Current report
Mobility revenues by approximately $57.3 million, and $119.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively. Additionally, higher spot rates on invoice balances, primarily as a result of fewer available carriers and drivers, increased factoring fee revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, as seen in the preceding table.
Current report
Changes in fuel prices significantly impact earnings as most costs are not similarly impacted by fuel prices. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, fuel prices benefited Mobility segment adjusted operating margin by approximately 3 percentage points. The remaining increase in the third quarter Mobility segment adjusted operating margin was primarily due to higher revenues excluding the benefit of fuel prices.
Current report
During both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, other operating expenses were impacted by higher stock-based compensation, driven by an increase in estimated attainments, primarily as a result of the higher domestic fuel prices’ impact on our performance-based awards.
Current report
General and administrative expense in total remained relatively consistent for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in stock-based compensation mentioned above was offset by an approximate $4 million loss incurred during the third quarter of 2025 related to a strategic decision to sell an immaterial international subsidiary. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, approximately $9 million of increased employee compensation costs, substantially driven by the higher stock-based compensation, were offset by the prior year loss from sale of a subsidiary.
Current report
Total Benefits revenue increased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Approximately $5 million and $19 million of the increase in total revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2026, respectively, was due to higher HSA custodial investment revenue resulting from an increase in average HSA custodial cash assets. Additionally, we saw higher payment processing revenues on increased purchase volumes.
Current report
HSA custodial investment revenue earned from custodial deposits held at third-party banks is reflected within account servicing revenues while the revenue earned on invested HSA deposits held by WEX Bank are reflected within other revenues. Despite the overall increase in total custodial investment revenue, total account servicing revenue decreased due to a shift to other revenues driven by lower HSA deposits held by third-party depository banks as a result of these deposits being transferred to WEX Bank, which typically earns higher yields.
Current report
Segment adjusted operating income margin during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 is slightly down from the comparable prior year period as a result of higher costs, due primarily to higher processing costs and depreciation.
Current report
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, there were instances in which certain expenses did not remain comparable to those of the same periods of the prior year, which are described hereafter.
Current report
Service fees decreased in both the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 due substantially to cost savings resulting from transitioning payment processing in-house from a third-party vendor and the renegotiation of bank fees, which contributed to near equal reductions in expense.
Current report
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, the provision for credit losses primarily decreased as a result of lower collection risk in the receivables portfolio, primarily due to an improvement in the aging of segment receivables.
Current report
Net cash provided by financing activities during 2026 increased $443.8 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, substantially due to an increase in Net Funding Activity driven primarily by higher relative net borrowings from the FHLB and higher Federal Fund borrowings, largely to fund higher accounts receivable balances in 2026.
Current report
Adjusted free cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased $126.1 million as compared to the same period in the prior year substantially due to higher operating income, primarily driven by the increase in fuel prices.
Current report
Non–GAAP Liquidity Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures
Current report
In addition to evaluating the Company’s liquidity on a GAAP basis, Company management uses adjusted free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate cash generation by adjusting for certain activities including those related to WEX Bank. For example, WEX Bank funds certain customer receivables through the issuance of deposits, short-term debt or the HSA deposits provided by our Benefits segment. WEX Bank can also elect to invest HSA deposits. Changes in deposits, short-term debt and investment activity are reflected in the calculation of adjusted free cash flow.
Current report
We view adjusted free cash flow as an important and useful measure for understanding our cash generation from ongoing operations in order to determine the amount of cash generated that is available to be used toward management’s capital allocation priorities. Adjusted free cash flow, however, is not a measure of cash available for discretionary expenditures, as WEX has certain non-discretionary obligations and cash requirements, such as debt service requirements, that are not deducted from this measure.
Current report
Adjusted Free Cash Flow
Current report
•Net sales and maturities or purchases of current investment securities relates to the investment of HSA deposits, which are obtained operationally and included within Net Funding Activity described below;
Current report
•To reflect cash generated by core operations, adjusted free cash flow incorporates Net Funding Activity, which includes changes in HSA deposits invested in debt securities and changes in deposits and short-term debt used specifically as part of our accounts receivable financing strategy. Because these funding activities directly support operations, incorporating them provides a view into underlying cash generation;
Current report
•WEX Bank cash, which comprises the majority of our consolidated cash balances, may be increased or decreased as a result of the timing of Net Funding Activity and regulatory capital requirements, rather than Company operating activities. Accordingly, we remove the change in WEX Bank cash balances from adjusted free cash flow, to isolate balances not readily available to WEX Inc.; and
Current report
•Management views certain other adjustments, including add-backs to operating cash flows for contingent consideration paid to sellers for acquisitions, as cash expenditures not arising from the ongoing operations of the business, and therefore excludes them from adjusted free cash flow.

Previous report
(1)Higher domestic fuel prices increased revenues by $63.8 million and $61.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2025. The high volatility and rapid increase in the price of fuel as a result of the war in the Middle East, resulted in unfavorable European fuel price spreads and reduced revenue from fuel prices during the first quarter of 2026. During the second quarter of 2026, the impacts from European market fuel spreads reverted to more normal trends. Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations had a $1.8 million and $4.6 million favorable impact on revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, as compared to the same periods of 2025.
Previous report
Late fee revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, due primarily to an increase in outstanding balances subject to a late fee charge as a result of higher average domestic fuel prices. This growth was offset in part by lower late fee instances. Factoring fee revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, due to higher average invoice sizes resulting from increased spot rates due to a decrease in available carriers and driver supply, combined with rising fuel costs.
Previous report
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. Such margin increased during the three months ended June 30, 2026 as compared to the same period in the prior year, due primarily to higher domestic fuel prices, which are accretive to earnings since most costs are not impacted by fuel prices, offset in part by the increased provision for credit losses coupled with the impact of sales and product development investments, as further discussed below.
Previous report
Total Benefits revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, substantially due to higher other revenue from an increase in average HSA deposit balances held by WEX Bank and higher payment processing revenues on increased purchase volumes. The decrease in account servicing revenue was driven by a reduction in program fees earned on custodial services from lower HSA deposits held by third- party depository banks as a result of deposits being transferred to WEX Bank. Such decrease was offset in part by higher account servicing revenues earned as a result of an increase in average number of SaaS accounts.
Previous report
(2)Segment adjusted operating income margin is calculated by dividing segment adjusted operating income by segment revenue. Revenue earned on HSA assets is highly accretive to earnings, however, higher HSA-related revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 were offset primarily by increased nonrecurring operating costs incurred during the second quarter of 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Previous report
Total Corporate Payments revenue increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in network incentives, offset in part by a decrease in purchase volumes primarily driven by travel volumes timing between the first half and second half of the year. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our revenue increase includes a $2.6 million favorable impact from foreign exchange rates, as compared to the same period of the prior year.

Previous wording
Late fee revenue primarily consists of late fees charged for receivables not paid within the terms of the customer agreement based upon the outstanding customer receivable balance and, to a lesser degree, by finance charges earned on revolving portfolio balances. This revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent and is calculated using the greater of a minimum charge or a stated late fee rate multiplied by the outstanding balance that is subject to a late fee charge. Changes in the absolute amount of such outstanding balances can generally be attributed to: (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; (iii) customer specific delinquencies; and (iv) changes in late fee rates.

Previous wording
Provision for credit losses, which includes estimates for both credit and fraud losses, increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase was substantially driven by higher accounts receivable balances primarily as a result of increased spend from higher average fuel prices and to a smaller extent, the impact from higher loss rates during the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025.
Current wording
Provision for credit losses, which includes estimates for both credit and fraud losses, increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increase for the third quarter of 2026 was substantially driven by higher accounts receivable balances due to increased cardholder spend resulting from higher average fuel prices. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, half of the increase was due to the impacts from higher average fuel prices. In addition, approximately one quarter of the increase was driven by an increase in chargeoffs, as evidenced by the basis point increase in our credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions.
Previous wording
Operating interest increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to higher relative average funding needs of the Mobility segment as a result of higher average domestic fuel prices, offset in part by a reduction in average interest rates.
Current wording
Operating interest increased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Such increases were primarily due to higher relative average funding needs of the Mobility segment as a result of higher average domestic fuel prices. These increases were offset by a reduction in average interest rates in both the 2026 three and nine month periods, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily driven by lower Federal Funds rates.
Previous wording
Sales and marketing expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily resulting from the sustained investments tied to sales initiatives made throughout 2025, a growth in partner commissions, and higher stock-based compensation primarily due to an increase in estimated attainments.
Current wording
Sales and marketing expenses increased for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. Approximately $4 million of the third quarter increase year-over-year was due to a growth in partner commissions primarily due to the increase in average fuel prices. Partner commissions are determined based on cardholder spend and thus subject to fuel price fluctuations. The remaining increase was substantially due to the higher stock-based compensation. Approximately half of the increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior year, was due to increased employee compensation, driven in near equal amounts by the sustained investments tied to sales initiatives made throughout 2025 and higher stock-based compensation. The remaining increase was primarily due to a $9 million growth in partner commissions.
Previous wording
General and administrative expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, due primarily to higher stock-based compensation as a result of an increase in estimated attainments and increased costs incurred toward technology licenses and professional service fees.

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, changes in revenue generally have a similar impact on operating income, segment adjusted operating income and segment adjusted operating income margin. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, however, segment adjusted operating income margin increased significantly from the comparable 2025 periods. These increases were driven by higher second quarter margins due substantially to a reduction in the provision for credit losses as a result of lower collection risk in the receivables portfolio, offset in part by increased sales and marketing expense, resulting primarily from the sustained investments tied to sales initiatives made throughout 2025.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses increased as compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to an increase in professional services and other expenses incurred in connection with the proxy contest that concluded during the second quarter of 2026 and increased stock-based compensation expense as a result of higher estimated performance-based attainments.
Current wording
During the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in general and administrative expense, as compared to the same period of the prior year, was substantially due to higher stock-based compensation, driven by an increase in estimated attainments, primarily due to higher domestic fuel prices’ impact on our performance-based awards. During the nine months ended September 30, 2026, the increase in general and administrative expense was substantially due to the increase in stock-based compensation and higher professional services and other expenses incurred in connection with the proxy contest that concluded during the second quarter of 2026, by near equal amounts.
Previous wording
Financing interest expense, net of financial instruments decreased during the three months ended June 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior year, primarily due to lower interest rates and a reduction in borrowings on the Revolving Credit facility. Partially offsetting these factors during the six months ended June 30, 2026, was higher comparative interest year over year as a result of the issuance of the Senior Notes on March 6, 2025.
Current wording
Financing interest expense, net of financial instruments decreased during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease in interest expense during the third quarter of 2026, as compared to the third quarter of 2025, was driven by lower interest rates and a reduction in borrowings under the Credit Agreement, in near equal amounts. The impact on interest expense from lower interest rates and decreased borrowings under the Credit Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior year, were comparable. A $6 million increase in interest expense incurred as a result of the issuance of the Senior Notes on March 6, 2025 partly offset these reductions.
Previous wording
Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in both U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. The net gain incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was due primarily to the net impacts on intercompany balance revaluation of a strengthening of the U.S. dollar, particularly against the British pound sterling and Canadian dollar and a strengthening of the British pound sterling against the Euro. The net gain incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2025 was due to a second quarter strengthening of many foreign currencies relative to the U.S dollar, including the euro, Canadian and Australian dollars and British pound sterling.
Current wording
Our foreign currency exchange exposure is primarily related to the remeasurement of our cash, receivable and payable balances, including intercompany transactions that are denominated in both U.S. dollar and foreign currencies. The net gain incurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was due primarily to unrealized gains related to the noncash remeasurement of foreign-denominated intercompany borrowing activity, and particularly British pound sterling-denominated intercompany receivables held by certain of our European subsidiaries, driven by a strengthening of the British pound sterling against the Euro during the period. Net losses incurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were due primarily to the impacts on intercompany balance revaluation of a strong Euro against the British pound sterling for the first nine months of 2025 and a weakened U.S. Dollar against most other currencies through the first half of 2025.

(1)Adjusted free cash flow is calculated as cash flows from operating activities adjusted for net sales and maturities or purchases of current investment securities, capital expenditures, net Funding Activity, changes in WEX Bank cash balances and certain other adjustments. 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 to further evaluate our results of operations. Please refer to the section titled Non-GAAP Financial Measures That Supplement GAAP Measures included in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10–Q for the reasons why we believe this is an important financial measure, and for a reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities, the most closely comparable GAAP measure.

We fund a customer’s entire receivable in the majority of our Mobility and Corporate Payments processing transactions, while the revenue generated by these transactions is only a small percentage of that amount. Consequently, cash flows from operations are impacted significantly by increases or decreases in fuel prices and purchase volumes, driving changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable balances, which directly impact our capital resource requirements.

Current wording
Cash used for operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased $579.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to the impact of higher domestic fuel prices on receivable and merchant payables balances. Cash outflows due to receivables increased by approximately $1.3 billion, partly offset by cash inflows from merchant payables, which increased approximately $600 million.
Previous wording
Cash used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026, increased $364.2 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to higher transfers of HSA deposits to WEX Bank in the current year, that are invested in available-for-sale debt securities.
Current wording
Cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2026, increased $337.5 million as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to incremental investments in available-for-sale debt securities funded by transfers of HSA deposits to WEX Bank in the current year.
Previous wording
Net cash provided by financing activities during 2026 increased $635.7 million as compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to an increase in Net Funding Activity driven substantially by higher relative deposit balances and net borrowings from the FHLB. While we completed the Tender Offer during the six months ended June 30, 2025, we funded the majority of such share repurchases with $450.0 million of gross borrowings from a new Term Loan B-3 facility under our Credit Agreement and through gross proceeds of $550.0 million from a new offering of Senior Notes. The excess of proceeds received through these borrowings over the amounts paid to repurchase shares under the Tender Offer were used to repay borrowings on the Revolving Credit Facility. As a result, these transactions collectively had little net impact on net cash flows from financing activities during 2025.

Given 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.
