World Fuel Services Corporation Completes PAPCO, Inc. and Associated Petroleum Products, Inc.
Acquisitions
World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE: INT), today announced that it has completed the previously announced acquisitions of
PAPCO, Inc. and Associated Petroleum Products, Inc.
PAPCO is headquartered in Virginia Beach, VA, with 150 employees and 2015 revenue of $1 billion and APP is headquartered in
Tacoma, WA, with 275 employees and 2015 revenue of $600 million. Both are leading distributors of gasoline, diesel, lubricants,
propane and related services in their respective regions.
“We are pleased to welcome the PAPCO and APP teams to the World Fuel Services organization,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, chairman
and chief executive officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “These transactions, combined with our existing World Fuel land
segment operations, will serve to further enhance our commercial and industrial platforms to deliver value-added solutions to
customers across the United States.”
Excluding the impact of one-time acquisition related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately $4
million and $9 million respectively, the transactions are expected to be $0.22 to $0.26 accretive to earnings on a Non-GAAP basis
in the first twelve months.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release includes selected financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). Specifically, we have used non-GAAP accretion to earnings per share, which
excludes one-time acquisition-related expenses and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe
they are reflective of the company’s core operating results. We believe that this non-GAAP financial measure, when considered in
conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors to further aid in evaluating
the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP
results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP accretion may not be comparable to the presentation of
such metric by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to its most directly
comparable GAAP financial measure contained in this press release.
Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements
This release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995,
including statements regarding our expectations about the effect of the acquisitions on our land segment, our commercial and
industrial platform and delivery of value-added solutions, as well as the effect of the transaction on our earnings. These
forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in the
company’s Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC
on February 16, 2016. Actual results may differ materially from any forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties,
including, but not limited to: our ability to effectively integrate and derive benefits from the acquisitions, our ability to
capitalize on new market opportunities, potential liabilities, limited indemnities and the extent of any insurance coverage, the
outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, the impact of quarterly fluctuations in results, the creditworthiness of our
customers and counterparties and our ability to collect accounts receivable, environmental and other risks associated with the
storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products, our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks associated
with the use of derivatives, non-performance by counterparties or customers on derivatives contracts, loss of, or reduced sales, to
a significant government customer, uninsured losses, the failure of fuel and other products we sell to meet specifications,
fluctuations in world oil prices or foreign currency, changes in political, economic, regulatory, or environmental conditions,
adverse conditions in the markets or industries in which we or our customers and suppliers operate, the impact of natural
disasters, adverse results in legal disputes, unanticipated tax liabilities, our ability to retain and attract senior management
and other key employees and other risks detailed from time to time in the company’s SEC filings. New risks emerge from time to time
and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business.
Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, changes in expectations, future events, or otherwise.
