Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2026, management carried out, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in applicable rules and forms and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in those reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2026, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
| Item 1. Legal Proceedings |
In the ordinary course of business, Corpay, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively, the "Company") is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions, arbitration proceedings, claims, subpoenas and matters relating to compliance with laws and regulations (collectively, "legal proceedings"). Based on our current knowledge, management presently does not believe that the liabilities arising from these legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of these legal proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for any particular period.
FTC Matter
In October 2017, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued a Notice of Civil Investigative Demand to the Company for the production of documentation and a request for responses to written interrogatories. After discussions with the Company, the FTC proposed in October 2019 to resolve potential claims relating to the Company’s advertising and marketing practices, principally in its U.S. direct fuel card business within its North American fuel card business. The parties reached impasse primarily related to what the Company believed were unreasonable demands for redress made by the FTC.
On December 20, 2019, the FTC filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of Georgia (the “District Court”) against the Company and Ron Clarke. See FTC v. FleetCor Technologies, Inc., No. 19-cv-05727 (N.D. Ga.). The complaint alleged the Company and Ron Clarke violated the FTC Act’s prohibitions on unfair and deceptive acts and practices and sought, among other things, injunctive relief, consumer redress and costs of suit. On April 22, 2021, the United States Supreme Court held unanimously in AMG Capital Management v. FTC that the FTC does not have authority under current law to seek monetary redress under Section 13(b) of the FTC Act, the provision on which the FTC had relied in this case. Following that decision, the FTC filed a parallel administrative action under Section 5 of the FTC Act on August 11, 2021, alleging the same underlying facts, and moved to stay or voluntarily dismiss the District Court case. The administrative action was stayed pending resolution of the federal court proceeding. On August 9, 2022, the District Court granted the FTC's motion for summary judgment as to liability for the Company and Ron Clarke, but granted the Company's motion for summary judgment as to the FTC's claim for monetary relief against the Company and Ron Clarke.
On June 8, 2023, the District Court issued an Order for Permanent Injunction and Other Relief. The Company appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit on August 3, 2023, and the FTC's parallel Section 5 administrative action remained stayed pending that appeal. On January 6, 2026, the Eleventh Circuit affirmed the judgment against the Company and affirmed the judgment against Ron Clarke except for one count, which was vacated and remanded. On May 5, 2026, the Eleventh Circuit denied the Company’s petition for en banc review.
On July 1, 2026, the FTC and the Company reached an agreement with the FTC staff on the terms of a proposed consent order that would resolve the FTC investigation, the claims in the action before the District Court, the administrative action and any other remaining issues in the case. The proposed consent order is subject to the customary approvals of the FTC Commissioners and the District Court. The Company has currently recorded a $100 million charge based on the terms of the proposed consent order.
If the proposed consent order is not approved or if there any changes to the terms of the proposed consent order during the review process, the Company could incur additional redress and/or penalties.
