.]

[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.

Rewritten

[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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

[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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.]

Rewritten

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.

Rewritten

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.

Further, we are

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

LIBOR and certain other “benchmarks” are the subject of recent national, international and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform.

New in FY2018

These reforms may cause such benchmarks to perform differently than in the past or have other consequences which cannot be predicted.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

It is unclear whether, at that time, LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will be established.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

Any of these occurrences could materially and adversely affect our borrowing costs, business and results of operations.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

Following the discovery of suspicious activity primarily on systems involving the Company’s gift card business, the Company took prompt

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

The Company also contacted federal law enforcement and merchants known to be affected.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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).

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

On January 25, 2018, the CFPB issued a final rule amending several aspects of its prepaid accounts rule adopted in October 2016 and delayed the overall effective date for such prepaid accounts rule to April 1, 2019.

New in FY2018

BSA.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

Violations of the TCPA may be enforced by the FCC or by individuals through litigation, including class actions.

New in FY2018

Statutory penalties for TCPA violations range from $500 to $1,500 per violation, which has been interpreted to mean per phone call.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the "Tax Act") could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

Dropped from FY2017

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).

New in FY2018

FLEETCOR is a global payments company primarily focused on business to business payments.

New in FY2018

We simplify the way businesses manage and pay for expenses and operate in five categories: Fuel, Lodging, Tolls, Corporate Payments and Gift.

New in FY2018

Our products are focused on delivering a better, more efficient way to pay, through specialized products, systems, and payment and merchant networks.

New in FY2018

While the actual payment mechanisms vary from category to category, they are structured to afford control and reporting to the end user.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in the classification of certain amounts previously classified as merchant commissions and processing expense net with revenues.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

The adoption of Topic 606 had the impact of reducing revenues by approximately $112.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

New in FY2018

Such expenses were not reflected as a reduction of revenues in the 2017 and 2016 amounts presented.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

Any stock repurchases may be made at times and in such amounts as deemed appropriate.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

Any repurchases have been and are expected to be funded by a combination of available cash flow from the business, working capital and debt.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

New in FY2018

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.

| 1 Reflects 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 ASC 606 resulted in an adjustment to retained earnings in our consolidated balance sheet for the cumulative effect of applying the standard, which included costs incurred to obtain a contract, as well as presentation changes in our statements of income, including 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 Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q will not be restated to reflect ASC 606. |

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Dropped from FY2017

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.

Dropped from FY2017

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.

Dropped from FY2017

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

Dropped from FY2017

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.
