1. Acquisitions and Significant Accounting Policies

Acquisitions

2010 Acquisitions

In July 2010, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Lakeside Oil Company, Inc., including the assets comprising its wholesale motor fuel distribution business (the “Lakeside business”). The Lakeside business, based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is primarily an independent distributor of branded and unbranded gasoline and diesel fuel to retail petroleum operators and industrial, commercial and government customers. The estimated aggregate purchase price of the acquired net assets was $44.2 million, which is subject to change based on the finalization of the value of certain net assets acquired. The allocation of the purchase price is not available due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the filing date of this 10-Q Report. The financial position and results of operations of the Lakeside business are not reflected in our consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 as the acquisition was completed in July 2010.

In January 2010, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of Falmouth Oil Services Limited (the “FOS business”). The FOS business is primarily a marine oil terminal for fuel oil and diesel strategically located in the United Kingdom, which we used for fuel storage prior to the acquisition. The financial position and results of operations of the FOS business have been included in our consolidated financial statements since January 1, 2010. The revenue and net income contributed by our acquisition of the FOS business is not significant as there were no significant third-party customers of the FOS business and it has been integrated into our existing business.

The aggregate purchase price of the acquired net assets of the FOS business was £9.2 million ($14.9 million) which consisted of £5.2 million ($8.5 million) in cash and the extinguishment of certain receivables from Falmouth Oil Services Limited of £4.0 million ($6.4 million). The purchase price for the acquisition of the FOS business was allocated to the acquired net assets based on their estimated fair value: fixed assets of $9.5 million, intangible assets, primarily goodwill, of $2.7 million and net working capital of $2.7 million. At June 30, 2010, we had not yet completed the allocation of the purchase price for the acquisition of the FOS business since the valuation of the acquired assets, including goodwill and assumed liabilities, had not been completed. All of the goodwill is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes.

2009 Acquisitions

In April 2009, we acquired all of the outstanding stock of Henty Oil Limited, Tank and Marine Engineering Limited and Henty Shipping Services Limited (collectively, “Henty”), an independent provider of marine and land based fuels in the United Kingdom. Henty services three ports on the Irish Sea and provides fuel and gas oil to a broad range of customers throughout the United Kingdom. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, Henty contributed revenue of $59.7 million and $112.7 million, respectively, and net income of $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively. The Henty purchase agreement includes a contingent consideration clause (the “Earn-out”) based on Henty meeting certain operating targets over the three-year period ending April 30, 2012. The maximum Earn-out that may be paid is £9.0 million ($13.6 million as of June 30, 2010) if all operating targets are achieved. As of the acquisition date, we estimated the fair value of the Earn-out to be £4.2 million ($6.2 million) which was recorded as a liability and as part of the purchase consideration. We estimate the fair value of the Earn-out at each reporting period based on our assessment of the probability of Henty achieving such operating targets over the three-year period. The change in the estimated fair value of the Earn-out from the acquisition date to June 30, 2010 was not significant.

Also in April 2009, we completed the acquisition of certain assets of TGS Petroleum, Inc., including the assets comprising its wholesale motor fuel distribution business (the “TGS business”). The TGS business, based in Chicago, Illinois, is primarily an independent distributor of branded and unbranded gasoline and diesel fuel to retail petroleum operators.

Pro Forma Information

The following presents the unaudited pro forma results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as if the Henty and TGS business acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2009 (in thousands, except per share data):

 

     For the Six Months ended
June 30, 2009

The FOS business is not included in the pro forma information above as its impact on the pro forma amounts is not significant. Pro forma information related to the Lakeside business is not available due to the proximity of the acquisition date to the filing of these financial statements.

Significant Accounting Policies

Except as updated below, the significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” included in our 2009 10-K Report.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes to the consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, after elimination of all significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits.

In November 2009, we announced a two-for-one split of our common stock. All references to number of shares and per share amounts in the financial statements and notes to the financial statements reflect the stock split.

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the future earnings and cash flow potential of acquired businesses in excess of the fair values that are assigned to all other identifiable assets and liabilities. Goodwill arises because the purchase price paid reflects numerous factors, including the strategic fit and expected synergies these acquisitions bring to existing operations and the prevailing market value for comparable companies. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, goodwill increased by an aggregate $2.5 million and was recorded in our marine segment; $2.7 million as a result of the acquisition of the FOS business (see Note 1) partially offset by a reduction in goodwill of $0.2 million as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our Brazilian subsidiary.

Extinguishment of Liability

In the normal course of business, we accrue liabilities for fuel and services received for which invoices have not yet been received. These liabilities are derecognized, or extinguished, if either 1) payment is made to relieve our obligation for the liability or 2) we are legally released from our obligation for the liability, such as when our legal obligations with respect to such liabilities lapse or otherwise no longer exist. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, we derecognized vendor liability accruals due to the legal release of our obligations in the amount of $1.5 million and $4.6 million, as compared to $1.5 million and $3.3 million during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, which is reflected as a reduction of cost of revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) relating to improved disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the related allowance for credit losses. This ASU will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. We do not believe that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives. In July 2010, we adopted an ASU for embedded credit derivatives. This ASU clarifies that the type of embedded credit derivatives that are exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements relates only to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Revenue Recognition: Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. In July 2010, we adopted an ASU regarding revenue recognition relating to multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. This ASU requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures and will be applied prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted an ASU relating to additional disclosures regarding fair value measurements. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional fair value disclosures (see Note 8) and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Variable Interest Entities. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted an ASU regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets. In the first quarter of 2010, we adopted an ASU regarding the accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

2. Short-Term Investments

At December 31, 2009, our short-term investments consisted of commercial paper valued at $8.1 million, with a par value of $10.0 million, as a result of a $1.9 million impairment charge recorded in September 2007. During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a gain of $1.9 million, which is reflected in other income, net in the consolidated statements of income, due to the collection of the full par value of $10.0 million in July 2010.

 

3. Derivatives

We enter into derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in marine, aviation and land fuel and to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We also enter into derivatives in order to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (“NPNS”), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.

Table of Contents

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with some of our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.

Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in marine, aviation and land fuel in the form of swaps as well as fixed price purchase and sale contracts, which do not qualify for hedge accounting; to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs; and for proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.

As of June 30, 2010, our derivative instruments were as follows (in thousands, except mark-to-market prices):

In the event forecasted foreign currency cash outflows are less than the hedged amounts, a portion or all of the gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income would be reclassified to the consolidated statements of income. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, a net realized gain of $0.7 million representing the fair value of hedging instruments at the date of de-designation, due to the hedged forecasted foreign currency cash outflows no longer being probable, was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income, net in the consolidated statements of income.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, there were no amounts recognized in the consolidated statements of income related to the ineffective portion of our cash flow hedges or amounts excluded from the assessment of our cash flow hedge effectiveness.

We enter into derivative instrument contracts which may require us to periodically post collateral. Certain of these derivative contracts contain clauses that are similar to credit-risk-related contingent features, including material adverse change, general adequate assurance and internal credit review clauses that may require additional collateral to be posted and/or settlement of the instruments in the event an aforementioned clause is triggered. The triggering events are not a quantifiable measure; rather they are based on good faith and reasonable determination by the counterparty that the triggers have occurred. The following table presents the net liability for such contracts, the collateral posted and the amount of assets required to be posted and/or to settle the positions should a contingent feature be triggered (in thousands):

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was calculated based on the estimated effective tax rate for the full 2010 and 2009 fiscal years. However, the actual effective tax rate for the full 2010 fiscal year may be materially different as a result of differences between estimated versus actual results and the geographic tax jurisdictions in which the results are earned. The lower effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 resulted primarily from differences in the actual and forecasted results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates as compared to the corresponding periods in 2009.

Legal Matters

Miami Airport Litigation

In April 2001, Miami-Dade County, Florida (the “County”) filed suit (the “County Suit”) in the state circuit court in and for Miami-Dade County against 17 defendants to seek reimbursement for the cost of remediating environmental contamination at Miami International Airport (the “Airport”).

Also in April 2001, the County sent a letter to approximately 250 potentially responsible parties (“PRP’s”), including World Fuel Services Corporation and one of our subsidiaries, advising of our potential liability for the clean-up costs of the contamination that is the subject of the County Suit. The County has threatened to add the PRP’s as defendants in the County Suit, unless they agree to share in the cost of the environmental clean-up at the Airport. We have advised the County that: (i) neither we nor any of our subsidiaries were responsible for any environmental contamination at the Airport, and (ii) to the extent that we or any of our subsidiaries were so responsible, our liability was subject to indemnification by the County pursuant to the indemnity provisions contained in our lease agreement with the County.

If we are added as a defendant in the County Suit, we would vigorously defend any claims, and we believe our liability in these matters (if any) should be adequately covered by the indemnification obligations of the County.

Panama Litigation

In July 2005, Atlantic Service Supply, S.A. (“Atlantic”), a Panamanian fuel barge operator, filed suit against Tramp Oil & Marine Limited (“TOM”), one of our subsidiaries, alleging that TOM is jointly and severally liable for barging fees of $1.0 million owed to Atlantic by Isthmian Petroleum Supply & Services, S.A. (“Isthmian”). In July 2007, the court ruled against Atlantic, finding that TOM was not liable for any barging fees owed to Atlantic by Isthmian. Isthmian has appealed this ruling. TOM and Isthmian were parties to an agreement pursuant to which Isthmian provided storage, delivery and other fuel-related services to TOM in Panama. In its suit, Atlantic alleges (i) Isthmian breached a barge charter agreement entered into between the two parties, (ii) Isthmian entered into the agreement as an agent on behalf of TOM, and (iii) TOM is liable, as a principal, for Isthmian’s breach of the agreement. We believe this suit is without merit and we intend to vigorously defend the action.

In August 2005, TOM filed a lawsuit against Isthmian seeking damages of $3.1 million for breach of contract and wrongful conversion of fuel owned by TOM. In September 2005, Isthmian filed a counterclaim against TOM alleging that TOM is in breach of contract and seeking $5.0 million in damages. These actions are pending in a Panamanian maritime court. We believe Isthmian’s suit against TOM is without merit and we intend to vigorously defend the action.

Brendan Airways Litigation

One of our subsidiaries, World Fuel Services, Inc. (“WFSI”), is involved in a dispute with Brendan Airways, LLC (“Brendan”), an aviation fuel customer, with respect to certain amounts Brendan claims to have been overcharged in connection with fuel sale transactions from 2003 to 2006. In August 2007, WFSI filed an action in the state circuit court in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida, seeking declaratory relief with respect to the matters disputed by Brendan. In October 2007, Brendan filed a counterclaim against WFSI. In February 2008, the court dismissed WFSI’s declaratory action. Brendan’s counterclaim remains pending as a separate lawsuit against WFSI, and Brendan is seeking $3.5 million in damages, plus interest and attorneys fees, in its pending action. In October 2009, Brendan filed a motion with the court seeking, among other things, leave to file a third amended complaint to add various additional claims, including a claim under the Florida Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (“RICO”) Act, and claims for civil conspiracy, promissory estoppel and constructive fraud. In January 2010, the court ruled that Brendan may not amend the complaint to assert claims for violation of Florida’s RICO Act or for civil conspiracy, and WFSI filed a motion to dismiss the additional claims, including the claims for promissory estoppel and constructive fraud. In April 2010, the court dismissed the additional claims with prejudice. We believe Brendan’s claims are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend all of Brendan’s claims.

TransContinental Litigation

In April 2009, Soneet Kapila (the “Plaintiff”), as Chapter 11 Trustee for Louis Pearlman, TransContinental Airlines, Inc., and Louis J. Pearlman Enterprises, Inc. (collectively, the “Debtors”), filed a complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida against WFSI seeking $0.5 million in damages, representing payments made by the Debtors for the benefit of Planet Aviation, Inc., a WFSI customer, for which the Debtors claim they received no consideration. In June 2009, the Plaintiff, as Chapter 11 Trustee for TransContinental Aviation, Inc. (“TCA”), filed a complaint in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida against WFSI seeking $1.3 million in damages, representing payments made by TCA for which TCA claims it did not receive adequate value. We believe the claims asserted are without merit and we intend to vigorously defend these claims.

Other Matters

As of June 30, 2010, we had recorded certain reserves related to the proceedings described above which were not significant. Because the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain, we may not prevail in these proceedings and we cannot estimate our ultimate exposure in such proceedings if we do not prevail. Accordingly, a ruling against us in any of the above proceedings could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

In addition to the matters described above, we are involved in litigation and administrative proceedings primarily arising in the normal course of our business. In the opinion of management, except as set forth above, our liability, if any, under any other pending litigation or administrative proceedings, even if determined adversely, would not materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Fair value of commodity contracts and hedged item commitments is derived using forward prices that take into account commodity prices, basis differentials, interest rates, credit risk ratings, option volatility and currency rates. Fair value of hedged item inventories is derived using spot commodity prices and basis differentials. Fair value of foreign currency forwards is derived using forward prices that take into account interest rates, credit risk ratings, and currency rates.

For our derivative related contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset counterparty’s rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net fair value of cash collateral paid or received against fair value amounts recognized for net derivative related positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.

The amount recognized for the obligation to return cash collateral that has been offset against fair value assets included within netting and collateral in the above table was $1.1 million as of June 30, 2010. There were no such offsets in the above table as of December 31, 2009. There were no amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral that has been offset against fair value liabilities included within netting and collateral in the above table as of June 30, 2010 as compared to $3.2 million at December 31, 2009.

9. Business Segments

Based on the nature of operations and quantitative thresholds pursuant to accounting guidance for segment reporting, we have three reportable operating business segments: marine, aviation and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. The results of operations of our acquisitions have been included in our respective operating segments as of their respective acquisition dates as follows: the FOS business has been included in our marine segment since January 1, 2010, the TGS business has been included in our land segment since April 1, 2009 and Henty has been included in our land and marine segments since April 1, 2009. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in Note 1.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read together with our 2009 10-K Report and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in “Item 1 - Financial Statements” appearing elsewhere in this 10-Q Report. The following discussion contains forward-looking statements as described in the “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our actual results may differ significantly from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements are described in Part I of our 2009 10-K report under “Item 1A – Risk Factors.”

Forward-Looking Statements

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

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

Examples of forward-looking statements in this report include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, effectiveness of internal controls to manage risk, working capital, liquidity, capital expenditure requirements and future acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of fuel from suppliers, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, outcome of pending litigation, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.

Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

 

   

customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts;

 

   

changes in the market price of fuel;

 

   

changes in the political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;

 

   

our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks and the use of derivatives;

 

   

non-performance by counterparties or customers to derivative contracts;

 

   

changes in credit terms extended to us from our suppliers;

 

   

non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments;

 

   

non-performance of third-party service providers;

 

   

adverse conditions in the industries in which our customers operate, including a continuation of the global recession and its impact on the airline and shipping industries;

 

   

currency exchange fluctuations;

 

   

failure of the fuel we sell to meet specifications;

 

18


Table of Contents
   

our ability to manage growth;

 

   

our ability to integrate acquired businesses;

 

   

material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel;

 

   

uninsured losses;

 

   

the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes;

 

   

our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants in our senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”);

 

   

the liquidity and solvency of banks within our Credit Facility and the facility to sell certain of our accounts receivables;

 

   

increases in interest rates;

 

   

declines in the value and liquidity of cash equivalents and investments;

 

   

our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;

 

   

changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws or changes in the mix of taxable income among different tax jurisdictions;

 

   

our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations including those related to anti-corruption, economic sanction programs and environmental matters;

 

   

increased levels of competition;

 

   

the outcome of litigation; and

 

   

other risks, including those described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our 2009 10-K Report and those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”).

Overview

We are engaged in the marketing and sale of marine, aviation and land fuel products and related services on a worldwide basis. We compete by providing our customers value-added benefits, including single-supplier convenience, competitive pricing, the availability of trade credit, price risk management, logistical support, fuel quality control and fuel procurement outsourcing. We own and operate a small number of fuel storage terminals in the United Kingdom and lease storage facilities from third parties in other jurisdictions. We generally contract with third parties for the delivery of fuel products; however, in certain jurisdictions, we own, lease or charter road tankers, fuel barges, railcars and other delivery vessels which we use in connection with our fuel supply operations. We have three reportable operating business segments: marine, aviation and land. In our marine segment, we offer fuel and related services to a broad base of maritime customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related services to major commercial airlines, second and third-tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military

fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments, as well as a private label charge card used to purchase aviation fuel and related services to customers in the general aviation industry. In our land segment, we offer fuel and related services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, industrial, commercial and government customers. We also operate a small number of retail gasoline stations in the U.S.

In our marine segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and also act as brokers for others. Profit from our marine segment is determined primarily by the volume and gross profit achieved on fuel resales and by the volume and commission rate of the brokering business. In our aviation and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel, and we do not act as brokers. Profit from our aviation and land segments is primarily determined by the volume and the gross profit achieved on fuel resales, and in the case of the aviation segment, a percentage of processed charge card revenue. Our profitability in our segments also depends on our operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provide for potential bad debt.

Our revenue and cost of revenue are significantly impacted by world oil prices, as evidenced in part by our revenue and cost of revenue fluctuations in recent fiscal years, while our gross profit is not necessarily impacted by changes in world oil prices. However, due to our inventory average costing methodology, significant movements in fuel prices during any given financial period can have a significant impact on our gross profit, either positively or negatively depending on the direction, volatility and timing of such price movements.

We may experience decreases in future sales volumes and margins as a result of the ongoing deterioration in the world economy, transportation industry, natural disasters and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, as well as potential future terrorist activities and possible military retaliation. In addition, because fuel costs represent a significant part of our customers’ operating expenses, volatile and/or high fuel prices can adversely affect our customers’ businesses, and consequently the demand for our services and our results of operations. Our hedging activities may not be effective to mitigate volatile fuel prices and may expose us to counterparty risk. See “Item 1A – Risk Factors” under Part I of our 2009 10-K Report.

Reportable Segments

We have three reportable operating segments: marine, aviation and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segment based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. We evaluate and manage our business segments using the performance measurement of income from operations.

Our marine segment contributed $2.3 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $0.9 billion, or 64.8%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Of the total increase in marine segment revenue, $618.9 million was due to an increase in the average price per metric ton sold as a result of higher world oil prices in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the second quarter of 2009. The remaining increase of $276.3 million was due to increased volume primarily due to additional sales to both new and existing customers.

Our aviation segment contributed $1.7 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $0.9 billion as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Of the total increase in aviation segment revenue, $400.0 million was due to an increase in the average price per gallon sold as a result of higher world oil prices in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The remaining increase of $458.9 million was due to increased sales volume primarily due to additional sales to both new and existing customers.

Our land segment contributed $429.6 million in revenue for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $109.9 million, or 34.4%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Of the total increase in land segment revenue, $72.2 million was due to an increase in the average price per gallon sold as a result of higher world oil prices in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Our marine segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 was $43.2 million, an increase of $2.9 million, or 7.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase in marine segment gross profit was due to $8.1 million in increased sales volume from new and existing customers, partially offset by $5.2 million in decreased gross profit per metric ton sold primarily due to periodic fluctuations in customer mix.

Our aviation segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 was $52.9 million, an increase of $13.1 million, or 33.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase in aviation segment gross profit was due to $17.2 million in increased sales volume from both new and existing customers partially offset by $4.1 million in decreased gross profit per gallon sold primarily due to periodic fluctuations in the business mix.

Our land segment gross profit was $11.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009. The land segment gross profit was unchanged from the prior year as a result of increased sales volume to new and existing customers, which was equally offset by a decreased gross profit per gallon sold primarily due to our effort to add sales volume.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the second quarter of 2010 were $62.5 million, an increase of $7.1 million, or 12.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in thousands):

increase in compensation and employee benefits was primarily due to additional salaries for new hires to support our growing global business and increases in incentive and share-based compensation. The higher provision for bad debt was primarily due to a significantly higher overall accounts receivable balance in 2010 compared to 2009 which resulted from increases in average fuel prices and sales volume. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increases related to professional fees, business travel, telecommunications and office rent.

Income from Operations. Our income from operations for the second quarter of 2010 was $45.1 million, an increase of $8.9 million, or 24.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Income from operations during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in thousands):

Our marine segment earned $24.0 million in income from operations for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $1.3 million, or 5.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. This increase resulted from a $2.9 million increase in gross profit partially offset by increased operating expenses of $1.6 million. The increase in marine segment operating expenses was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, provision for bad debt and general and administrative expenses.

Our aviation segment income from operations was $28.7 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $11.0 million, or 61.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. This increase resulted from $13.1 million in higher gross profit partially offset by increased operating expenses of $2.1 million. The increase in aviation segment operating expenses was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits and provision for bad debt partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses.

Our land segment income from operations was $1.8 million for the second quarter of 2010, a decrease of $2.1 million as compared to the second quarter of 2009. This decrease resulted from our continued investment in infrastructure to support growth in the land segment and was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits, provision for bad debt and general and administrative expenses.

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments were $9.4 million for the second quarter of 2010, an increase of $1.3 million, or 15.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. The increase in corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments was attributable to higher compensation and employee benefits and general and administrative expenses.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the second quarter of 2010, we had non-operating expenses, net of $0.3 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, or 56.0% , as compared to the second quarter of 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the recording of a $1.9 million gain related to our short-term investments during the second quarter of 2010 partially offset by increased foreign exchange losses during the second quarter of 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Taxes. For the second quarter of 2010, our effective tax rate was 17.3% and our income tax provision was $7.8 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 21.4% and an income tax provision of $7.6 million for the second quarter of 2009. The lower effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2010 resulted primarily from differences in the actual and forecasted results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates as compared to 2009.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. Our net income for the second quarter of 2010 was $37.0 million, an increase of $9.2 million, or 33.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009. Diluted earnings per share for the second quarter of 2010 was $0.61 per share, an increase of $0.15 per share, or 32.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2009.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the first six months of 2010, we had non-operating expenses, net of $0.9 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 55.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2009. This decrease was primarily due to the recording of a $1.9 million gain related to our short-term investments in 2010 and a reduction in interest expense and other financing charges during the first six months of 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009 partially offset by increased foreign exchange losses during the first six months of 2010 as compared to the corresponding period of 2009.

Taxes. For the first six months of 2010, our effective tax rate was 17.9% and our income tax provision was $15.4 million, as compared to an effective tax rate of 20.1% and an income tax provision of $13.6 million for the first six months of 2009. The lower effective tax rate for the first six months of 2010 resulted primarily from differences in the actual and forecasted results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different tax rates as compared to 2009.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Share. Our net income for the first six months of 2010 was $70.7 million, an increase of $17.1 million, or 31.9%, as compared to the first six months of 2009. Diluted earnings per share for the first six months of 2010 was $1.17 per share, an increase of $0.26 per share, or 28.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Over the past several years the global financial markets have experienced unprecedented volatility, and we continue to closely monitor the potential impact of these market conditions on our liquidity. Despite this unprecedented volatility, to date, these market conditions have not had a material adverse impact on our liquidity. The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. For additional details, please see the consolidated statements of cash flows in the consolidated financial statements.

Operating Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash provided by operating activities totaled $23.8 million as compared to $121.0 million in 2009. The $97.2 million decrease in operating cash flows was primarily due to changes in net operating assets and liabilities, driven by increased sales volume and world oil prices, as compared to 2009 partially offset by increased net income.

Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $12.5 million as compared to $60.5 million in 2009. The $48.0 million decrease in cash used in investing activities in 2010 was primarily due to the acquisitions of Henty and the TGS business in April 2009.

Financing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities was $11.4 million as compared to $22.9 million in 2009. The $11.5 million decrease in cash flows from financing activities was primarily due to lower repayment of debt other than the Credit Facility of $14.5 million in 2010 compared to 2009.

Other Liquidity Measures

Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of June 30, 2010, we had $297.4 million of cash and cash equivalents compared to $298.8 million of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2009. Our primary uses of cash and cash equivalents are to fund accounts receivable, purchase inventory and make strategic investments, primarily acquisitions. We are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases; however, certain suppliers require us to provide a letter of credit. Increases in oil prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash needed to fund fuel purchases as well as reducing the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis from our suppliers.

Short-Term Investments. At December 31, 2009, our short-term investments consisted of commercial paper valued at $8.1 million, with a par value of $10.0 million, as a result of a $1.9 million impairment charge recorded in September 2007. During the second quarter of 2010, we recorded a gain of $1.9 million due to the collection of the full par value of $10.0 million in July 2010.

Credit Facility. Our Credit Facility permits borrowings of up to $475.0 million with a sublimit of $125.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $75.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $112.9 million and $47.3 million at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. We had $362.1 million of availability under our Credit Facility at June 30, 2010. The Credit Facility expires in December 2012.

Outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility, our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments fluctuate primarily based on operating cash flow, most significantly, the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers. Higher interest rates can have a negative effect on our liquidity due to higher costs of borrowing under our Credit Facility.

Our Credit Facility contains certain operating and financial covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the operating and financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility, trigger cross-defaults under other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. As of June 30, 2010, we believe we were in compliance with all covenants contained in our Credit Facility.

Accounts Receivable Facility. We have a Master Accounts Receivable Purchase Agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions which establishes a facility (the “Receivable Facility”) for us to sell up to an aggregate of $160.0 million of our accounts receivable on a revolving basis. As of June 30, 2010, no accounts receivable had been sold under the Receivable Facility. The Receivable Facility matures in September 2010 unless an event of termination occurs or the term is extended for subsequent one-year terms with the prior written consent of the syndicate of financial institutions. The Receivable Facility contains customary termination events, including, among other things, the failure to make timely payments under the Receivable Facility, the breach of covenants, and the occurrence and continuance of events of default under our Credit Facility.

Other Credit Lines. We have unsecured credit lines aggregating $40.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bank guarantees. Letters of credit issued under these credit lines are subject to fees at market rates. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $10.3 million and $20.2 million, respectively.

Additionally, we have a separate $15.0 million credit facility for the issuance of bankers’ acceptances (the “BA Facility”) with one of the banks participating in our Credit Facility. The BA Facility is a continuing facility that will remain in full force and effect until revoked by us or the bank. Bankers’ acceptances issued under the BA Facility are subject to commissions and fees (finance charges) at the bank’s prevailing rate on the date of acceptance. There were no outstanding bankers’ acceptances under the BA Facility at June 30, 2010.

We believe that available funds from existing cash and cash equivalents and our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, remain sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, to further enhance our liquidity profile, we may choose to raise additional funds which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity would be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the availability of trade credit or other forms of financing include our performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided from operating activities), the state of worldwide credit markets, and our levels of outstanding debt. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, financing may be limited or unavailable when needed or desired on terms that are favorable to us.

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for changes in our derivatives, liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits, interest and penalties (“Unrecognized Tax Liabilities”) and letters of credit, as described below, our remaining contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements did not change materially from December 31, 2009 to June 30, 2010. For a discussion of these matters, refer to “Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Item 7 of our 2009 10-K Report.

Contractual Obligations

Derivatives. See “Item 3 – Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in this 10-Q Report, for a discussion of our derivatives.

Unrecognized Tax Liabilities. As of June 30, 2010, our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities were $39.0 million. The timing of any settlement of our Unrecognized Tax Liabilities with the respective taxing authority cannot be reasonably estimated.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees. In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit or bank guarantees to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit and bank guarantees expire within one year of issuance, and expired letters of credit or bank guarantees are renewed as needed. As of June 30, 2010, we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $123.2 million under our Credit Facility and other unsecured credit lines. For additional information on our Credit Facility and credit lines, see the discussion thereof in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.

Information regarding recent accounting pronouncements is included in Note 1—Significant Accounting Policies in the “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements” in this 10-Q Report.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Derivatives

We enter into derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in marine, aviation and land fuel and to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We also enter into derivatives in order to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (“NPNS”), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with some of our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.

Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in marine, aviation and land fuel in the form of swaps as well as fixed price purchase and sale contracts, which do not qualify for hedge accounting, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and for proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2010.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Part II – Other Information

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Our risk factors are contained in “Item 1A – Risk Factors” of our 2009 10-K Report. As a result of the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, we have made material changes to the risk factor below:

We are exposed to counterparty risk in connection with certain of our contracts. The soundness of our counterparties, which include our customers and suppliers and financial institutions, could adversely affect us.

We have exposure to the marine, aviation and land fuel industries as well as to our customers and suppliers in those industries. As part of our price risk management services, we offer our customers various pricing structures on future purchases of fuel, as well as derivative products designed to assist our customers in hedging their exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices. For example, in the ordinary course of our business we enter into fixed forward pricing contracts with our customers and suppliers under which we agree to sell or purchase, as the case may be, fuel at fixed prices and they agree to purchase or sell, as the case may be, fixed volumes of fuel during the term of the contract. If there is a significant fluctuation in the price of fuel, there is a risk they could decide to, or be forced to, default under their obligations to us. Even if the counterparty to a fixed forward pricing contract does not default, if a customer has agreed to purchase fuel from us at a fixed price and the price of fuel drops, we will be functionally extending unsecured credit to that customer at the time the fuel is purchased. We have credit standards and perform credit evaluations of our customers and suppliers, which are based in part on our credit history with the applicable party. In this difficult economic environment, our credit evaluations may be inaccurate and we cannot assure you that credit performance will not be materially worse than anticipated, and, as a result, materially and adversely affect our business, financial position and results of operations.

We also use derivatives to hedge certain of our fuel inventories and certain purchase and sale commitments. In connection with these activities, we are exposed to financial risk associated with fluctuations in fuel prices. We typically hedge this risk by entering into commodity-based derivative instruments with financial institution counterparties, such as broker/dealers, commercial banks and investment banks. These transactions are typically done on an unsecured basis and should the counterparty fail to honor its obligations under our agreements with them, we could sustain significant losses which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, the U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”), the SEC and other U.S. and foreign regulators have considered, and are expected to continue considering, greater regulation of oil, gas and other energy markets. The regulation under consideration includes, among other things, proposed position limits, climate change legislation and legislation that would require the central clearance of over-the-counter derivatives and impose margin requirements on certain market participants. On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act into law, including Title VII, titled “Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010”. Among other things, it provides for new federal regulation of the swaps market and gives the CFTC and the SEC broad authority to regulate the swaps market and its principal participants. We are currently evaluating how this legislation will impact our business, but because of the sweeping nature of the changes to be made, as well as the need for clarifying and implementing regulations and/or technical corrections, at this time, we cannot predict whether or how our ability to conduct our business will be impacted. Some of these new regulations could lead to increased costs and liquidity requirements to participants in the swaps market. The timing and scope of this and other regulation is uncertain, but any such regulation could change the efficiency of the derivative markets and the volatility in the commodity and underlying markets and impact our ability to offer derivative and other price management products. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our and our customers’ respective businesses, financial conditions and results of operations.

These shares relate to the purchase of stock tendered by employees to exercise share-based payment awards and satisfy the required withholding taxes related to share-based payment awards.

 

(2)

In October 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a $50.0 million share repurchase program. The program does not require a minimum number of shares to be purchased and has no expiration date but may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2010, no shares of our common stock had been repurchased under this program. The timing and amount of shares to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and other factors.
