Raises Full Year 2021 Adjusted EPS Guidance

FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a leading global business payments company, today completed the acquisition of Associated Foreign Exchange (AFEX), an international cross-border payments provider. By acquiring AFEX, FLEETCOR® builds upon its corporate payments line of business and strengthens its position as one of the largest global business payment companies in the world.

AFEX delivers global cross-border payment solutions that help small- and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) break down currency barriers to facilitate international growth.

Combined, AFEX and Cambridge process cross-border payments in more than 145 currencies for approximately 30,000 customers processing more than $65 billion in annual volume.

“With the combination of AFEX and our current cross-border business, we expect the enhanced scale and breadth to accelerate revenue growth in our corporate payments business. The complementary geographic nature of the customer bases provides an immediate boost to our business, and this year, we anticipate the acquisition will be accretive to 2021 adjusted EPS, as we execute our integration plan,” said Ron Clarke, chairman and chief executive officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc.

“We are raising our full year 2021 adjusted EPS guidance range to $12.32 - $12.88 as a result of the completed AFEX acquisition,” said Charles Freund, chief financial officer, FLEETCOR Technologies, Inc.
