Current report
General and administrative expense decreased $12.9 million for the third quarter of 2024 and $10.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to a third quarter 2023 write-off of certain costs associated with an abandoned IT development project and higher professional services expense in the prior year periods.
Current report
The increases in provision for credit losses during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not meaningful as such increases were substantially driven by a recovery of provision for credit losses during the prior year comparable periods.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.1 million and $6.2 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, due primarily to the depreciation of certain travel-related payments processing assets placed into service during the first quarter of 2024.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $5.5 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to software assets recently placed into service.

Current report
The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow has historically been calculated as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net Funding Activity, and certain other adjustments including contingent and deferred consideration paid to sellers in excess of acquisition-date fair value. Such calculation has historically been based on the principle that the net activity in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and investment of HSA deposits would be offset by WEX Bank Funding Activity, however, due to the nature of WEX Bank cash balances, they may be increased or decreased for reasons other than matching operating activity. As a result, beginning with the third quarter of 2024, adjusted free cash flow also includes an adjustment to reflect the change in WEX Bank cash balances and the applicable prior periods have similarly been adjusted to conform to the current presentation.
Current report
Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $1,746.4 million, due primarily to a decrease in our restricted cash payable and net deposits, along with increased share repurchases. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company expended $543.6 million toward the return of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 2.5 million shares of our common stock subject to an authorized and outstanding share repurchase program. Such shares are exclusive of any shares expected to be delivered during the fourth quarter of 2024 upon settlement of our previously announced ASR.
Current report
During September 2024, the Company’s board of directors authorized an amended share repurchase program under which up to an additional $1.0 billion worth of WEX’s common stock may be repurchased by the Company through December 31, 2025, expanding the total authorization from $1.05 billion to $2.05 billion. As of September 30, 2024, there was $1,069.8 million worth of common stock available to be purchased pursuant to the repurchase plan authorization.
Current report
Adjusted free cash flow increased $57.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year, consistent with the increase in adjusted operating income for the same periods.

Previous wording
Finance income increased $1.0 million for the second quarter of 2024 and decreased $8.7 million for the first half of 2024 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease in the first half of 2024 finance income compared to the prior year period was primarily due to a decline in the number of late fee instances, reflective of the tighter credit policies we put in place during mid-2023, offset in part by an increase in contractual late fee rates charged. Concessions to certain customers experiencing financial difficulties may be granted and are limited to extending the time to pay, placing a customer on a payment plan or granting waivers of late fees. There were no material concessions granted to customers experiencing financial difficulties during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

Provision for credit losses, which includes estimates for both credit and fraud losses, decreased by $2.9 million and $27.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Stabilization in the over-the-road trucking market, tighter credit policies put in place to reduce losses, and lower than expected charge-offs from macroeconomic factors have all contributed to the reduction in the provision year over year. We generally measure our loss performance by calculating fuel-related losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions. This metric for provision for credit losses was 13.5 and 14.4 basis points of fuel expenditures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, provision for credit losses was 15.4 and 23.6 basis points of fuel expenditures, respectively.

As a result of owning all of our technology and issuing capabilities, our Corporate Payments segment has a highly scalable and relatively fixed cost base resulting in largely comparable expenses year to year. As a result, the increase in revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the prior year comparable periods, has also contributed to the increased operating income, segment adjusted operating income and segment adjusted operating income margin for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. Instances in which our expenses for the second quarter and first half of 2024 did not remain comparable to those of the comparable 2023 periods are described hereafter.

•Debt restructuring and debt issuance cost amortization are unrelated to the continuing operations of the Company. Debt restructuring costs are not consistently occurring and do not reflect expected future operating expense, nor do they provide insight into the fundamentals of current or past operations of our business. In addition, since debt issuance cost amortization is dependent upon the financing method, which can vary widely company to company, we believe that excluding these costs helps to facilitate comparison to historical results as well as to other companies within our industry;

The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities, adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net funding activity including the change in net deposits, net advances from the FHLB, and changes in borrowings under the BTFP and borrowed federal funds, and certain other adjustments which, for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, reflects an adjustment for contingent and deferred consideration paid to sellers in excess of acquisition-date fair value. Although non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, WEX believes that adjusted free cash flow is a useful measure for investors to further evaluate our results of operations because (i) adjusted free cash flow indicates the level of cash generated by the operations of the business, which excludes consideration paid on acquisitions, after appropriate reinvestment for recurring investments in property, equipment and capitalized software that are required to operate the business; (ii) net funding activity includes fluctuations in deposits and other borrowings primarily used as part of our accounts receivable funding strategy; and (iii) purchases of current investment securities are made as a result of deposits gathered operationally. However, because adjusted free cash flow is a non-GAAP measure, it should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, operating cash flow as determined in accordance with GAAP. In addition, adjusted free cash flow as used by WEX may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

(1)The Company’s non-GAAP adjusted free cash flow has historically been calculated as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for net purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net Funding Activity, and certain other adjustments including contingent and deferred consideration paid to sellers in excess of acquisition-date fair value. Such calculation has historically been based on the principle that the net activity in accounts receivable, accounts payable, and investment of HSA deposits would be offset by WEX Bank Funding Activity, however, due to the nature of WEX Bank cash balances, they may be increased or decreased for reasons other than matching operating activity. As a result, beginning with the third quarter of 2024, adjusted free cash flow also includes an adjustment to reflect the change in WEX Bank cash balances and the applicable prior periods have similarly been adjusted to conform to the current presentation. For an updated definition of adjusted free cash flow and a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most closely comparable GAAP measure, and the reasons why we believe this is an important financial measure, please refer to the section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures.
