WEX Extends Its Existing Fuel-Price Risk Management Program

WEX

, a leading provider of corporate payment solutions, announced today that it has extended its existing fuel-price risk management program through the third quarter of 2014. On March 18, 2013, the Company purchased instruments to cover a portion of its anticipated domestic fuel-price-related earnings exposure for the first, second and third quarters of 2014. At this time, WEX has hedged approximately: 60% of its exposure for the first-quarter of 2014, 40% of its second-quarter 2014 exposure and 20% of its third-quarter 2014 exposure. Going forward, the Company intends to hedge approximately 60% of its domestic fuel-price-related earnings exposure in every quarter on a rolling basis. The instruments are designed to enhance the visibility and predictability of the Company's future earnings. The program uses instruments that create a "costless collar" based upon both the U.S. Department of Energy's weekly diesel fuel price index and NYMEX unleaded gasoline contracts. The March purchase locked in a fuel price range of approximately $3.43 to $3.49 per gallon. The following table states the approximate range of the collar and percentage of fuel-price-related earnings exposure: Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 2013 2013 2013 2013 2014 2014 2014 Average low end of range 3.42 3.44 3.47 3.36 3.38 3.35 3.43 Average top end of range 3.48 3.50 3.53 3.42 3.44 3.41 3.49 Approximate % locked in 80%* 80%* 60%* 60%* 60%** 40%** 20%** *At the time of execution, 2013 hedges were established without consideration of Fleet One volumes (WEX acquired Fleet One in October 2012). **2014 hedges have been established with consideration of Fleet One volumes.
