1.Acquisitions and Significant Accounting Policies

 

Acquisitions

 

2014 Acquisitions

 

On March 7, 2014, we completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Watson Petroleum Limited (now known as WFL (UK) Limited) (“Watson Petroleum”) a leading distributor of gasoline, diesel, heating oil, lubricants and other products and related services. Watson Petroleum is headquartered in Brinkworth, England and is one of the largest fuel distributors in the United Kingdom. 

 

 

The following presents the unaudited pro forma results for 2014 as if the 2014 acquisitions had been completed on January 1, 2013 (in thousands, except per share data):

Significant Accounting Policies

 

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 2014 10‑K Report.

 

Goodwill

 

During the first six months of 2015, we increased land segment goodwill by $1.0 million as a result of a reduction in identifiable intangible assets and an increase in property and equipment and reduced aviation segment goodwill by $5.2 million as a result of an increase in identifiable intangible assets and deferred tax liabilities and a reduction in purchase price based on our ongoing fair value assessment of certain of our 2014 acquisitions.  Additionally, we had a goodwill increase of $0.6 million and goodwill decreases of $1.5 million and $0.7 million as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries in our land, aviation and marine segments, respectively.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Inventory: Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory. In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) which simplifies the guidance on the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory within the scope of this update to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value rather than the lower of cost or market.  This update is effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year.  We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Interest—Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.  In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which is intended to improve targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations, and securitization structures. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Income Statement-Extraordinary and Unusual Items: Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items. In January 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which eliminates from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States the concept of extraordinary items. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Derivatives and Hedging: Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. In November 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which clarifies how current generally accepted accounting principles in the United States should be interpreted in evaluating the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share.  This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year.  We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern: Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.  In August 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which requires management of the Company to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2017 fiscal year. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have an impact on our financial statement disclosures.

 

Compensation-Stock Compensation. Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which includes guidance that requires a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period to be treated as a performance condition. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2016 fiscal year. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Transfers and Servicing: Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures.  In June 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase financing arrangements. It also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

 

Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  In May 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which provides guidance for revenue recognition for any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of non-financial assets. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States when it becomes effective. This update is effective at the beginning of our 2018 fiscal year. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant, and Equipment: Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.  In April 2014, the FASB issued an ASU which changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and enhances disclosures in this area. It also addresses sources of confusion and inconsistent application related to financial reporting of discontinued operations guidance. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2015 fiscal year.  The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

2.Fair Value Measurements

 

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments.  Fair value for our debt and notes receivable is derived using a discounted cash flow valuation methodology. The carrying values of these instruments approximate fair value since these instruments bear interest either at variable rates or fixed rates which are not significantly different than market rates.  Based on the fair value hierarchy, our debt of $773.8 million and $689.9 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, and our notes receivable of $8.5 million and $7.0 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are categorized in Level 3.

For our derivative contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset a 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 positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.

 

As of June  30, 2015, we had $151.8 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties, of which $96.9 million have been offset against the total amount of commodity fair value liabilities in the above table and the remaining $54.9 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  In addition, as of June  30, 2015, we have offset $18.2 million of cash collateral deposits received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table.  As of December 31, 2014, we had $301.0 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties, of which $274.3 million have been offset against the total amount of commodity fair value liabilities in the above table and the remaining $26.7 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. In addition, as of December 31, 2014, we have offset $46.7 million of cash collateral deposits received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table.

The nature of inputs that are considered Level 3 are modeled inputs. Commodity contracts categorized in Level 3 are due to the significance of the unobservable model inputs to their respective fair values. The unobservable model inputs, such as basis differentials, are based on the difference between the historical prices of our prior transactions and the underlying observable data as well as certain risk related to non-performance.  The effect on our income before income taxes of a 10% change in the model input for non-performance risk would not be significant. There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented. 

 

3.Derivatives

 

We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.  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 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 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 aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps or futures as well as certain fixed price purchase and sale contracts and proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.

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. As of June 30, 2015, the net liability position for such contracts is $35.9 million, the collateral posted is $28.9 million and the amount of assets required to be posted and/or to settle the positions should a credit-risk contingent feature be triggered is $7.0  million.  As of December 31, 2014, the net liability position for such contracts is $111.7 million, the collateral posted is $89.4 million and the amount of assets required to be posted and/or to settle the positions should a credit-risk contingent feature be triggered is $22.3 million.

5.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Matters

 

Lac-Megantic, Quebec

 

As described in Part II — Item 1 of this 10-Q Report, various lawsuits have been filed against us and other third parties related to the July 2013 train derailment in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec (the “Derailment”).  On June 8, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Trustee (the “Trustee”) for the U.S. bankruptcy estate of Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, Ltd., Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Canada Co. (“MMAC”), and the monitor (the “Monitor”) in MMAC’s Canadian bankruptcy (collectively, the “MMA Parties”) to resolve all claims arising out of the Derailment.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we will contribute US$110 million (the “Settlement Payment”) to a compensation fund established to compensate parties who suffered losses as a result of the Derailment. As part of the settlement, we will also assign to the Trustee and MMAC certain claims we have against third parties arising out of the Derailment.

 

In consideration of the Settlement Payment and the assignment of claims to the Trustee and MMAC, we, as well as our former joint ventures, DPTS Marketing, LLC and Dakota Petroleum Transport Solutions, LLC and each of their affiliates (collectively, the “WFS Parties”), will receive the benefit of the global releases and injunctions set forth in the respective bankruptcy plans filed by the Trustee in the U.S. and by MMAC in Canada (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Plan” and the “CCAA Plan” respectively, each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”). The effect of these global releases and injunctions will be to bar all claims which may exist now or in the future against the WFS Parties arising out of the Derailment, other than criminal claims which by law may not be released.

 

Neither the releases and injunctions set forth in the Plans nor our obligation to make the Settlement Payment will be effective unless and until the Plans are approved by creditors in both the U.S. and Canadian bankruptcies, an order sanctioning the CCAA Plan and confirming the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan is issued by the Canadian and U.S. bankruptcy courts, respectively, and each order becomes final and non-appealable (“Final Approval”). 

 

The CCAA Plan has been approved by creditors and by the bankruptcy court in Canada.  The court order approving the CCAA Plan remains subject to potential appeal.  Creditors in the U.S. bankruptcy have not yet voted on the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan.  In addition, the U.S. bankruptcy court has not yet issued a ruling on the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan, which Plan remains subject to challenge by third parties.  As a result, Final Approval of the Plans and the related timing remain uncertain.  For additional information regarding legal proceedings related to the Derailment, see our 2014 10-K Report and Part II — Item 1 of this 10-Q Report.

 

Based on anticipated payments under the Settlement Agreement, the value of the tank cars involved in the incident, payments under settlement agreements with certain lessors as well as legal and other costs incurred in connection with the incident, which we believe are probable and for which a reasonable estimate can be made, we have recorded total liabilities of $158.7 million.  We believe that a substantial portion of these liabilities is covered by insurance and have recorded total receivables of $155.0 million. As of June 30, 2015, the remaining unpaid liabilities of $129.8 million are included primarily in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and the remaining uncollected receivable of $142.7 million is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.   

 

Other Matters

 

In connection with a theft of fuel product valued at approximately $18.0 million, we recorded an insurance receivable for the full amount of the loss, which is included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. On July 31, 2014, our insurer, AGCS Marine Insurance Company (“AGCS”), filed a declaratory judgment action against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking a court ruling that the loss is not covered under our policy.  During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, we filed an answer to the AGCS complaint and counterclaims against AGCS for declaratory judgment and breach of contract seeking a court ruling that the loss is covered under the policy, an award of damages equal to the full amount of our loss plus interest, as well as fees and costs.  We believe AGCS’ position is without merit and we intend to vigorously pursue our rights.  However, due to the complexities and uncertainties inherent in litigation, we can provide no assurance that we will recover the full amount of the loss.

We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and tax and administrative claims. We have established loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2015, we had recorded certain reserves which were not significant. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures for that period.

Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.

 

Termination of Employment Agreement

 

On March 13, 2015, we agreed with Mr. Michael S. Clementi that he would retire from his position as Aviation Segment President, effective March 16, 2015.  In connection with the termination of his employment agreement, we recorded a charge totaling $3.8 million in March 2015, which included non-cash expenses of $0.8 million related to previously awarded stock compensation. As of June 30, 2015, $0.5 million of the cash portion of the termination of the employment agreement charge was included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and $1.9 million was included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 

6.Shareholders’ Equity

 

In June 2015, our Board of Directors renewed its existing common stock repurchase program by replacing the remainder of the existing program and authorizing the purchase of up to $100.0 million in common stock.  The program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2015, we have $100.0 million available to repurchase shares under the share repurchase program.

 

Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The foreign currency translation adjustment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2015 were primarily due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar as compared to the Brazilian Real.  The foreign currency translation adjustment gains for the six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily due to the strengthening of the Brazilian Real and the British Pound as compared to the U.S dollar.

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month and six-month periods ended June  30, 2015 and 2014 was calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the full 2015 and 2014 fiscal years. The actual effective income tax rate for the full 2015 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.    

 

We operated under a special income tax concession in Singapore which began January 1, 2008.  Our current five year special income tax concession was effective January 1, 2013.  The special income tax concession is conditional upon our meeting of certain employment and investment thresholds which, if not met in accordance with our agreement, may eliminate the benefit beginning with the first year in which the conditions are not satisfied.  The income tax concession reduces the income tax rate on qualified sales and the impact of this income tax concession decreased foreign income taxes by $0.4 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and by $2.7 million and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.   The impact of the income tax concession on basic earnings per common share was $0.01 and $0.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.04 and $0.05 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  On a diluted earnings per common share basis, the impact was $0.01 and $0.03 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $0.04 and $0.05 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

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: aviation, marine 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.  Our results of operations include (i) the results of the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Watson Petroleum in our land segment commencing on March 7, 2014, its acquisition date, and (ii) the results of the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Colt International, L.L.C (“Colt”) in our aviation segment commencing on July 29, 2014, its acquisition date.  The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1). 

 

Information concerning our revenue, gross profit and income from operations by segment is as follows (in millions):

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

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2014 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 may contain forward-looking statements, and 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 “Item 1A — Risk Factors” of our 2014 10-K Report.

 

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.  The Company’s actual results may 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 10-Q 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;

 

·

loss of, or reduced sales to a significant government customer;

·

non-performance of third-party service providers;

 

·

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

 

19


 

·

the impact of cyber and other information security-related incidents;

 

·

currency exchange fluctuations;

 

·

failure of fuel and other products we sell to meet specifications;

 

·

our ability to manage growth;

 

·

our ability to effectively integrate and derive benefits from acquired businesses;

 

·

material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel;

 

·

environmental and other risks associated with the storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products;

 

·

the impact of the Lac-Mégantic derailment and related matters;

 

·

risks associated with operating in high risk locations;

 

·

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”) and our senior term loans (“Term Loans”);

 

·

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 the costs associated in defending any actions;

 

·

the liquidity and solvency of banks within our Credit Facility and Term Loans;

 

·

increases in interest rates; and

 

·

other risks, including those described in “Item 1A - Risk Factors” in our 2014 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, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act.

Overview

 

We are a global fuel logistics, transaction management and payment processing company, principally engaged in the distribution of fuel and related products and services in the aviation, marine and land transportation industries. We compete by providing our customers with 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 have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine, and land. We primarily contract with third parties for the delivery and storage of fuel products, however, in some cases we own storage and transportation assets for strategic purposes. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related products and services to major commercial airlines, second and third‑tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, airports, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our marine segment, we offer fuel, lubricants and related products and services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines, yachts and time‑charter operators, the U.S. and foreign governments as well as other fuel suppliers. In our land segment, we offer fuel, lubricants, natural gas, electricity and related products and services to customers including petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial, residential and government customers as well as engage in crude oil marketing activities.  In addition, we offer transaction management services which consist of card payment solutions and merchant processing services to customers in the aviation, marine and land transportation industries.

In our aviation and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and other products, 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 a percentage of card payment and processing revenue. In our marine segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and other products, 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. 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 previous fiscal years, while our gross profit is not necessarily impacted by changes in world oil prices. However, 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, the decline of the transportation industry, natural disasters and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Eastern Europe, 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” of our 2014 10-K Report.

 

Reportable Segments

 

We have three reportable operating segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to each 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. Financial Information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 9 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this 10-Q Report.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our results of operations include (i) the results of the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Watson Petroleum Limited (now known as WFL (UK) Limited) (“Watson Petroleum”) in our land segment commencing on March 7, 2014, its acquisition date, and (ii) the results of the acquisition of all of the outstanding stock of Colt International, L.L.C (“Colt”) in our aviation segment commencing on July 29, 2014, its acquisition date.

Our aviation segment revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $3.2 billion, a decrease of $1.3 billion, or 28.2%, as compared to the second  quarter of 2014.  Of the decrease in aviation segment revenue, $1.8 billion was due to a decrease in the average price per gallon sold as a result of lower average jet fuel prices in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, which was partially offset by $0.5 billion principally due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers.

 

Our marine segment revenue for the  second quarter of 2015 was $2.8 billion, a decrease of $0.7 billion, or 20.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.  Of the decrease in marine segment revenue, $2.1 billion was due to a decrease in the average price per metric ton sold as a result of lower average marine fuel prices in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, which was partially offset by $1.4 billion due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers.

 

Our land segment revenue for the second quarter of 2015 was $2.5 billion, a decrease of $0.9 billion, or 25.7%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.  Of the decrease in land segment revenue, $1.2 billion was due to a decrease in the average price per gallon sold as a result of lower average land fuel prices in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, which was partially offset by $0.3 billion principally due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers.

 

Gross Profit.  Our gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $190.4 million, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 0.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.  Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

Our aviation segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $85.0 million, an increase of $3.2 million, or 3.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Of the increase in aviation segment gross profit, $9.1 million was due to gross profit from acquired businesses and $9.0 million was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers. This increase was partially offset by $14.9 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold due to fluctuations in customer mix.

 

Our marine segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $41.8 million, a decrease of $7.0 million, or 14.3%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.  Of the decrease in marine segment gross profit, $25.9 million was due to lower gross profit per metric ton sold principally due to limited price volatility in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, which was partially offset by $18.9 million in increased volume attributable to new and existing customers.

 

Our land segment gross profit for the second quarter of 2015 was $63.6 million, an increase of $2.7 million, or  4.4%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.  Of the increase in land segment gross profit, $6.5 million was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers, which was partially offset by $3.8 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold due to fluctuations in customer mix.

Our aviation segment income from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $26.0 million, a decrease of $11.2 million, or 30.1%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. This decrease resulted from a $14.4 million increase in operating expenses, which was partially offset by $3.2 million in higher gross profit. Of the increase in operating expenses, $9.6 million was related to the inclusion of acquired businesses and $4.8 million was principally due to increased general and administrative expenses to support our growing global business.

 

Our marine segment income from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $13.6 million, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 34.9%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.  This decrease resulted from $7.0 million in lower gross profit and a $0.3 million increase in operating expenses.

 

Our land segment income from operations for the second quarter of 2015 was $16.5 million, an increase of $2.1 million, or 14.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. This increase resulted from $2.7 million in higher gross profit which was partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in operating expenses. 

 

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the second quarter of 2015 were  $14.5 million, an increase of $1.8 million, or 14.2%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. 

 

Non-Operating Expenses, net.  For the second quarter of 2015, we had non-operating expenses, net of $8.0 million, an increase of $4.8 million as compared to the second quarter of 2014. This increase was principally due to a $2.1 million reduction of equity earnings in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, a $1.7 million increase in interest expense and other financing costs, net, as a result of higher average borrowings in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014, and a $1.0 million increase in foreign currency exchange losses for the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

23


 

Income Taxes.  For the second quarter of 2015, our effective income tax rate was 15.5% and our income tax provision was $5.2 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.1% and an income tax provision of $10.2 million for the second quarter of 2014.  The lower effective income tax rate for the second quarter of 2015 resulted principally from differences in the results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different income tax rates as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest.  For the second quarter of 2015, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share.  Our net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $29.9 million, a  decrease of $18.3 million, or 38.0%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.42 per common share, a decrease of $0.26 per common share, or 38.2%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

 

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our non-GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2015 was $37.9 million, a decrease of $20.0 million, or 34.5%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share for the second quarter of 2015 was $0.53 per common share, a decrease of $0.28 per common share, or 34.6%, as compared to the second quarter of 2014.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets and the executive non-renewal charge primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets and the executive non-renewal charge are useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period over period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are 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 net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to World Fuel and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested RSUs outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Our marine segment revenue for the first six months of 2015 was $5.1 billion, a decrease of $1.9 billion, or 26.9%, as compared to the first six months of 2014.

Our land segment revenue for the first six months of 2015 was $4.6 billion, a decrease of $1.6 billion, or 25.3%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. Of the decrease in land segment revenue, $2.2 billion was due to a decrease in the average price per gallon sold as a result of lower average land fuel prices in the first six months  of 2015 as compared to the first six months of 2014, which was partially offset by $0.6 billion principally due to revenue from acquired businesses.

 

Gross Profit.  Our gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $405.8 million, an increase of $26.3 million, or 6.9%, as compared to the first six months of 2014.  Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

Our aviation segment gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $167.9 million, an increase of $17.2 million, or 11.4%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. Of the increase in aviation segment gross profit, $18.3 million was due to gross profit from acquired businesses and $14.2 million was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers. This increase was partially offset by $15.3 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold due to fluctuations in customer mix.

 

Our marine segment gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $95.7 million, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 1.0%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. Of the decrease in marine segment gross profit, $32.8 million was due to lower gross profit per metric ton sold principally due to limited price volatility in the in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the first six months of 2014, which was partially offset by $31.8 million in increased volume attributable to new and existing customers.

 

Our land segment gross profit for the first six months of 2015 was $142.2 million, an increase of $10.1 million, or 7.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2014.  Of the increase in land segment gross profit, $16.2 million was due to gross profit from acquired businesses and $6.8 million was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers. This increase was partially offset by $12.9 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold due to fluctuations in customer mix.

Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the first six months of 2015 were $292.8 million, an increase of $37.4 million, or 14.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2014.  The following table sets forth our expense categories (in millions):

Our aviation segment income from operations for the first six months of 2015 was $53.8 million, a decrease of $13.4 million, or 19.9%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. This decrease resulted from a $30.6 million increase in operating expenses, which was partially offset by $17.2 million in higher gross profit. Of the increase in operating expenses, $18.1 million was related to the inclusion of acquired businesses,  $3.8 million was related to the termination of the employment agreement of our former Aviation Segment President and $8.7 million was principally due to increased operating expenses to support our growing global business.

 

Our marine segment income from operations for the first six months of 2015 was $39.7 million, a decrease of $2.3 million, or 5.5%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. This decrease resulted from $1.0 million in lower gross profit and a $1.3 million increase in operating expenses.

 

Our land segment income from operations for the first six months of 2015 was $48.3 million, an increase of $7.4 million, or 18.1%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. This increase resulted from $10.1 million in higher gross profit, which was partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in operating expenses. The increase in operating expenses was principally due to expenses related to acquired businesses.  

 

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the first six months of 2015 were $28.8 million, an increase of $2.8 million, or 10.8%, as compared to the first six months of 2014 principally due to increased compensation expenses to support our growing global business.

 

Non-Operating Expenses, net.  For the first six months of 2015, we had non-operating expenses, net of $15.0 million, an increase of $9.3 million as compared to the first six months of 2014. This increase was principally due to a $4.7 million increase in interest expense and other financing costs, net, as a result of higher average borrowings in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the first six months of 2014, a  $3.6 million reduction of equity earnings in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the first six months of 2014 and a $1.0 million increase principally due to foreign currency exchange losses for the first six months of 2015 as compared to the first six months of 2014.

Income Taxes.  For the first six months of 2015, our effective income tax rate was 15.4% and our income tax provision was $15.1 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 18.2% and an income tax provision of $21.5 million for the first six months of 2014.  The lower effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2015 resulted principally from differences in the results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different income tax rates as compared to the first six months of 2014.

 

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest.  For the first six months of 2015, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $2.6 million, an increase of $0.5 million as compared to the first six months of 2014.

 

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share.  Our net income for the first six months of 2015 was $85.5  million, a decrease of $13.5 million, or 13.6%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. Diluted earnings per common share for the first six months of 2015 was $1.20 per common share, a decrease of $0.19 per common share, or 13.7%, as compared to the first six months of 2014.

 

Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our non-GAAP net income for the first six months of 2015 was $102.9 million, a decrease of $13.4 million, or 11.5%, as compared to the first six months of 2014. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share for the first six months of 2015 was $1.44 per common share, an decrease of $0.19 per common share, or -11.7%, as compared to the first six months of 2014.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation, amortization of acquired intangible assets, deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustments, expenses related to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum,  the termination of an employment agreement and the executive non-renewal charge primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Company’s core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets, the expenses related to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum, the termination of an employment agreement 

27


 

and the executive non-renewal charge are useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period over period. In accordance with the fair value provisions applicable to the accounting for business combinations, acquired deferred revenue is often recorded on the opening balance sheet at an amount that is lower than the historical carrying value.  Although this acquisition accounting requirement has no impact on our business or cash flows, it adversely impacts our reported GAAP revenue in the reporting periods following an acquisition. We believe that the exclusion of the deferred revenue purchase accounting adjustment is useful to investors as an additional means to reflect trends of our business and provides investors with financial information that facilitates comparison of both historical and future results.  We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are 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 net income and non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing non-GAAP net income attributable to World Fuel and available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock, stock units, restricted stock entitled to dividends not subject to forfeiture and vested RSUs outstanding during the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Operating Activities.   For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by operating activities was $177.8 million as compared to $102.0 million for the first six months of 2014. The $75.8 million increase in operating cash flows was primarily due to year-over-year changes in assets and liabilities, net of acquisitions.

 

Investing Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash used in investing activities was $24.0 million as compared to $206.8 million for the first six months of 2014. The $182.8 million decrease in cash used in investing activities was principally due to the acquisition of Watson Petroleum in 2014.

 

Financing Activities.   For the six months ended June 30, 2015, net cash provided by financing activities was $34.7 million as compared to $208.2 million for the first six months of 2014. The $173.5 million decrease in cash provided by financing activities was principally due to a $136.3 million decrease in net borrowings under our Credit Facility in the first six months of 2015 as compared to the first  six months of 2014 and $30.0 million of common stock repurchases in the first six months of 2015.

 

Other Liquidity Measures

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents.  As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $489.7 million and $302.3 million, respectively. 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 either prepay or 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.

28


 

Credit Facility and Term Loans. We have a Credit Facility which permits borrowings up to $1.26 billion. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Additionally, the Credit Facility has a sublimit of $400.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances and matures in October 2018. We had outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility totaling $406.0 million and $420.0 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $14.1 million and $14.8 million as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  We also had $337.9 million and $241.3 million in Term Loans outstanding as of June  30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.  As of June  30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the unused portion of our Credit Facility was $839.9 million and $665.2 million, respectively.

Our liquidity, consisting of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Facility fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers as well as commodity prices. Our Credit Facility and our Term Loans contain certain financial and other covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans 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 and our Term Loans, trigger cross‑defaults under certain other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.

Other Credit Lines and Receivables Purchase Agreements.  Additionally, we have other uncommitted credit lines primarily for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and bankers’ acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $207.1 million and $211.4 million, respectively. We also have Receivables Purchase Agreements (“RPAs”) that allow for the sale of up to an aggregate of $375.0 million of our accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2015, we had sold accounts receivable of $165.0 million under the RPAs.

 

Short-Term Debt. As of June 30, 2015, our short-term debt of $22.2 million primarily represents the current maturities (within the next twelve months) of Term Loan borrowings, certain promissory notes related to acquisitions and capital lease obligations. 

 

We believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of June  30, 2015 (of which $97.2 million was available for use by our U.S. subsidiaries without incurring additional costs) and available funds from 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 financial performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided by 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 on terms favorable to us.

 

In June 2015, our Board of Directors renewed its existing common stock repurchase program by replacing the remainder of the existing program and authorizing the purchase of up to $100.0 million in common stock.  The program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of June 30, 2015, we have $100.0 million available to repurchase shares under the share repurchase program.  The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors.

 

Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Except for changes in the contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements described below, there were no other material changes from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015.  For a discussion of these matters, refer to “Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements” in Item 7 of our 2014 10-K Report.

 

 

 

29


 

Contractual Obligations

 

Derivative Obligations.  As of June 30, 2015, our net derivative obligations were $34.0 million, principally due within one year.

 

Purchase Commitment Obligations.  As of June 30, 2015, fixed purchase commitments under our derivative programs amounted to  $88.7 million, principally due within one year.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees. In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit expire within one year from their issuance, and expired letters of credit are renewed as needed.  As of June  30, 2015, we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $221.2 million under our Credit Facility and other uncommitted credit lines. For additional information on our Credit Facility and other credit lines, see the discussion in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.

Item 4.Controls and Procedures

 

Management’s 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 (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial 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 CEO and CFO, 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 CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2015.

 

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, 2015.

 

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 1.Legal Proceedings. 

 

Lac-Mégantic, Quebec

 

We, on behalf of DPTS Marketing, LLC (“DPM”), a crude oil marketing joint venture in which we previously owned a 50% membership interest, purchased crude oil from various producers in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Dakota Petroleum Transport Solutions, LLC (“DPTS”), a crude oil transloading joint venture in which we also previously owned a 50% membership interest, arranged for the transloading of the crude oil for DPM into tank cars at its facility in New Town, North Dakota. We leased the tank cars used in the transloading from a number of third party lessors and subleased these tank cars to DPM. We, on behalf of DPM, contracted with Canadian Pacific Railway (“CPR”) for the transportation of the tank cars and the crude oil from New Town, North Dakota to a customer in New Brunswick, Canada. CPR subcontracted a portion of that route to Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (“MMA”). On July 6, 2013, the freight train operated by MMA with tank cars carrying approximately 50,000 barrels of crude oil derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec (the “Derailment”). The Derailment resulted in significant loss of life, damage to the environment from spilled crude oil and extensive property damage.

 

In 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of third parties, including MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in twenty complaints filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The complaints generally allege wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil and seek economic and compensatory damages, as well as costs. The actions were removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the “IL District Court”) and subsequently reassigned to a single judge in the IL District Court (other than one action that was remanded to state court prior to reassignment and another that was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs).

 

The plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to have these actions remanded to state court. We filed a motion in the United States District Court for the District of Maine (the “ME District Court”), where MMA’s bankruptcy is pending, to transfer all of these actions to that court. On March 21, 2014, the ME District Court granted the transfer motion.  On April 4, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration of the order granting the transfer motion and a motion requesting the ME District Court abstain from exercising jurisdiction over the transferred cases.  The motion for reconsideration was denied and the motion for abstention remains pending. On May 1, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a notice stating their intention to appeal the order granting the transfer motion to the First Circuit Court of Appeals.  On June 17, 2014, the ME District Court entered a consent order staying proceedings in the transferred cases pending the appeal.  On March 23, 2015, the ME District Court entered an amended consent order staying proceedings in the transferred cases pending the appeal but allowing plaintiffs to file additional cases.  As a result, in June 2015, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with numerous third parties were named as defendants in seventeen new complaints filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois.  The allegations, claims and damages sought against us in these new actions are substantially the same as in the transferred cases.  Additionally, in June 2015, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with numerous third parties were named as defendants in two class actions filed in the District Court of Dallas County, Texas.  The class action complaints generally allege wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil and seek economic, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs.  As discussed in greater detail below, we expect these new actions will be stayed in conjunction with the Settlement Agreement (as defined below).    

 

In 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of other third parties, including CPR, MMA and certain of its affiliates, several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, as well as the intended purchaser and certain suppliers of the crude oil, were named as defendants in a motion filed in Quebec Superior Court to authorize the bringing of a class-action lawsuit seeking economic, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs (the “Quebec Class Action”). The motion generally alleges wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil. On February 24, 2015, the Superior Court of Quebec issued an order staying the class action proceedings in light of settlement agreements reached by several other defendants with the Trustee and the monitor in MMA’s Canadian bankruptcy (the “Monitor”).  On March 20, 2015, by terms of the order dated February 24, 2015, the stay was lifted in respect of all non-settling defendants, including us.

 

 

 

 

 

33


 

In 2013, the Quebec Minister for Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks (the “Minister”) issued an order requiring MMA and us to recover the spilled crude oil caused by the incident and to otherwise fully remediate the impact of the incident on the environment. The Minister subsequently issued a modified order, to which CPR was added as a party. The requirements of the modified order with respect to us are not materially different from the initial order (the initial order and modified order are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Order”). We have filed a contestation of the Order before the Tribunal administratif du Québec, an administrative body responsible for hearing such contestations, that challenges the legality and validity of the Order on various grounds.  In July and September of 2014, we voluntarily entered into agreements with the government of Quebec to perform sediment characterization work in Lake Mégantic and the Chaudière River and certain remediation work in the Chaudière River.  The associated cost of these activities was not significant and is covered by insurance.  These agreements were made without admission of liability and under full reservation of rights. 

 

On January 30, 2014, the Trustee filed an adversary proceeding against us, and certain of our subsidiaries, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Maine alleging negligence in the failure to provide the proper and safe transportation of crude oil, and seeking economic damages, as well as costs and expenses associated with MMA’s lawsuits arising from the incident.  On May 29, 2014, we and our named subsidiaries filed an answer to the Trustee’s complaint.  On January 9, 2015, the Trustee filed an amended complaint in the adversary proceeding naming CPR and Irving Oil Limited as defendants, and on May 18, 2015, the Trustee filed a second amended complaint naming SMBC Rail Services, LLC as a defendant.  Discovery in the case has commenced. 

 

In addition to these proceedings, we have received demands for defense and/or indemnification from certain tank car lessors pursuant to our lease agreements with such parties. In connection with these demands, three of our tank car lessors have filed actions against us seeking a declaratory judgment on their indemnification claims and reimbursement for the value of certain leased tank cars that were lost or destroyed in the Derailment.  Specifically, on July 28, 2014, The CIT Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. and CIT Group Inc. filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota alleging breach of contract and seeking declaratory relief and economic damages, as well as costs. On September 19, 2014, we filed a motion to dismiss certain counts of the complaint, which has not yet been ruled on by the court.  On October 10, 2014, CIT filed a motion for partial summary judgment, which motion is currently pending before the court.  On July 9, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement with CIT resolving all claims between the parties arising out of the Derailment.  The settlement is conditioned on upon Final Approval of the Settlement Agreement (as each term is defined and discussed in greater detail below).  As a result of our settlement with CIT, on July 21, 2015, CIT filed a motion to dismiss its complaint. Furthermore, on September 5, 2014, General Electric Railcar Services Corporation (“GE”) filed a complaint against us in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida alleging breach of contract and seeking declaratory relief and economic damages, as well as costs.  On December 5, 2014, GE amended its complaint and on December 22, 2014, we filed a motion to dismiss certain counts of the amended complaint, which the court has not yet decided.  Finally, on November 11, 2014, SMBC Rail Services (“SMBC”) filed a complaint against us in the Northern District of Texas alleging breach of contract and seeking declaratory relief and economic damages, costs, and injunctive relief prohibiting us from entering into any settlement agreement that would impair the obligations owed to SMBC under the lease agreement.  On November 18, 2014, SMBC filed a motion for a preliminary injunction that sought to prohibit us from continuing settlement negotiations with the Trustee, the Monitor or other parties.  We filed an opposition to the preliminary injunction on December 2, 2014, and a motion to dismiss certain counts of the complaint the following day.  On December 29, 2014, the court denied SMBC’s motion for a preliminary injunction.  On June 18, 2015, the court granted our motion to dismiss and dismissed SMBC’s claims without prejudice.

 

On June 8, 2015, we entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with the Trustee, Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Canada Co. (“MMAC”), and the monitor (the “Monitor”) in MMAC’s Canadian bankruptcy (collectively, the “MMA Parties”) to resolve all claims arising out of the Derailment.  Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, we will contribute US$110 million (the “Settlement Payment”) to a compensation fund established to compensate parties who suffered losses as a result of the Derailment. As part of the settlement, we will also assign to the Trustee and MMAC certain claims we have against third parties arising out of the Derailment.

 

In consideration of the Settlement Payment and the assignment of claims to the Trustee and MMAC, we, as well as our former joint ventures, DPM and DPTS and each of their affiliates (collectively, the “WFS Parties”), will receive the benefit of the global releases and injunctions set forth in the respective bankruptcy plans filed by the Trustee in the U.S. and by MMAC in Canada (the “U.S. Bankruptcy Plan” and the “CCAA Plan” respectively, each a “Plan” and collectively the “Plans”). The effect of these global releases and injunctions will be to bar all claims which may exist now or in the future against the WFS Parties arising out of the Derailment, other than criminal claims which by law may not be released.

 

 

34


 

Neither the global releases and injunctions set forth in the Plans nor our obligation to pay the Settlement Amount will be effective unless and until the Plans are approved by creditors in both the U.S. and Canadian bankruptcies, an order sanctioning the CCAA Plan and confirming the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan is issued by the Canadian and U.S. bankruptcy courts, respectively, and each order becomes final and non-appealable (“Final Approval”). 

 

On June 9, 2015, MMAC’s creditors voted to approve the CCAA Plan.  In connection with CCAA Plan sanction process, CPR objected to the jurisdiction of the Canadian court and the sanctioning of the CCAA Plan.  On July 13, 2015, the bankruptcy court in Canada issued orders overruling CPR’s objections and sanctioning the CCAA Plan, both of which remain subject to appeal.  On July 15, 2015, the U.S. bankruptcy court held a hearing to consider approval of the Trustee’s disclosure statement related to the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan.  In connection with that hearing, certain parties objected to approval of the disclosure statement, including CPR.  At the hearing, the bankruptcy court in the U.S. overruled all of the objections, approved the disclosure statement and established certain dates for the process of confirming the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan, which dates are subject to change.  Creditors in the U.S. bankruptcy have not yet voted on the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan and the U.S. bankruptcy court has not yet issued a ruling on the U.S. Bankruptcy Plan, which remains subject to challenge by third parties objecting to the Plan.  If an order is issued by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court confirming the Plan, such order would be subject to appeal.  As a result, Final Approval of the Plans and the related timing remain uncertain.

 

Under the terms of Settlement Agreement, the Trustee and MMAC agreed to move to stay, pursuant to relevant sections of U.S. or Canadian bankruptcy codes, any and all claims or proceedings that are currently pending or subsequently filed against the WFS Parties prior to Final Approval of the Plans.  Consequently, on June 26, 2015, upon motion of the Trustee, the U.S. bankruptcy court entered an order staying the Trustee’s adversary proceeding against us.  In conjunction with the Settlement Agreement,  plaintiffs’ counsel in the Quebec Class Action, plaintiffs’ counsel in the U.S. personal injury cases and counsel for the Province of Quebec agreed, upon execution of the Settlement Agreement by the WFS Parties, to stay the Quebec Class Action, the U.S. personal injury cases and the Order respectively. Consistent with the Settlement Agreement, we expect that the actions pending against us in Maine, Illinois and Texas, the Quebec Class Action, as well as the Order (and related contestation before the TAQ) will all be stayed as to the WFS Parties in due course. 

 

We believe the claims against us in the Quebec Class Action, the Adversary Proceeding, the  cases pending against us in Maine, Illinois and Texas and the claims filed by lessors are without merit. To the extent these actions are not stayed, or if the Plans do not receive Final Approval, we intend to vigorously defend against such claims and pursue any and all defenses available.  Similarly, to the extent the Order and related contestation before the TAQ is not stayed or if the Plans do not receive Final Approval, we will continue to challenge both the legality and validity of the Order.  If and when the Plans receive Final Approval, the global releases and injunctions set forth in the Plans will act to bar all of these claims.

 

In December 2014, we sold our 50% interest in DPM and DPTS to certain subsidiaries of Dakota Plains Holdings, Inc. (“DAKP”), our partner in the joint ventures.  In connection with the sale transaction, we agreed to indemnify DAKP and certain of its affiliates, including DPM and DPTS, for third party claims for bodily injury or property damage arising from the Derailment.  Pursuant to the agreement, we will control the defense of DAKP and the joint ventures for claims associated with the Derailment.  In addition, DAKP assigned to us all recoveries from third parties and under applicable insurance policies held by DAKP and the joint ventures for claims arising out of the Derailment. Finally, DAKP also agreed to indemnify us for certain costs and expenses arising out of the Derailment up to $10.0 million.  As noted above, under the Settlement Agreement, DAKP and its affiliates are entitled to receive the benefit of the releases and injunctions set forth in the Plans.

 

Additional claims, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations and orders may be filed, commenced or issued with respect to the incident, which may involve civil claims for damages or governmental investigative, regulatory or enforcement actions against us.

Exhibit 10.1

 

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT

 

1.  Grant of Award.  The Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of World Fuel Services Corporation, a Florida corporation (the “Company”), has awarded to            (the “Participant”), effective as of            (the “Grant Date”), an award of           restricted stock units (the “RSUs”) corresponding to the same number of shares (the “Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value US $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”).  The RSUs have been granted under the Company’s 2006 Omnibus Plan, as amended and restated (the “Plan”), which is incorporated herein for all purposes, and the grant of RSUs shall be subject to the terms, provisions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan.  As a condition to entering into this Agreement, and as a condition to the issuance of any Shares (or any other securities of the Company), the Participant agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Plan. 

2.  Definitions.  Capitalized terms and phrases used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth below. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined in this Agreement, shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the definitions of “Cause”, “Disability”, “Good Reason” and “Change of Control”, as used herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Employment Agreement (as defined in Section 2(b) below).

(a)  Determination Date” means the date as soon as reasonably practicable following the completion of the Measurement Period, but in no event later than March 15, 2015, as determined by the Committee, on which the Committee determines whether the Performance Goal has been achieved. 

(b)  Employment Agreement”  means any employment agreement or individual executive severance agreement by and between the Company and the Participant, as in effect on the Grant Date.

(c)  Measurement Period” means the one (1) year period from January 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014.

(d)  Performance Goal” means the goal set forth on Schedule A.

(e)   Section 409A means Section 409A of Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

(f)   Termination Date means the date on which the Participant is no longer an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary. 

3.  Vesting and Forfeiture of Shares(a)  Performance Goal.    (i)   On the Determination Date, the Committee shall determine whether the Performance Goal has been achieved.  Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, the delivery of Shares with respect to the RSUs is contingent on the attainment of the Performance Goal and, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3, all outstanding RSUs will be immediately forfeited on the Determination Date unless the Committee determines that the Performance Goal has been satisfied.    Except as

 


 

 

otherwise provided in this Section 3, there shall be no proportionate or partial vesting of the RSUs prior to the applicable Vesting Date (as defined in Section 3(b) below)

(ii)  The RSUs are intended to qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code.  The Committee retains the sole and plenary discretion to make any adjustment permitted by Section 3.2 of the Plan or to reduce or eliminate the number of RSUs in accordance with the terms of the Plan for any reason deemed appropriate by the Committee, even if the Performance Goal has been attained and without regard to the Employment Agreement or any similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.

(b)  Service-Based Vesting.  Subject to achievement of the Performance Goal and to the provisions of Section 3(d), 20% of the RSUs shall become vested on each of March 15, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 (each such date a “Vesting Date”);  provided,  however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 3(d), the RSUs shall only become vested if the Participant is continuously employed by the Company or any Subsidiary from the Grant Date through and until the applicable Vesting Date.

(c)  The Participant expressly acknowledges that the terms of this Section 3 shall supersede any inconsistent provision in the Employment Agreement or any similar agreement between the Participant and the Company or any Subsidiary.

(d)  The vesting of the RSUs shall be subject to this Section 3(d):

(i)  Change of Control. (A)  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee as set forth in Section 3(d)(i)(B) hereof, in the event that a Change of Control occurs while the Participant is employed by the Company or any Subsidiary, the Participant shall immediately become fully vested upon the Change of Control in a pro-rated portion of any outstanding RSUs determined by multiplying the number of outstanding RSUs that would otherwise have vested on the next Vesting Date following the Change of Control by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of days that have elapsed between the Vesting Date immediately preceding the Change of Control and the Change of Control (or, if the Change of Control occurs before the first Vesting Date, between the Grant Date and the Change of Control), and (B) the denominator of which shall be 365 (such fraction, the “CIC Ratio”) and the portion of the RSUs that do not vest pursuant to this Section 3(d)(i)(A) shall be immediately forfeited.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Change of Control occurs prior to the Determination Date and this Section 3(d)(i)(A) is applicable, the Performance Goal shall be deemed satisfied and the Participant shall vest in a pro-rated portion of the RSUs on the Change of Control determined by multiplying the number of RSUs that would otherwise have vested on the first Vesting Date by the CIC Ratio.  

(B)  Notwithstanding Section 3(d)(i)(A) hereof, if in the event of a Change of Control the Committee determines that the successor company shall assume or substitute the RSUs as of the date of the Change of Control, then the vesting of the RSUs that are assumed or substituted shall not be so accelerated as a result of such Change of Control; provided,  however, that, if the Change of Control occurs

2


 

 

prior to the Determination Date and the RSUs are so assumed or substituted, the RSUs shall no longer be subject to the Performance Goal.  For this purpose, the RSUs shall be considered assumed or substituted only if (1) the RSUs that are assumed or substituted vest at the times that such RSUs would vest pursuant to this Agreement, (2) the economic terms of the RSUs that are assumed or substituted are substantially comparable to the economic terms of the RSUs prior to the Change of Control and (3) immediately following the Change of Control, the RSUs confer the right to receive for each unvested RSU held immediately prior to the Change of Control, the consideration (whether stock, cash or other securities or property) received by holders of Shares in the transaction constituting a Change of Control for each Share held on the effective date of such transaction (and if holders were offered a choice of consideration, the type of consideration chosen by the holders of a majority of the outstanding Shares); provided,  however, that if such consideration received in the transaction constituting a Change of Control is not solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary, the Committee may provide that the consideration to be received upon the vesting of any RSU will be solely common stock of the successor company or its parent or subsidiary substantially equal in fair market value (on a per share basis) to the per share consideration received by holders of Shares in the transaction constituting a Change of Control.  The determinations of (1) whether the RSUs shall be assumed or substituted in accordance with this Section 3(d)(i)(B) or shall accelerate vesting in accordance with Section 3(d)(i)(A) hereof and (2) in the event that this Section 3(d)(i)(B) is applicable, such substantial equality of value of consideration shall be made by the Committee in its sole discretion and such determinations shall be conclusive and binding.  The award resulting from the assumption or substitution of the RSUs by the successor company shall, except as otherwise provided in this Section 3(d), continue to vest after the Change of Control transaction based solely on the Participant’s continued employment with the successor company and its affiliates through the applicable Vesting Date, and shall be referred to hereafter as the “Acquirer RSUs”.

(ii)  In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated prior to an applicable Vesting Date due to the Participant’s death or Disability, regardless of whether such termination occurs prior to, on or after the Determination Date or prior to or after a Change of Control,  the Participant shall immediately become fully vested upon the Termination Date in a pro-rated portion of any outstanding RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) determined by multiplying the number of outstanding RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) that would otherwise have vested on the next Vesting Date following the Termination Date by a fraction, (A) the numerator of which shall be the number of days that have elapsed between the Vesting Date immediately preceding the Termination Date and the Termination Date (or, if the Termination Date occurs before the first Vesting Date, between the Grant Date and the Termination Date), and (B) the denominator of which shall be 365 (such fraction, the “Pro Rata Ratio”) and the portion of the RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) that do not vest pursuant to this Section 3(d)(ii) shall be immediately forfeited;  provided,

however,  that, in the event such termination occurs on or after the Determination Date, the Committee has determined that the Performance Goal has been achieved

(iii)  In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated prior to an applicable Vesting Date by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause[, due to the Company’s failure to renew the Participant’s employment under Section 1 of the Employment Agreement] or by the Participant for Good Reason, and (A) prior to a Change of Control and prior to the Determination Date, the vesting of the RSUs shall be determined by the Committee following the end of the Measurement Period, subject to the achievement of the Performance Goal and, if the Performance Goal has been achieved, the Participant shall vest in a pro-rated portion of the RSUs on the Determination Date determined by multiplying the number of RSUs that would otherwise have vested on the first Vesting Date by the Pro Rata Ratio;  provided,  however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Change of Control occurs following such Termination Date but prior to the Determination Date, the Performance Goal shall be deemed satisfied as of the date of the Change of Control and the pro-rated vesting of the RSUs described in this clause (A) shall nevertheless apply, or (B)  on or following the Determination Date and regardless of whether such termination occurs prior to or after a Change of Control,  the Participant shall vest in a pro-rated portion of the RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) on the Termination Date determined by multiplying the number of RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) that would otherwise have vested on the next Vesting Date following the Termination Date by the Pro Rata Ratio.  Any RSUs (and, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) that do not vest pursuant to this Section 3(d)(iii) shall be immediately forfeited.    

(iv)  In the event that the Participant’s employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries is terminated prior to an applicable Vesting Date for any reason other than the Participant’s death or Disability, a termination without Cause or a termination for Good Reason, then the Participant shall immediately forfeit all of the unvested RSUs (and, if applicable, all unvested Acquirer RSUs) on the Termination Date.  Termination of employment with the Company to accept immediate re-employment with a Subsidiary, or vice-versa, or termination of employment with a Subsidiary to accept immediate re-employment with a different Subsidiary, shall not be deemed termination of employment for purposes of this Section 3. 

4.  Adjustment. The number of RSUs (and, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) are subject to adjustment by the Committee in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of the Common Stock or the payment of a stock dividend on Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of Shares effected without receipt or payment of consideration by the Company.

5.  Settlement of Awards

(a)  Delivery of Shares.  The Company shall deliver the Shares corresponding to the vested RSUs (and, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) to the Participant within 30 days following the applicable Vesting Date; provided that, (i) in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment due to death or Disability, the Company shall deliver the Shares with respect to

4


 

 

vested RSUs (and, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) outstanding on the Termination Date within 30 days following the Termination Date, (ii) in the event of the Participant’s termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason, the Company shall deliver the Shares with respect to vested RSUs (and, if applicable, consideration corresponding to Acquirer RSUs) (with respect to any RSUs that remain subject to satisfaction of the Performance Goal, only in the event that the Performance Goal is satisfied)  outstanding on the Termination Date within 30 days following the Termination Date or if such termination occurs prior to the Determination Date, as soon as practicable following the Determination Date, but in no event later than March 15, 2015, and (iii) in the event of a Change of Control pursuant to which a portion of the RSUs accelerate vesting in accordance with Section 3(d)(i)(A) hereof, the Company shall deliver Shares corresponding to vested RSUs to the Participant within 10 days following such Change of Control. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the RSUs (and, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) shall be settled no later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the year in which they are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(d)).

(b)  Death of Participant. By written notice to the Company’s Secretary, the Participant may designate a beneficiary or beneficiaries to whom any vested RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) and the Participant’s Cash Account (as defined below) shall be transferred upon the death of the Participant.  In the absence of such designation, or if no designated beneficiary survives the Participant, such vested RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) and the Participant’s Cash Account shall be transferred to the legal representative of the Participant’s estate. No such transfer of the RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs)  shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Committee shall have been furnished with (i) written notice thereof, (ii) a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Committee deems necessary to establish the validity of such transfer or right to convert and (iii) an executed agreement by the transferee, administrator, or executor (as applicable) to (A) comply with all the terms of this Agreement that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and (B) be bound by the acknowledgements made by the Participant in connection with this grant.

(c)  Settlement Conditioned Upon Satisfaction of Tax Obligations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’s obligation to deliver any consideration pursuant to this Section 5 shall be subject to, and conditioned upon, satisfaction of the Participant’s obligations relating to the applicable Federal, state, local and foreign withholding or other taxes pursuant to Section 9 hereof.

6.  Rights with Respect to Shares Represented by RSUs.

(a)  No Rights as Shareholder until Delivery.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6, the Participant shall not have any rights, benefits or entitlements with respect to any Shares subject to this Agreement unless and until the Shares have been delivered to the Participant.  On or after delivery of the Shares, the Participant shall have, with respect to the Shares delivered, all of the rights of a shareholder of the Company, including the right to vote the Shares and the right to receive all dividends, if any, as may be declared on the Shares from time to time. 

5


 

 

(b)  Dividend Equivalents

(i)  Cash Dividends.  As of each date on which the Company pays a cash dividend with respect to its Shares, the Company shall credit to a bookkeeping account (the “Cash Account”) for the Participant an amount equal to the cash dividend that would have been payable with respect to the Shares corresponding to the RSUs (or, if applicable, shares corresponding to Acquirer RSUs), excluding any RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) which have been forfeited, as if those Shares had been issued and outstanding as of the dividend payment date.  Upon the vesting of any RSUs hereunder (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs), the Participant shall vest in and have the right to receive that portion of the Cash Account which relates to any such vested RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs). The value of the Participant’s Cash Account shall vest and be distributable to the Participant at the same time as the Shares corresponding to the vested RSUs (or, if applicable, the consideration corresponding to Acquirer RSUs) are distributed to the Participant.  

(ii)  Stock Dividends.  As of each date on which the Company pays a stock dividend with respect to its Shares, the Shares corresponding to the RSUs shall be increased by the stock dividend that would have been payable with respect to the Shares that correspond to the RSUs, and shall be subject to the same vesting requirements as the RSUs to which they relate and, to the extent earned and vested, shall be distributed at the same time as the Shares corresponding to the vested RSUs are distributed.

7.  Transfers.  The Participant may not, directly or indirectly, sell, pledge or otherwise transfer any RSUs or Acquirer RSUs or any rights with respect to the Cash Account.

8.  Registration Statement.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that the Company has filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), to register the Shares under the 1933 Act. The Participant acknowledges receipt of the Prospectus prepared by the Company in connection with the Registration Statement. Prior to conversion of the RSUs into Shares, the Participant shall execute and deliver to the Company such representations in writing as may be requested by the Company in order for it to comply with the applicable requirements of Federal and state securities law. 

9.  Taxes; Potential Forfeiture

(a)  Payment of Taxes.  On or prior to the date on which any Shares corresponding to any vested RSUs (or, if applicable, consideration in respect of Acquirer RSUs) are delivered or cash attributable to the Participant’s vested Cash Account is paid, the Participant shall remit to the Company an amount sufficient to satisfy any applicable Federal, state, local and foreign withholding or other taxes. No certificate for any Shares corresponding to any RSUs (or, if applicable, consideration corresponding to Acquirer RSUs) which have vested, uncertificated Shares or any cash attributable to the Participant’s Cash Account, shall be delivered or paid to the Participant until the foregoing obligation has been satisfied.

(b)  Alternative Payment Methods and Company Rights.  The Company may, at its option, permit the Participant to satisfy his obligations under this Section 9, by tendering to the Company a portion of the Shares (or, if applicable, consideration in respect of Acquirer

6


 

 

RSUs) that otherwise would be delivered to the Participant pursuant to the RSU (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs).  In the event that the Participant fails to satisfy his or her obligations under this Section 9, the Participant agrees that the Company shall have the right to satisfy such obligations on the Participant’s behalf by taking any one or more of the following actions (such actions to be in addition to any other remedies available to the Company): (1) withholding payment of any fees or any other amounts payable to the Participant (e.g., expense reimbursements), (2) selling all or a portion of the Shares underlying the RSUs (or, if applicable, consideration underlying Acquirer RSUs) in the open market or (3) withholding and canceling all or a portion of the Shares corresponding to the vested RSUs (or, if applicable, consideration corresponding to Acquirer RSUs). Any acquisition of Shares corresponding to RSUs (or, if applicable, consideration corresponding to Acquirer RSUs) by the Company as contemplated hereby is expressly approved by the Committee as part of the approval of this Agreement.  The Participant agrees that the Company shall have the right to satisfy federal, state, local and foreign withholding and other applicable taxes in respect of any distribution from the Participant’s Cash Account by withholding a portion of such Cash Account sufficient to satisfy such obligations.  The tax consequences to the Participant (including, without limitation, federal, state, local and foreign income tax consequences) with respect to the RSUs (or, if applicable Acquirer RSUs) (including without limitation the grant, vesting, settlement and/or forfeiture thereof) and the Participant’s Cash Account are the sole responsibility of the Participant.    

(c)  Forfeiture for Failure to Pay Taxes.  If and to the extent that (i) the Participant fails to satisfy his obligations under this Section 9 and (ii) the Company does not exercise its right to satisfy those obligations under Section 9(b) hereof with respect to any RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) or any portion of the vested Cash Account within 30 days after the date on which the Shares corresponding to the vested RSUs (or, if applicable, the consideration corresponding to vested Acquirer RSUs) or vested Cash Account otherwise would be delivered pursuant to Sections 5 and 6(b) hereof, as applicable, the Participant shall immediately forfeit any rights with respect to the portion of the RSUs (or, if applicable, Acquirer RSUs) or vested Cash Account to which such failure relates.

10.  No Effect on Employment.  Except as otherwise provided in the Employment Agreement, the Participant’s employment with the Company and any Subsidiary is at-will. Accordingly, subject to the terms of the Employment Agreement, nothing in this Agreement or the Plan shall confer upon the Participant any right to continue to be employed by the Company or any Subsidiary or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of the Company or any Subsidiary, which are hereby expressly reserved, to terminate the employment of the Participant at any time for any lawful reason whatsoever or for no reason, with or without Cause and with or without notice. Such reservation of rights can be modified only in an express written contract executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company.

11.  Stock Retention Policy.  The Participant understands that the Committee has adopted a policy that requires the Participant to retain ownership of one-half (50%) of the Shares underlying the RSUs acquired by the Participant hereunder (net of the number of Shares which would need to be sold to satisfy any applicable taxes owed upon vesting), for a period of three (3) years after vesting of such RSUs (or until the Participant’s employment with, and services for, the Company and its Subsidiaries terminate, if earlier).  The Participant agrees to comply

7


 

 

with such policy and any modifications thereof that may be adopted by the Committee from time to time.

12.  Stock Ownership Policy.  The Participant understands that the Committee has adopted a policy that requires the Participant to own a multiple of the Participant’s base salary, determined by leadership level, in Common Stock.  The Participant agrees to comply with such policy and any modifications thereof that may be adopted by the Committee from time to time.

13.  Other Benefits.  Except as provided below, nothing contained in this Agreement shall affect the Participant’s right to participate in and receive benefits under and in accordance with the then current provisions of any pension, insurance or other employee welfare plan or program of the Company or any Subsidiary. 

14.  Binding Agreement.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the heirs, legatees, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

15.  Plan Governs.  This Agreement is subject to all of the terms and provisions of the Plan. In the event of a conflict between one or more provisions of this Agreement and one or more provisions of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall govern.

16.  Governing Law/Jurisdiction.  The validity and effect of this Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to any conflict-of-law rule or principle that would give effect to the laws of another jurisdiction. Any dispute, controversy or question of interpretation arising under, out of, in connection with or in relation to this Agreement or any amendments hereof, or any breach or default hereunder, shall be submitted to, and determined and settled by, litigation in the state or Federal courts in Miami-Dade County, Florida.  Each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and Federal courts sitting in Miami-Dade County, Florida. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any litigation in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

17.  Committee Authority.  The Committee shall have all discretion, power, and authority to interpret the Plan and this Agreement and to adopt such rules for the administration, interpretation and application of the Plan as are consistent therewith. All actions taken and all interpretations and determinations made by the Committee in good faith shall be final and binding upon the Participant, the Company and all other interested persons, and shall be given the maximum deference permitted by law. No member of the Committee shall be personally liable for any action, determination or interpretation made in good faith with respect to the Plan or this Agreement.

18.  Captions.  The captions provided herein are for convenience only and are not to serve as a basis for the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

19.  Agreement Severable.  In the event that any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be severable from, and such invalidity or

8


 

 

unenforceability shall not be construed to have any effect on, the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

20.  Miscellaneous.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties on the subjects covered. The Participant expressly warrants that he or she is not executing this Agreement in reliance on any promises, representations or inducements other than those contained herein. This Agreement and the Plan can be amended or terminated by the Company to the extent permitted under the Plan. Amendments hereto shall be effective only if set forth in a written statement or contract executed by a duly authorized member of the Committee. The Participant shall at any time and from time to time after the date of this Agreement, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, receipts, acknowledgments, acceptances and assurances as may reasonably be required to give effect to the terms hereof, or otherwise to satisfy and perform Participant’s obligations hereunder.

21.  Compliance with Section 409A

(a)  It is intended that the RSUs awarded pursuant to this Agreement and the Cash Account be exempt from Section 409A, because it is believed that the Agreement does not provide for a deferral of compensation and accordingly that the Agreement does not constitute a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A.  If and to the extent that the Committee believes that the RSUs (including, if applicable, the Acquirer RSUs) or rights to the Cash Account may constitute a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” under Section 409A, the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (and/or the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Section 409A, and the Committee, in its sole discretion and without the consent of the Participant, may amend this Agreement (and the provisions of the Plan applicable thereto) if and to the extent that the Committee determines necessary or appropriate to comply with applicable requirements of Section 409A.

(b)  If and to the extent required to comply with Section 409A:

(i)  Payments or delivery of Shares (or, if applicable, consideration in respect of Acquirer RSUs) or cash in respect of the Participant’s Cash Account under this Agreement may not be made earlier than (u) the Participant’s “separation from service”, (v) the date the Participant becomes “disabled”, (w) the Participant’s death, (x) a “specified time (or pursuant to a fixed schedule)” specified in this Agreement at the date of the deferral of such compensation or (y) a “change in the ownership or effective control” of the corporation, or in the “ownership of a substantial portion of the assets” of the corporation;

(ii)  The time or schedule for any payment of the deferred compensation may not be accelerated, except to the extent provided in applicable Treasury Regulations or other applicable guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service; and

(iii)  If the Participant is a “specified employee”, a distribution on account of a “separation from service” may not be made before the date which is six (6) months after

9


 

 

the date of the Participant’s “separation from service” (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death).

For purposes of the foregoing, the terms in quotations shall have the same meanings as those terms have for purposes of Section 409A, and the limitations set forth herein shall be applied in such manner (and only to the extent) as shall be necessary to comply with any requirements of Section 409A that are applicable to this Agreement.

(c)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company does not make any representation to the Participant that any consideration awarded pursuant to this Agreement is exempt from, or satisfies, the requirements of Section 409A, and the Company shall have no liability or other obligation to indemnify or hold harmless the Participant or any beneficiary for any tax, additional tax, interest or penalties that the Participant or any beneficiary may incur in the event that any provision of this Agreement, or any amendment or modification thereof, or any other action taken with respect thereto, that either is consented to by the Participant or that the Company reasonably believes should not result in a violation of Section 409A, is deemed to violate any of the requirements of Section 409A.

22.  Unfunded Agreement.   The rights of the Participant under this Agreement with respect to the Company’s obligation to distribute Shares corresponding to vested RSUs (or, if applicable, consideration in respect of Acquirer RSUs) and the value of the Participant’s vested Cash Account, if any, shall be unfunded and shall not be greater than the rights of an unsecured general creditor of the Company.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the Grant Date.
