Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
342 rewritten, 653 added, 60 removed, 35 unchanged
*You should carefully consider the following [removed: risks applicable to] [added: risks* *applicable* *to] us.
[removed: If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, operating] [added: *operating] results, financial condition and the trading price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected.
[removed: The risks] [added: *risks] discussed below also include forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ substantially from [removed: those discussed in these forward-looking statements.][added: those*]
[removed: We are dependent on the efficient and uninterrupted operation of interconnected computer systems, telecommunications, data] [added: data] centers and call centers, including technology and network systems managed by multiple third parties, which [removed: could result in our inability to prevent disruptions in our services.][added: could]
Our ability to provide reliable service to customers, cardholders and other network participants depends upon uninterrupted [removed: operation of our data centers and call centers as well as third-party labor and services providers.]
[removed: Our business involves] processing large numbers of transactions, the movement of large sums of money and the management of large amounts of data.
We rely on the ability of our employees, contractors, suppliers, systems and processes to complete these transactions in a [removed: secure, uninterrupted and error-free manner.]
Our subsidiaries operate in various countries and country specific factors, such as power availability, telecommunications [removed: carrier redundancy, embargoes and regulation can adversely impact our information processing by or for our local subsidiaries.]
[removed: However, there could be material] delays in fully activating backup facilities depending on the nature of the breakdown, security breach or catastrophic event [removed: (such as fire, explosion, flood, pandemic, natural disaster, power loss, telecommunications failure or physical break-in).]
[removed: We] [added: Although, we] have controls and documented measures to mitigate these [removed: risks but] [added: risks,] these mitigating controls might not reduce the [removed: duration, scope or severity of an outage in time to avoid adverse effects.]
We may experience software defects, system errors, computer viruses and development delays, which could [removed: damage customer relationships, decrease our profitability and expose us to liability.][added: damage]
[removed: A system outage could] adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations, including by damaging our reputation or exposing us [removed: to third-party liability.]
To successfully operate our business, we must be able to protect our processing and other systems from [removed: interruption, including from events that may be beyond our control.]
[removed: Events that could cause system interruptions include, but] are not limited to, fire, natural disaster, unauthorized entry, power loss, telecommunications failure, computer viruses, terrorist [removed: acts and war.]
Although we have taken steps to protect against data loss and system failures, there is still risk that we may lose [removed: critical data or experience system failures.]
[removed: We often encounter] delays and cost overruns in developing changes implemented to our systems.
In addition, the underlying software may contain [removed: undetected errors, viruses or defects.]
[removed: Defects in our software products and errors or delays in our processing of electronic] transactions could result in additional development costs, diversion of technical and other resources from our other [removed: development efforts, loss of credibility with current or potential customers, harm to our reputation or exposure to liability claims.]
In addition, we rely on technologies supplied to us by third parties that may also contain undetected errors, viruses or [removed: defects that could adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.]
[removed: Although we attempt to limit] our [removed: potential liability for warranty claims through disclaimers in our software documentation and limitation of liability provisions in our] licenses and other agreements with our customers, we cannot assure that these measures will be successful in limiting our [removed: liability.]
We may not be able to adequately protect our systems or the data we collect from continually evolving cybersecurity risks [removed: or other technological risks, which could subject us to liability and damage our reputation.][added: or]
[removed: We electronically receive, process, store and transmit data and sensitive information about our customers and merchants,] including bank account information, social security numbers, expense [removed: data,] [added: data] and credit card, debit card and checking account [removed: numbers.]
We endeavor to keep this information confidential; however, our websites, networks, information systems, services [removed: and technologies may be targeted for sabotage, disruption or misappropriation.]
[removed: The uninterrupted operation of our information] systems and our ability to maintain the confidentiality of the customer and consumer information that resides on our systems [removed: are critical to the successful operation of our business.]
[removed: Unauthorized access to our networks and computer systems could result] in the theft or publication of confidential information or the deletion or modification of records or could otherwise cause [removed: interruptions in our service and operations.]
[removed: An] incident may not be detected until well after it occurs and the severity and potential impact may not be fully known for a [removed: substantial period of time after it has been discovered.]
[removed: Our ability to address incidents may also depend on the timing and] nature of assistance that may be provided from relevant governmental or law enforcement agencies.
[removed: Threats to] our [removed: systems and our] associated third parties’ systems can derive from human error, fraud or malice on the part of employees or third parties, or [removed: may result from accidental technological failure.]
Computer viruses can be distributed and could infiltrate our systems or those [removed: of our associated third parties.]
[removed: In addition, denial of service or other attacks could be launched against us for a variety of] purposes, including to interfere with our services or create a diversion for other malicious activities.
In addition, the risk of cyber-attacks has increased in connection with the military [removed: conflicts between Russia] and [removed: Ukraine, as well as within the Middle East, and the resulting] geopolitical [removed: conflicts.][added: conflicts around the world,]
[removed: In light of those and other geopolitical events, nation-state] actors or their supporters may launch retaliatory [removed: cyber-attacks,] [added: cyber-attacks] and may attempt to cause supply chain and other third-party [removed: service provider disruptions, or take other geopolitically motivated retaliatory actions that may disrupt our business operations, result in data compromise, or both.]
[removed: Nation-state actors have in the past carried out, and may in the future carry out, cyber-attacks] [added: attacks] to achieve their aims and goals, which may include espionage, information operations, monetary gain, ransomware, [removed: disruption, and destruction.]
We could also be subject to liability for claims relating to misuse of personal information, such as unauthorized marketing [removed: purposes and violation of data privacy laws.]
[removed: For example, we are subject to a variety of U.S. and international statutes, regulations,] [added: regulations] and rulings relevant to the direct email marketing and text-messaging industries.
[removed: 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, [removed: operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.]
[removed: We cannot provide assurance that the contractual] requirements related to security and privacy that we impose on our service providers who have access to customer and [removed: consumer data will be followed or will be adequate to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of data.]
[removed: In addition, we have] agreed in certain agreements to take certain protective measures to ensure the confidentiality of customer data.
[removed: The costs of] systems and procedures associated with such protective measures, as well as the cost of deploying additional personnel, training [removed: our employees and hiring outside experts, may increase and could adversely affect our ability to compete effectively.]
[removed: Any] failure to adequately enforce or provide these protective measures could result in liability, protracted and costly litigation, [removed: governmental and card network intervention and fines, remediation costs, and with respect to misuse of personal information of our customers, lost revenue and reputational harm.]

Other than an unauthorized access incident during the second quarter of 2018, previously disclosed in 2018, we are not aware of
any material breach of our or our associated third parties’ computer 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,
Other than a previously disclosed unauthorized access incident during the second quarter of 2018, we are not aware of any material breach of our or our associated third parties’ computer 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.
Because techniques used to sabotage or obtain unauthorized access to our systems and the data we collect change frequently and may not be recognized until launched against a target, especially considering heightened threats and risks associated with artificial intelligence, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
Although we believe we have sufficient controls in place to prevent disruption and 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.
In February 2022, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency issued a warning for American organizations noting the potential for Russia’s cyber-attacks on Ukrainian government and critical infrastructure organizations to impact organizations both within and beyond the U.S., particularly in the wake of sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies.
These circumstances increase the likelihood of cyber-attacks and/or security breaches.
While we maintain insurance covering certain security and privacy damages and claim expenses above a certain financial retention level, 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.
Adverse macroeconomic conditions within the U.S. or internationally, including but not limited to recessions, inflation, rising interest rates, labor shortages and disputes, high unemployment, currency fluctuations, actual or anticipated large-scale defaults or failures, terrorist attacks, prolonged or recurring government shutdowns, regional or domestic hostilities, economic sanctions and the prospect or occurrence or more widespread conflicts, rising energy prices, or a slowdown of global trade, and reduced consumer, small business, government, and corporate spending, have a direct impact on the demand for fuel, business-related products and services, or payment card services in general.
Similarly, prolonged adverse weather events, travel bans due to medical quarantine (such as the responses to the COVID-19 pandemic) or in response to natural catastrophes, especially those that impact regions in which we process a large number and amount of payment transactions, could adversely affect our transaction volumes.
If a customer becomes insolvent, files for bankruptcy, commits fraud or otherwise fails to pay us, we may be exposed to the value of an offsetting position with such counterparties for the derivatives or may bear financial risk for those receivables where we have offered trade credit.
Our primary competitors in Europe, Australia and New Zealand are independent fleet card providers, major oil companies and petroleum marketers that issue branded fleet cards, and providers of card outsourcing services to major oil companies and petroleum marketers.
Our primary competitors in Latin America are independent providers of fleet cards and vouchers for food, fuel, tolls, and transportation and major oil companies and providers of card outsourcing services to major oil companies and petroleum marketers who offer commercial fleet cards.
A decline in retail fuel prices or contraction in fuel price spreads could adversely affect our revenue and operating results.
The volatility is due to many factors outside our control, including new oil production or production slowdowns, supply and demand for oil and gas and market expectations of future supply and demand, merchant mix and fuel type, political conditions, actions by OPEC and other major oil producing countries, speculative trading, government regulation, weather and general economic conditions.
When such volatility leads to a decline in retail fuel prices or a contraction of fuel price spreads, our revenue and operating results could be adversely affected.
As a result, the success of these solutions is in part dependent on our ability to maintain relationships with major oil companies, petroleum marketers, closed-loop fuel and lodging merchants, truck stop operators, airlines, sales channels, and other channels and partnerships (each of whom we refer to as our “partners”) and to enter into additional relationships or expand existing arrangements to increase the acceptability of our payment solutions.
In our Cross-Border solution, we facilitate payment and foreign exchange solutions, primarily cross-border, cross-currency transactions, for small and medium size enterprises and other organizations.
Any factors that increase the cost of cross-border trade for us or our customers or that restrict, delay, or make cross-border trade more difficult or impractical, such as trade policy (including restrictions arising out of the Russian and Ukrainian conflict or the Middle East conflict) or higher tariffs, could negatively impact our revenues and harm our business.
If one of our counterparty financial institutions were to become insolvent, placed into receivership, or file for bankruptcy, our ability to recover losses incurred as a result of default or to access or recover our assets that are deposited, held in accounts with, or otherwise due from, such counterparty may be limited due to the insufficiency of the failed institutions’ estate to satisfy all claims in full or the applicable laws or regulations governing the insolvency, bankruptcy, or resolution proceedings.
As a result of our foreign operations, we are subject to risks related to changes in currency rates for revenue generated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.
In addition, international acquisitions often involve additional or increased risks including difficulty managing geographically separated organizations, systems and facilities, difficulty integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds, languages and organizational cultures, difficulty and expense introducing our corporate policies or controls and increased expense to comply with foreign regulatory requirements applicable to acquisitions.
Further, an acquisition may negatively affect our operating results because it may require us to incur charges and substantial debt or other liabilities, may cause adverse tax consequences, substantial depreciation and amortization or deferred compensation charges, may require the amortization, write-down or impairment of amounts related to deferred compensation, goodwill and other intangible assets, may include substantial contingent consideration payments or other compensation that reduce our earnings during the quarter in which incurred, or may not generate sufficient financial return to offset acquisition costs.
Our business in foreign countries may be adversely affected by operational and political risks that are greater than in the U.S.
Some of the countries where we operate, and other countries where we will seek to operate, such as Brazil and Mexico, have undergone significant political, economic and social change in recent years, and the risk of unforeseen changes in these countries may be greater than in the U.S. In addition, changes in laws or regulations, including with respect to payment service providers, taxation, information technology, data transmission and the internet, revenues from non-U.S. operations or in the interpretation of existing laws or regulations, whether caused by a change in government or otherwise, could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
The current military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, as well as within the Middle East, are creating substantial uncertainty about the global economy in the future.
Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and within the Middle East are highly unpredictable, these conflicts could lead to significant market and other disruptions.
We have recently exited the Russia market via the disposition of our Russia business, which closed in the third quarter of 2023.
Additionally, we do not have operations in Israel or Gaza.
We cannot predict how and the extent to which these conflicts will affect our customers, operations or business partners or the demand for our products and our global business.
In response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the U.S., the European Union, the U.K. and other governments have imposed sanctions and other restrictive measures.
Such sanctions, and other measures, as well as countersanctions or other responses from Russia or other countries have adversely affected, and will adversely affect, the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations or otherwise aggravate the other risk factors that we identify herein.
Depending on the actions we take or are required to take, the ongoing conflicts could also result in loss of cash, assets or impairment charges.
Additionally, we may also face negative publicity and reputational risk based on the actions we take or are required to take as a result of these conflicts, which could damage our brand image or corporate reputation.
The extent of the impact of these tragic events on our business remains uncertain and will continue to depend on numerous evolving factors that we are not able to accurately predict, including the extent, severity, duration and outcome of these conflicts.
The extent, severity, duration and outcome of these military conflicts, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and our business for an unknown period of time.
Further, operating in international markets requires significant management attention and financial resources.
Other Financial Risks
The restatement of our 2023 quarterly financial statements may affect investor confidence and raise reputational issues and may subject us to additional risks and uncertainties, including increased professional costs and the increased possibility of legal proceedings and regulatory inquiries.
As discussed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we determined to restate our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 after the Company determined that there were errors related to the accounting for certain balance sheet accounts.
As a result of these errors and the resulting restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the impacted periods, we have incurred, and may continue to incur, unanticipated costs for accounting and legal fees in connection with or related to the restatement, and have become subject to a number of additional risks and uncertainties, including the increased possibility of litigation and regulatory inquiries.
Any of the foregoing may affect investor confidence in the accuracy of our financial disclosures and may raise reputational risks for our business, both of which could harm our business and financial results.

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with [removed: the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report.]
[removed: In addition to historical information,] this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual [removed: results to differ materially from management’s expectations.]

[removed: This often results in wasted time and money due to] unnecessary or unauthorized spending, fraud, receipt collection, data input and consolidation, report generation, reimbursement [removed: processing, account reconciliations, employee disciplinary actions, and more.]
[removed: FLEETCOR’s] [added: Corpay’s] vision is that every payment is digital, every purchase is [removed: controlled,] [added: controlled] and every related decision is informed.
[removed: Digital] payments are faster and more secure than paper-based methods such as [removed: checks,] [added: checks] and provide timely and detailed data that can be [removed: utilized to effectively reduce unauthorized purchases and fraud, automate data entry and reporting, and eliminate reimbursement processes.]
Combining this payment data with analytical tools delivers [removed: powerful] insights, which managers can use to better run their [removed: businesses.]

Since its incorporation in 2000, FLEETCOR’s smarter payment and spend management solutions have been delivered in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the customer.

FLEETCOR has been a member of the S&P 500 since 2018 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker FLT.
We expect to rebrand FLEETCOR to Corpay, Inc. in March 2024, including changing our New York Stock Exchange ticker from FLT to CPAY.
Impact of Geo-Political Events on Our Business
The current military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine, as well as within the Middle East, continue to create substantial uncertainty about the global economy in the future.
Although the length, impact and outcome of the ongoing military conflicts between Russia and Ukraine and within the Middle East are highly unpredictable, these conflicts could lead to significant market and other disruptions.
We recently exited the Russia market via the disposition of our Russia business, which closed in the third quarter of 2023 (see "Russia Disposition" section below), and we do not have material operations in Israel or Gaza.
We cannot predict how and the extent to which these conflicts will affect our customers, operations or business partners or the demand for our products and our global business.
We are actively monitoring the situations and assessing the impact on our business.
The extent, severity, duration and outcome of the military conflicts, sanctions and resulting market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and our business for an unknown period of time.
During the second quarter of 2023, we signed definitive documents to sell our Russia business to a third party.
At June 30, 2023, we concluded that the sale was not considered probable due to continued uncertainty regarding regulatory approvals and ongoing discussions regarding the nature and timing of deal completion.
As such, the assets and liabilities associated with our Russian business were not classified as held for sale prior to the completion of the transaction.
The Russia business was historically reported within our Vehicle Payments segment and did not meet the criteria to be presented as discontinued operations.
In connection with the sale, we recorded a net gain on disposal of $13.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, which represents the proceeds received less the derecognition of the related net assets, the reclassification of accumulated foreign currency translation losses, and the foreign exchange loss upon conversion of the ruble-denominated proceeds to U.S. dollars.
The net gain is included within other (income) expense, net in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.
Our assets in Russia were approximately 3.2% of our consolidated assets at December 31, 2022.

We provide our payment solutions to our business, merchant, consumer and payment network customers in more than 150 countries around the world today, although we operate primarily in three geographies, with approximately 83% of our business in the U.S., Brazil, and the U.K. Our customers may include commercial businesses (obtained through direct and indirect channels) and partners for whom we manage payment programs, as well as individual consumers.
In the fourth quarter of 2023, in order to align with recent changes in our strategy and resulting organizational structure and management reporting, we updated our segment structure.
The presentation of segment information has been recast for the prior years to align with this segment presentation for 2023.

Our international businesses expose us to foreign currency exchange rate changes that can impact translations of [removed: foreign-denominated assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars and future earnings and cash flows from transactions denominated in different currencies.][added: foreign-]
Revenues from our international businesses were [removed: 43.2%] [added: 47.7%] and [removed: 38.9%] [added: 45.6%] of total revenues for the years ended [removed: December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.]
We measure foreign currency exchange risk based on changes in foreign currency [removed: exchange rates using a sensitivity analysis.]
The sensitivity analysis measures the potential change in earnings based on a [removed: hypothetical 10% change in currency exchange rates.]
[removed: Such analysis indicated that a hypothetical 10% change in foreign] currency exchange rates would have increased or decreased consolidated operating income during the year ended December 31, [removed: 2023 by approximately $86.0 million had the U.S. dollar exchange rate increased or decreased relative to the currencies to which we had exposure.]
With our cross-border payment solutions, we have additional foreign exchange risk and associated foreign exchange risk [removed: management requirements due to the nature of our cross-border payments provider business.]
[removed: The majority of cross-border] payments revenue is from exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enable customers to make cross-currency payments.
[removed: In our] cross-border payment solutions, we also write foreign currency forward and option contracts for customers to facilitate future [removed: payments.]
[removed: We aggregate foreign exchange exposures arising from customer contracts, including the derivative contracts described above, and hedge (economic] hedge) the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with established financial institution counterparties.
We are exposed to the risk of changing interest rates on our cash investments and on the unhedged portion of our variable rate [removed: debt.]
As of December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024] and [removed: 2022,] [added: 2023,] we had [removed: $5.4] [added: $6.7] billion and [removed: $5.7] [added: $5.4] billion, respectively, of variable rate debt outstanding [removed: under our Credit Agreement.]
[removed: As of] December 31, [removed: 2023,] [added: 2024,] we had a number of receive-variable SOFR, pay-fixed interest rate swap derivative contracts with a [removed: cumulative notional U.S. dollar value of $4.0 billion.]
[removed: The objective of these contracts is to reduce the variability of cash flows] in the previously unhedged interest payments associated with variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in [removed: SOFR benchmark interest rate.]
We determined these amounts by considering the impact of the [removed: hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing costs.]
These analyses do not consider the effects of changes in the level of overall [removed: economic activity that could exist in such an environment.]
[removed: Our fleet] [added: A majority of our Vehicle Payments] customers use our products and services [removed: primarily] in connection with the purchase of fuel.
[removed: A decline in retail fuel prices] could cause a change in our revenue from several sources, including fees paid to us based on a percentage of each customer’s [removed: total purchase.]
Changes in the absolute price of fuel may also impact unpaid account balances and the late fees and charges [removed: based on these amounts.]
[removed: The impact of changes in] fuel [removed: price] [added: spreads] is somewhat mitigated by our agreements with certain merchants, where the price paid to the merchant is equal to [removed: the lesser of the merchant’s cost plus a markup or a percentage of the transaction purchase price.]
From our merchant and network relationships, we derive revenue from the difference between the price charged to a fleet [removed: customer for a transaction and the price paid to the merchant or network for the same transaction.]
[removed: For certain of our payment] products, the price paid to a merchant or network is calculated as the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel plus a markup.
[removed: The] merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel is dependent on several factors including, among others, the factors described above affecting [removed: fuel prices.]
[removed: We experience fuel price spread contraction] when the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel increases at a faster rate than the fuel price we charge to our customers, or the fuel [removed: price we charge to our customers decreases at a faster rate than the merchant’s wholesale cost of fuel.]
[removed: Accordingly, if fuel price] spreads contract, we may generate less revenue, which could adversely affect our operating results.
The impact of [removed: volatility] [added: changes] in fuel [removed: spreads] [added: price] is somewhat mitigated by our agreements with certain merchants, [removed: where the price paid to the merchant is equal to cost plus a markup or a percentage of the transaction purchase price.]

[removed: FLEETCOR is a global payments company that] helps businesses and consumers better [removed: manager] [added: manage and pay] their expenses.
[removed: FLEETCOR's suite of modern payment solutions help] customers better manage vehicle-related expenses [removed: (e.g.] [added: (e.g.,] fueling, [removed: tolls] [added: tolls, car registrations] and parking), lodging expenses [removed: (e.g. hotel bookings) and corporate payments (e.g. domestic and international vendors).][added: (e.g.,]
[removed: From physical] [added: delivered] payment [removed: cards to software that includes customizable] [added: and spend solutions with customized] controls and robust [removed: payment capabilities, we provide] [added: capabilities that offer] our customers [removed: with] a better way to [removed: pay.]
Businesses spend an estimated [removed: $135] [added: $145] trillion each year in transactions with other businesses.
[removed: In many instances, businesses lack] the proper tools to monitor what is being [removed: purchased,] [added: purchased] and employ manual, paper-based, disparate processes and methods to both [removed: approve and make payments for their business-to-business purchases.]
Digital payments are faster and more secure than paper-based methods such as checks, [removed: and] provide timely and detailed data that can [removed: be utilized to effectively reduce unauthorized purchases and fraud, automate data entry and reporting, and eliminate reimbursement processes.]
Combining this payment data with analytical tools delivers powerful insights, which managers can use [removed: to better run their businesses.]
[removed: FLEETCOR’s] [added: Corpay’s] vision is that every payment is digital, every purchase is [removed: controlled,] [added: controlled] and every related decision is informed.
[removed: Our wide range of modern, digitized solutions provide control, reporting, and automation benefits superior to many of the payment] methods businesses often use such as cash, paper checks, general purpose credit cards, as well as employee [removed: pay and reclaim] [added: payment] processes.
In addition to delivering meaningful value to our customers, our solutions also share several important and attractive business [removed: model characteristics such as:]
- the majority of revenue is derived primarily from business customers, which tend to have relatively predictable, [removed: consistent volumes;]
- [removed: similar] [added: unique] selling systems with common sales approaches, management and reporting;
- specialized technology platforms and proprietary payment acceptance networks, which create competitive advantages [removed: and barriers to entry; and]
[removed: We actively] market [removed: and sell to current and prospective customers leveraging a multi-channel, go-to-market approach, which] [added: strategy] includes comprehensive digital channels, direct sales forces and strategic partner relationships.
[removed: We sell stand-alone products] and [removed: services, and] are currently [removed: organizing and establishing] [added: deploying] platforms where a single customer can use multiple products from one user interface.
[removed: It is important] to note that we compete mostly with legacy payment [removed: methods] [added: companies] and traditional ways of paying, such as cash and checks.
[removed: We] supplement our organic growth strategy and sales efforts by pursuing attractive acquisition opportunities, which serve to [removed: strengthen and extend our market positions and create value faster.]
[removed: FLEETCOR] [added: Corpay] has the following reportable segments: Vehicle Payments, Corporate Payments, Lodging Payments and Other.
[removed: We report these] segments [removed: as they] reflect how we organize and manage our global employee base, manage operating [removed: performance,] [added: performance and] execute on [removed: strategic initiatives and contemplate the differing regulatory environments across geographies and solutions.]
Our Vehicle Payments solutions help control and monitor [removed: employee] spending [removed: while in the field or in a vehicle] and include [removed: fuel,] [added: fuel card offerings,] tolls [removed: and other complementary products.]
[removed: Our Corporate Payments solutions simplify and automate vendor payments and include] accounts payable (AP) automation, virtual cards, [removed: cross-border,] [added: cross-border payments] and purchasing and travel and entertainment [removed: (T&E) card products.][added: ("T&E")]
Our Lodging Payments solutions help businesses manage their lodging costs, while simplifying the management [removed: offerings from hotels, to longer term housing arrangements, while also providing traveler and end customer support.]
[removed: For our business] customers, we also provide greater control and visibility of spending when compared with less specialized payment methods, [removed: such as cash or general-purpose credit cards.]
[removed: Our digital enabled solutions provide customers with significant control] capabilities such as, customizable user-level controls, programmable [removed: alerts,] [added: alerts] and detailed transaction reporting.
[removed: Furthermore, our] business customers can use the data, controls and tools to combat employee misuse and fraud, streamline expense [removed: administration and potentially lower their operating costs, accessible through sophisticated web portals and mobile applications.]
[removed: For our consumer customers, our Vehicle Payment solutions provide seamless, mobile first digital experience when paying for] certain vehicle related expenses, removing the friction associated with alternative payment methods and having to use multiple [removed: service providers.]
[removed: In our] proprietary networks, which tend to be geographically distinct and unique to the markets we serve, transactions are processed [removed: on applications and operating systems owned and operated by us, and only at select participating merchants with whom we have contracted directly for acceptance.]
[removed: These proprietary networks generally provide us with better economics, as we control] more of the transaction, and richer data because of how the networks and point of sale software are configured.
[removed: Third-party] networks are operated by independent parties, [added: such as MasterCard] and [added: VISA, and] tend to be more broadly accepted, which is [removed: the primary benefit compared with our proprietary networks.]
Fuel – Our fuel solutions are used by customers to pay and control spending for fuel for vehicles and [removed: fleets, Our fuel solutions are fuel type agnostic, regardless of fuel type (fossil fuel, electricity, etc.).][added: fleets.]
We offer fuel solutions to businesses and government entities who operate [removed: vehicle fleets, as well as to consumers primarily in Brazil, Mexico and Europe.]
[removed: At the most basic level, we provide the measurement of fuel used and facilitate the payment for that fuel to the merchant, whether that fuel be diesel, gasoline,] compressed natural [removed: gas,] [added: gas] or electricity, while also providing online control, reporting and tracking capabilities to fleet operators.
In many cases we can also deliver fuel price savings to our business customers when compared to the retail [removed: (board)] price of [removed: fuel, and in Europe especially, we also enable fleets to significantly streamline the VAT reclaim process by digitizing and itemizing fuel receipts in a way that is compliant with tax authority requirements.][added: fuel.]
The measurement, control and payment needs of our customers operating electric vehicles (EV) are similar to those operating [removed: traditional, internal combustion vehicles, just centered around electricity usage instead of gas or diesel usage.]
[removed: Considering the increased] complexity of managing a mixed or an all EV fleet, our product sets are positioned to remain valuable and capture transaction [removed: economics, regardless of the vehicle type or propulsion method.]
[removed: We have also enhanced our customer platforms and reporting] capabilities to ensure a fully integrated mixed fleet experience for our customers, so they can capture and review all the relevant [removed: fleet insights in one place, eliminating the need to select alternative providers for different fuel types or manage disparate systems.]
[removed: Many of our solutions also have additional capabilities, where we can enable the fuel card to allow customers to] purchase a limited set of non-fuel items, such as oil, tolls, parking and vehicle maintenance supplies.
[removed: Our EV home-charging software solution is aimed at fleets that need to accurately reimburse drivers for] charging that takes place at home for business purposes, capturing, measuring and accurately pricing relevant charging sessions [removed: and is directly integrated with energy companies to facilitate direct payment, thus bypassing the home energy account.]
[removed: We are] actively expanding our EV footprint to accommodate charging in the U.S., U.K. and Europe.
[removed: We also provide program management services to major oil companies, leasing companies and fuel marketers, which allow] these partners to outsource the sales, marketing, credit, [removed: service,] [added: service] and system operations of their branded fuel card portfolios.

We expect to rebrand FLEETCOR to Corpay, Inc. in March 2024, including changing our New York Stock Exchange ticker from FLT to CPAY.
This often results in wasted time and money due to unnecessary or unauthorized spending, fraud, receipt collection, data input and consolidation, report generation, reimbursement processing, account reconciliations, employee disciplinary actions, and more.
With a long, proven operating history, FLEETCOR now serves hundreds of thousands of customers with millions of cardholders making payments to millions of vendors around the world.
Mastercard and VISA are our primary third-party network partners.
As we help our customers manage through the transition to EVs, many will operate mixed fleets for a long period of time, and will need access to all modalities of fueling, including networks of fuel stations, electric charging stations both on the road and at the office, in addition to at-home charging options.
Our proprietary EV networks in the U.K. and western Europe, combined with our Mastercard network in the U.S., offer access to hundreds of thousands of charge points and the management of at-home charging, while also delivering additional value-added services through a mobile app, including the ability to locate and route to a charge-point, charge-point speed, functionality and whether in use.
Long-Haul Transportation Services – In addition to, and often in conjunction with our fuel solutions, we provide trucking companies in North America with various solutions and services relevant to their industry including road tax compliance analysis and reporting, permit procurement and cash movement and disbursement.
Our Corporate Payments solutions are designed to help businesses streamline the back-office operations associated with making outgoing payments to vendors.
Our capabilities are also offered through indirect sales channels (e.g., major oil companies and fuel marketers for fuel, and retail establishments for tolls) and on a branded or “white label” basis, indirectly through a broad range of resellers and partners across most of our solutions.
We maintain disaster recovery and business continuity plans, which benefited us during the COVID-19 pandemic and continue to benefit us.
Regulatory
Many states exercise authority over the operations related to money transmission and payment instruments and, as part of this authority, subject us to periodic examinations, which may include a review of our compliance practices, policies and procedures, financial position and related records, privacy and data security policies and procedures, and other matters related to our business.
As a licensee, we are subject to certain restrictions and requirements, including net worth and surety bond requirements, record keeping and reporting requirements, requirements for regulatory approval of controlling stockholders or direct and indirect changes of control of the licensee and certain other corporate events, and requirements to maintain certain levels of permissible investments in an amount equal to our outstanding payment obligations.
We provide services that are subject to various state, federal, and foreign privacy and information security laws and regulations including, among others, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and its Network and Information Security (NIS) Directive, the U.K.'s GDPR and NIS Regulations, Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, Brazil’s General Data Protection Law, and China's Personal Information Protection Law.
We use email marketing and text-messaging to reach out to current or potential customers and therefore are subject to various statutes, regulations, and rulings, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act (CAN-SPAM Act) and related Federal Communication Commission (FCC) orders.
All persons engaged in commerce, including, but not limited to, us and our bank sponsors and customers, are subject to regulatory enforcement by the FTC, under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, and state attorneys general, under various consumer-protection statutes, prohibiting unfair or deceptive acts or practices, and certain products also are subject to the jurisdiction of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) regarding the prohibition of unfair, deceptive, or abusive acts and practices.
We are also subject to certain economic and trade sanctions programs that are administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) that prohibit or restrict transactions to or from or dealings with specified countries, their governments and, in certain circumstances, their nationals, narcotics traffickers, and terrorists or terrorist organizations.
In connection with certain services we provide for payment cards bearing the Mastercard brand, and to those acting as merchants accepting those cards, we must comply with the bylaws, regulations and requirements that are promulgated by Mastercard and other applicable payment-card organizations, including the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), the Mastercard Site Data Protection Program (SDP) and other applicable data-security program requirements.
We may be subject to unclaimed or abandoned property (escheat) laws in the U.S. that require us to turn over to certain government authorities the property of others that we hold that has been unclaimed for a specified period of time, such as payment instruments that have not been presented for payment and account balances that are due to a customer following discontinuation of our relationship.
Rules adopted under the Dodd-Frank Act by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), provisions of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation and its technical standards, as well as derivative reporting in Canada and the U.S., have subjected certain of the foreign exchange derivative contracts we offer to our customers as part of our cross-border payments business to reporting, recordkeeping, and other requirements.
As of December 31, 2023, FLEETCOR employed approximately 10,500 associates located in more than 21 countries around the world, with approximately 4,100 of those associates based in the U.S. At FLEETCOR, we strongly believe that talent is a strong determinant of the Company’s performance and success.
Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging
Our focus on diversity, inclusion and belonging (DIB) is part of our successful “One FLEETCOR” culture.
Fostering a culturally diverse and inclusive environment and creating a true sense of belonging are among our top priorities.
The ERGs also provide FLEETCOR with perspectives on the unique needs and lived experiences of those who are traditionally underrepresented.
During the year, we offered free, online fitness classes, sponsored the FLEETCOR Wellbeing
We published a 2021 CRS Report in January 2022, which contains information incremental to our inaugural report and is therefore intended to be read in conjunction with that report.
We are currently preparing our third CRS Report for publication later this year.

EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“Form 10-K”) includes the restatement of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023 (the “Restated Periods”).
The Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, in consultation with the Company's management, concluded that the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures for the Restated Periods should no longer be relied upon related to the specific errors contained in such interim financial statements.
As disclosed in Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Form 10-K, we are restating the Restated Periods to correct errors pertaining only to our balance sheets (and the related effects on the statements of cash flows) related to (1) the recognition of certain cash balances as restricted cash and customer deposits held in custodial accounts for the benefit of (FBO) customers entered into in the first quarter of 2023 based on the Company's determination that it exercises control over such funds and (2) a correction to the Company's accounts receivable and accounts payable balances related to an incorrect classification of certain unbilled accounts receivable balances.
As disclosed in Item 9A, as of December 31, 2023, management has determined that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting due to the existence of certain material weaknesses.
Management also concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023 due to the existence of the material weaknesses.
For additional information, see Item 9A of this Form 10-K.
We have not filed and do not intend to file amendments to our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the Restated Periods.
2023 comparative amounts presented in our 2024 Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q will be changed retrospectively to reflect the restatement.
Accordingly, investors should rely only on the financial information and other disclosures regarding the Restated Periods in this Form 10-K or in future filings with the SEC (as applicable), and not on any previously issued or filed reports, earnings releases or similar communications relating to the Restated Periods.
The impact of the restatement on the Restated Periods is described in Note 20 to our audited financial statements included in this Form 10-K.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY
Risk Management and Strategy
We are subject to cybersecurity incidents and information theft risks in our operations, which we seek to manage through
cybersecurity and information security programs, training and insurance coverage.
To strengthen our security and cybersecurity
defenses, we maintain a defensive approach to cybersecurity and information security designed to defend our systems against
misuse, intrusions and cyberattacks and to protect the data we collect.
Our processes to assess, identify and manage material
risks from cybersecurity threats are strategically integrated into our overall risk management framework, as evidenced by
annual risk assessments and required trainings across business lines and applications.
Our information security program
maintains procedures and controls for the systems, applications and our data and data of our third-party providers.
We have an
established cybersecurity training program which is administered through online learning modules and is required for all
employees at least annually.
Such trainings cover topics such as password protection, phishing, the protection of confidential
information and asset security, among others and educate employees on mechanisms in place to report cybersecurity incidents
or suspicions of cybersecurity incidents or threats.
Further, we maintain a cybersecurity incident response plan, which is
managed by our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and is reviewed and tested annually.
The incident response process
is overseen by a security operations and cybersecurity incident response team comprised of members across the organization,
including global management and IT operations and leverages an organizational-wide platform that allows us to track, manage
and resolve information security risks across the organization.
Our information security program is designed to generally align with recommended practices in security standards issued by the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA, SSAE18),
National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), Payment Card Industry Data Security
Standard (PCI DSS) and other industry sources.
Specifically, we strive to maintain ISO certifications (ISO 27001 Brazil and
U.K.), SOC 1 and 2 Type 2 reports and PCI DSS reports on compliance to adhere to industry standard practices.
Our newly acquired businesses operate with independent cybersecurity programs and processes, which may vary in scope and
complexity compared to our overarching cybersecurity framework, until they are fully integrated into our unified system.
As part of our overall risk mitigation strategy, we also maintain cybersecurity insurance coverage; however, such insurance may

years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial

Company at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

| | | Valuation of acquired customer relationship intangible assets |
| *Description of* *the Matter* | | As discussed in Notes 2 and 7 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed the acquisitions of Paymerang and GPS Capital Markets, LLC (GPS) for total estimated purchase consideration of $179.2 million and $576.2 million, respectively. The acquisitions were accounted for as business combinations. The Company recorded intangible assets from these acquisitions, including customer and vendor relationships of $542.3 million. The Company used the excess earnings method to estimate the preliminary fair values of the customer relationships, which were based on management’s estimates and assumptions. Auditing the preliminary fair values of the Paymerang and GPS customer relationships was complex and subjective due to the estimation uncertainty in determining customer attrition rates which had a significant impact on the estimated fair values. The customer attrition rates are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions. |
| *How We* *Addressed the* *Matter in Our* *Audit* | | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the valuation of customer relationships, including controls over models to estimate the fair values of the above identified intangible assets and management’s review of the significant assumptions discussed above. To test the estimated fair values of the customer relationships, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Company’s selection of the valuation methodologies, testing the significant assumptions, and testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data. With the assistance of our valuation specialists, we assessed the methodologies used by the Company and evaluated the customer attrition rates used within the valuation models. This included understanding and validating the source information underlying the determination of the attrition rates and testing the mathematical accuracy of the calculations. We also performed sensitivity analyses to evaluate the changes in the fair value of the intangible assets that would result from changes in customer attrition rates, and we compared the preliminary fair values of customer relationships relative to the purchase price to publicly available comparable transactions. |

Since its incorporation in 2000, FLEETCOR’s smarter payment and spend management solutions have been delivered in a variety of ways depending on the needs of the customer.
From physical payment cards to software that includes customizable controls and robust payment capabilities, FLEETCOR provides businesses and consumers with a better way to pay.
We expect to rebrand FLEETCOR to Corpay, Inc. in March 2024, including changing our New York Stock Exchange ticker from FLT to CPAY.

Acquired technologies are generally valued using the replacement cost method, which requires us to estimate the costs to construct an asset of equivalent utility at prices available at the time of the valuation analysis, with adjustments in value for physical deterioration and functional and economic obsolescence.
Estimates critical to the Company’s evaluation of goodwill for impairment include the discount rates, forecasts for revenues, net and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin.
Based on the goodwill asset impairment analysis performed qualitatively and/or quantitatively as of October 1, 2023, the Company determined that the fair value of each of its reporting units was in excess of the carrying value.
Restricted cash represents a) customer deposits repayable on demand held in certain geographies with legal restrictions contractually set aside to fulfill payment obligations on a customer's behalf, b) collateral received from customers for cross-currency transactions in our cross-border payments business, which are restricted from use other than to repay customer deposits and secure and settle cross-currency transactions, and c) collateral posted with banks for hedging positions in our cross-border payments business.
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company disposed of its Russian net assets, including its cash balances.
Based on our assessment of the capital market conditions and related impact on our access to cash prior to the Russia disposition, we had classified all cash held at our Russia business of $215.8 million at December 31, 2022 to restricted cash.

The Company also utilizes cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as a net investment hedge of its investments in euro-denominated operations, which effectively converts a specified U.S. dollar notional equivalent to an obligation denominated in euro, and partially offsets the impact of changes in currency rates on the Company's euro-denominated net investments.

ITEM 9A.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting
(as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act), pursuant to Rule 13a-15(c) of the Exchange Act.
Our
internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of
records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii)
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with
authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over
financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the
Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a
combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material
misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As of
December 31, 2024, we identified the following material weakness in internal controls:
(1) A material weakness in internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) in
the area of user access management over certain information technology systems used in the execution of controls that
support the Company’s financial reporting processes.
Our business process application and manual controls that are
dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted.
We
believe that these control deficiencies were the result of challenges in the prior year implementation of technology
aimed to automate the user access review process.
Specifically, these deficiencies pertained to the completeness and
accuracy of data used in the automated solution and in existing manual user access control processes that lacked
sufficient documentation and formality, as well as insufficient training of information technology personnel
responsible for the execution and documentation of ITGCs.
The material weakness did not result in any identified
misstatements to the financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
Based on this material weakness, the Company’s management concluded that at December 31, 2024, the Company’s internal
control over financial reporting was not effective.

Risk Management and Strategy
The Company is subject to cyber-attacks and information theft risks in our operations, which we seek to manage through cyber and information security programs, training, and insurance coverage.
To strengthen our security and cyber defenses, we maintain a defensive approach to cyber and information security designed to defend our systems against misuse, intrusions, and cyberattacks and to protect the data we collect.
The Company's processes to assess, identify and manage material risks from cybersecurity threats are strategically integrated into the Company's overall risk management framework, as evidenced by annual risk assessments and required trainings across business lines and applications.
The Company’s information security program maintains procedures and controls for the systems, applications, and data of the Company and of its third-party providers.
The Company has an established cybersecurity training program which is administered through online learning modules and is required for all employees at least annually.
Such trainings cover topics such as password protection, phishing, the protection of confidential information and asset security, among others, and educate employees on mechanisms in place to report cyber-related incidents or suspicions of cybersecurity threats.
Further, the Company maintains a cybersecurity incident response plan, which is managed by the Company's chief information security officer and is reviewed and tested annually.
The incident response process is overseen by a security operations and cybersecurity incident response team comprised of members across the organization, including global management and IT operations and leverages an organizational-wide self-service platform that allows the Company to track, manage and resolve information security risks across the organization.
Our information security program is designed to generally align with recommended practices in security standards issued by ISO, AICPA (SSAE18), National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) and other industry sources.
Specifically, we strive to maintain ISO certifications (ISO 27001 Brazil and U.K.), SOC 1 and 2 Type 2 reports and PCI DSS reports on compliance to adhere to industry standard practices.
Our newly acquired businesses maintain separate cybersecurity programs and processes that may differ in scope and complexity from the Company’s overall cybersecurity programs and processes.
As part of our overall risk mitigation strategy, the Company also maintains cyber insurance coverage; however, such insurance may not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to security breaches, cyberattacks and other related breaches.
We have not identified any cybersecurity threats that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of our operations, or financial condition.
However, we have been the target of cyber-attacks and expect them to continue as cybersecurity threats have been rapidly evolving in sophistication and becoming more prevalent in the industry.
We cannot eliminate all risks from cybersecurity threats or provide assurances that we have not experienced an undetected cybersecurity incident in the past or that we will not experience such an incident in the future.
For more information on the risks from cybersecurity threats that we face, refer to Part I, “Item 1A.
Risk Factors.”
*Use of Third-Parties*
To regularly assess whether our cybersecurity strategies and processes remain appropriate to prevent, investigate and address cyber-related issues, the Company engages with information security and forensics firms with specialized industry knowledge.
Our collaboration with these third parties includes the administration of third-party security questionnaires, risk assessments and testing, and consultation on security enhancements to attempt to mitigate threats.
We also collaborate with third parties, regulators, and law enforcement, when appropriate, to resolve security incidents and assist in efforts to prevent unauthorized access to our processing systems.
In order to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated our use of third-party service providers, we maintain a risk management program designed to help protect against the misuse of information technology.
In addition to risk assessments and questionnaires obtained upon selection of a new service provider, we also perform annual third-party risk assessments to ensure these service providers continue to meet contractual obligations for cybersecurity, regulatory and industry requirements.
Governance
The Board of Directors oversees the Company’s information security and risk management program.
To support effective governance in managing risks related to cybersecurity, the Board has established an information technology and security committee.
*Board of Directors Oversight*
The information technology and security committee is responsible for providing oversight and leadership for our information technology security and cybersecurity, planning processes, policies and objectives.
The information technology and security committee is composed of board members with both industry knowledge as well as expertise in technology and security, finance and risk management.
The primary purpose of the committee is to review, assess and make recommendations regarding the long-term strategy for global information security and the evolution of our technology in a competitive environment.
To accomplish this purpose, the information technology and security committee has five primary responsibilities:
- understanding the security controls and assessments conducted on our major payment platforms and comparing them to industry best practices;
- evaluating strategies to protect our intellectual property;
- assessing opportunities to update our processing platform strategies to ensure the long term use of our resources;
- reviewing progress on significant IT security and cybersecurity projects and evaluating effectiveness of projects; and
- overseeing our disaster recovery and business continuity plans.
*Management's Role*
The Board and the information technology and security committee directed the formation of a cross-functional cybersecurity council at the Company, and receive regular cybersecurity reports from the global CIO, the corporate CIO and the chief information security officer (CISO), among others.
These reports include updates on the Company’s cybersecurity strategy and execution of its processes, including updates on procedures to prepare for, prevent, detect, respond to and recover from (as applicable) cyber incidents.

Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company, and (iii) 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.
Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness for 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.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, we assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As of December 31, 2023, we identified the following material weaknesses in internal controls:
(1) A material weakness in internal control related to ineffective information technology general controls (ITGCs) in the area of user access management over certain information technology systems used in the execution of controls that support the Company’s financial reporting processes.
Our business process application and manual controls that are dependent on the affected ITGCs were also deemed ineffective because they could have been adversely impacted.
We believe that these control deficiencies were the result of challenges in the current year implementation of technology aimed to automate the user access review process.
Specifically, these deficiencies pertained to the completeness and accuracy of data used in the automated solution and in existing manual user access control processes that lacked sufficient documentation and formality, as well as insufficient training of information technology personnel responsible for the execution and documentation of ITGCs.
The material weakness did not result in any identified misstatements to the financial statements, and there were no changes to previously released financial results.
(2) A material weakness resulting from ineffective controls over the application of U.S. GAAP guidance related to the balance sheet recognition of customer funds held for the benefit of others leading to the restatement of previously issued 2023 interim consolidated financial statements as further discussed within note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Based on these material weaknesses, the Company’s management concluded that at December 31, 2023, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP has issued an adverse audit report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, which appears in Item 9A of this Annual Report.
As a result of the identification of the material weaknesses, and prior to filing this Annual Report, we performed further analysis and completed additional procedures intended to ensure our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Based on these procedures and analysis, and notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our management has concluded that our consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in this Annual Report have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have certified that, based on each such officer’s knowledge, the financial statements, as well as the other financial information included in this Annual Report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of, and for, the periods presented in this Annual Report.
In addition, Ernst & Young LLP has issued an unqualified opinion on our financial statements, which is included in Item 8 of this Annual Report, and we have developed a remediation plan for the material weaknesses, which are described below.
Remediation
(1) Our management has been implementing and continues to implement measures designed to ensure that control deficiencies contributing to the material weakness are remediated, such that these controls are designed, implemented, and operating effectively.
The remediation actions include: (i) enhancing the information technology compliance oversight function; (ii) developing a training program addressing ITGCs and policies, including educating control owners concerning the principles and requirements of internal controls, with a focus on those related to user access over information technology systems impacting financial reporting; (iii) developing and maintaining documentation underlying ITGCs to enhance the information evidencing the performance of ITGCs; (iv) developing enhanced integration functionality and controls related to the ongoing implementation of user access information technology system; (v) enhancing the information technology management review and testing plan to monitor ITGCs with a specific focus on systems supporting our financial reporting processes; and (vi) enhancing quarterly reporting on the remediation measures to the Audit Committee of the Board.
We believe that these actions will remediate the material weakness.
The material weakness will not be considered remediated, however, until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and our management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively.
We expect that the remediation of this material weakness will be completed prior to the end of fiscal 2024.
(2) As further discussed in note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, management has restated its 2023 interim consolidated financial statements.
In addition, management is developing enhanced monitoring and oversight controls in the application of U.S. GAAP guidance pertaining to customer funds held for the benefit of others.
We believe that these actions will remediate the material weakness as of March 31, 2024.
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, 2023, the internal controls related to four subsidiaries that we acquired during the year ended December 31, 2023, and for which financial results are included in our consolidated financial statements.
During 2023, the Company acquired Global Reach, a U.K.-based cross-border payments provider; Mina Digital Limited Solutions, a cloud-based electric vehicle charging software platform; Business Gateway AG, a European-based service, maintenance and repair technology provider; and PayByPhone Technologies, Inc., the world's second largest mobile parking operator.
Collectively, we refer to these transactions as the 2023 Acquisitions.
These 2023 Acquisitions constituted 3.9% of total assets at December 31, 2023, and 0.9% of revenues, net 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.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except for the material weaknesses identified above, as of December 31, 2023, there have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during our fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
