Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited) 
1. Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
 
General

World Fuel Services Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Florida in July 1984 and along with its consolidated subsidiaries is referred to collectively in this Quarterly Report on Form 10‑Q (“10-Q Report”) as “World Fuel,” “we,” “our” and “us.”

We are a leading global fuel services company, principally engaged in the distribution of fuel and related products and services in the aviation, marine and land transportation industries. In recent years, we have expanded our product and service offerings to include energy advisory services and supply fulfillment with respect to natural gas and power and transaction and payment management solutions to commercial and industrial customers. Our intention is to become a leading global energy management company offering a full suite of energy advisory, management and fulfillment services, and technology solutions as well as sustainability products and services across the energy product spectrum. We also seek to become a leading transaction and payment management company, offeringoffer payment management solutions to commercial and industrial customers, principally in the aviation, land and marine transportation industries. We will continue to focus on enhancing the portfolio of products and services we provide based on changes in customer demand, including sustainability offerings and renewable fuel products.

We prepared the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements following the requirements of the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”) can be condensed or omitted.

Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. The information included in this 10-Q Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes included in our 20182019 Annual Report on Form 10-K (“20182019 10-K Report”). Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements and associatedaccompanying notes may not add due to rounding. All percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.

Our net incomeCOVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19, which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has created significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption in the global economy. The rapid spread of the virus has caused governments around the world to implement stringent measures to help control its spread, including, without limitation, quarantines, “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” orders, social-distancing mandates, travel restrictions, and closures or reduced operations for businesses, governmental agencies, schools and other institutions, among others.

Beginning in the quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, the aviation, marine and land transportation industries, along with global economic conditions generally, have been significantly disrupted by the pandemic. A large number of our customers in these industries have experienced substantial reductions in their operations due to travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, as well as the extended shutdown of various businesses in affected regions. Furthermore, government measures have also led to a precipitous decline in fuel prices in response to concerns about demand for fuel, further exacerbated by recent disagreements regarding crude oil production levels between the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) members and other oil-producing countries such as Russia, as well as related global storage considerations.

While the pandemic and associated impacts on economic activity had a limited adverse effect on our operating results for the nine months ending September 30, 2019quarterly period ended March 31, 2020, we have since seen a significant decline in demand and related sales volume as large sectors of $122.4 million, or $1.84 per diluted common share, includes net discrete tax benefits of $6.6 million ($3.17 million recordedthe global economy have been adversely impacted by the crisis. In response to these developments, in March 20192020, we took swift action to ensure the safety of our employees and 3.48 million recordedother stakeholders, and initiated a number of initiatives relating to cost reduction, liquidity and operating efficiencies.

We make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our financial statements and accompanying notes as of the date of the financial statements. We assessed accounting estimates that require consideration of forecasted financial information, including, but not limited to, our allowance for credit losses, the carrying value of our goodwill, intangible assets, and other long-lived assets. This assessment was conducted in September 2019)the context of information reasonably available to us, as well as our consideration of the future potential impacts of COVID-19 on our business as of March 31, 2020. At this time, we are unable to predict with respectspecificity the ultimate impact of the crisis, as it will depend on the magnitude, severity and duration of the pandemic, as well as how quickly, and to foreign tax filingswhat extent, normal economic and $3.4 million of operating income ($2.3 million after-tax) recordedconditions resume on a sustainable basis globally. Accordingly, if the impact is more severe or longer in March 2019. All of these amounts should have been recognized in prior periods. Excluding these misstatements, whichduration than we have determined were not material to the three months ending March 31, 2019, threeassumed, such impact could potentially result in impairments and nine months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, our net income would have been $113.5 million, or $1.70 per diluted common share for the nine months ending September 30, 2019.increases in credit allowances.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes, other than those related to the adopted new accounting standards below, in the Company's accounting policies from those disclosed in our 20182019 10‑K Report. The significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are disclosed in Note 11. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies of the “Notesaccompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements”Statements included in our 20182019 10‑K Report, and in the adopted accounting standards below.section below Adoption of New Accounting Standards.

Adoption of New Accounting StandardStandards
Leases (Topic 842). In February 2016, ASU 2016-02 was issued. The primary objectiveWe included below a description of therecent new standard, which amends the existing lease guidance and adds additional disclosures, is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing nearly all lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, including operating leasesaccounting standards or accounting standards updates that under the prior standard were off-balance sheet.

Topic 842 defines a lease as a contract that conveys the right to control the use ofhad an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of the identified asset means that the customer has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the use of the asset and the right to direct the use of the asset.

ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 (including interim periods within those periods) and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 in the first quarter of 2019 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method and applying the transition provisions at the effective date. We implemented the new standard using the package of practical expedients under the transition provisions that allows us not to reassess whether a contract contains a lease, how the lease is classified and if initial direct costs can be capitalized. For all the lessee arrangements, we have elected an accounting policy

to combine non-lease components with the related lease components and treat the combined items as a lease for accounting purposes. Lastly, we have elected not to recognize the lease asset and related lease liability for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.

As of the date of implementation on January 1, 2019, the impact of the adoption of the new lease standard resulted in the recognition of the right of use assets of $167.3 million and lease liability of $173.6 million on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The difference between the right of use assetsfinancial statements. New accounting standards or accounting standards updates not listed below were assessed and lease liabilities is primarily the result of accrued lease payments and cumulative lease prepayments, as well as the remaining balance of lease incentives received. Subsequentdetermined to adoption, the Company doesbe either not anticipate theapplicable or did not have a material impact on its results of operations and cash flows to be material.

Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial InstrumentsInstruments.. In June 2016, ASUAccounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13 was issued.issued, which replaced the incurred loss impairment model with a model that reflects expected credit losses over the lifetime of the asset and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. The amendmentsguidance in this update, will changeincluding the subsequent related codification amendments, changed how entities account for credit impairment from trade and other receivables, net investments arising from sales-type and direct financing leases, debt securities, purchased-credit impaired financial assets and other instruments in addition to loans. ASU 2018-19 issued in November 2018, clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. For receivables and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value, entities will beare required to estimate expected credit losses. Under the expected loss model, an entity recognizes a loss upon initial recognition of the asset that reflects all future events that willcould lead to a loss being realized, regardless of whether it is probable that the future event will occur.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13, including the related codification amendments, in the first quarter of 2020 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method and applying the transition provisions at the effective date.
The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.

2. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable and allowance for credit losses

We extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers. Our exposure to expected credit losses depends on the financial condition of our customers and other macroeconomic factors beyond our control, such as deteriorating conditions in the world economy or in the industries we serve, changes in oil prices and political instability. While we actively manage our credit exposure and work to respond to both changes in our customers’ financial conditions or macroeconomic events, there can be no guarantee we will be able to mitigate all of these risks successfully.

We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and adjust credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness based on expected exposure. Our payment terms with customers are based on each customers' creditworthiness and are generally 30-60 days, although certain markets and other customer-specific factors may warrant longer payment terms. Accounts receivable balances that are not paid within the terms of the sales agreement may be subject to finance fees based on the outstanding balance. Although we analyze customers’ payment history and expected creditworthiness, since we extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers, there is a possibility that any accounts receivable not collected may ultimately need to be written off.

Accounts receivable are measured at amortized cost. The health of our receivables is continuously monitored using a risk-based model, taking into consideration both the timeliness and predictability of collections from our customers. We maintain a provision for expected credit losses based upon our historical experience with our customers, along with any specific customer collection issues that we have identified from current financial information and business prospects, as well as any political or economic conditions or other market factors, including certain assumptions based on reasonable forward-looking information from market sources. Principally, based on these credit risk factors, portfolio segments are defined and an internally derived risk-based credit loss reserve is established and applied to each portfolio segment. Customer account balances that are deemed to be at high risk of collectability are reserved at higher rates than customer account balances which we expect to collect without difficulty.

We had accounts receivable of $2.0 billion and $2.9 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. We also had allowance for credit losses related to accounts receivables and other insignificant financing receivables of $56.1 million (including the $11.1 million cumulative transition adjustment to retained earnings related to the implementation of ASU 2016-13) and $35.5 million, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Changes to the expected credit loss provision during the three months ended March 31, 2020 include global economic outlook considerations as a result of the Company’s assessment of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information. Based on an aging analysis at March 31, 2020, 96% of our net accounts receivable were outstanding less than 60 days.
The following table sets forth activities in our allowance for credit losses (in millions):
  Total
Balance as of January 1, 2020 $46.6
Charges to provision for credit losses 9.9
Write-off of uncollectible receivables (0.6)
Recoveries of credit losses $0.1
Translation adjustments —
Balance as of March 31, 2020 $56.1

Financing programs
We have accounts receivable financing programs under receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. that allow for the sale of our accounts receivable in an amount up to an aggregate limit of $725.0 million100% of our outstanding qualifying accounts receivable.receivable balances and receive cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin equal to LIBOR plus 1% to 3%. Accounts receivable sold under the RPAs are accounted for as sales, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing, and excluded from Accounts receivable, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fees and interest paid under the RPAs are recorded within Interest expense and other financing costs, net on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

Under the RPAs, accounts receivable sold, which remained outstanding as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, were $288.3 million and $405.9 million, respectively. The fees and interest paid under the RPAs were $4.4 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020 and 2019, and 2018, cash

payments to the owners of accounts receivableaccount receivables were $6.3$1.8 billion and $6.1$2.0 billion, respectively, and cash proceeds from the sale of accounts receivableaccount receivables were $6.3$1.7 billion and $6.0$2.0 billion, respectively. The fees and financing costs under the RPAs were $20.4 million and $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our sold accounts receivable under the RPAs were $453.8 million and $508.2 million, respectively.



3. Acquisitions
 
2018 Acquisitions2020 Acquisition

During the first quarter of 2018,three months ended March 31, 2020, we completed 1the acquisition of the aviation fuel business from Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. (“UVair fuel business”), which serves business and general aviation customers worldwide. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination.

The following table summarizes the aggregate consideration paid for this acquisition and the provisional amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recognized at the acquisition date. The Company is in the land segment. process of obtaining information to finalize the valuations of certain acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Thus, the provisional measurements of these acquired assets and assumed liabilities are subject to change and will be finalized no later than one year from the acquisition date (amounts in millions):

 Total
Cash paid for acquisition of business$131.0
Amounts due to sellers30.0
Estimated purchase price$161.0
  
Assets acquired: 
Accounts receivable40.1
Goodwill and identifiable intangible assets127.1
Other current and long-term assets4.5
  
Liabilities assumed: 
Accounts payable(9.9)
Other current and long-term liabilities(0.9)
  
Estimated purchase price$161.0


The goodwill of $82.9 million was assigned to the aviation segment, of which $73.5 million is anticipated to be deductible for tax purposes, and is attributable primarily to the expected synergies and other benefits that we believe will result from combining the acquired operations with the aviation segment operations. The identifiable intangible assets were $44.3 million, and primarily consisted of customer relationships and other identifiable assets.

The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the 2018this acquisition hashave been included in our consolidated financial statementsConsolidated Financial Statements since itsthe acquisition date and it did not have a material impact on our consolidated revenue and net income for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2018.March 31, 2020; accordingly, pro forma information for this acquisition has not been provided as the impact was not considered material.

4. Derivatives

We enter into financial derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, land and marine fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. If the derivative instrument is not designated in a hedge relationship, changes in the estimated fair market value are recognized as a component of revenue, cost of revenue, or other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Derivatives which qualify for hedge accounting may be designated as either a fair value or cash flow hedge. For our fair value hedges, changes in the estimated fair market value of the hedging instrument and the hedged item are recognized in the same line item as the underlying transaction type in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The gains or losses on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions are initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and subsequently reclassified into earnings once the future transactions affect earnings. Cash flows for our hedging instruments are classified in the same category as the underlying hedged items. If for any reason hedge accounting is discontinued, then any cash flows subsequent to the date of discontinuance will be classified in a manner consistent with the nature of the instrument.Derivative Instruments

The following describes our derivative classifications:

Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivative contracts we hold to hedge the risk of changes in the price of our inventory.

Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain derivative contracts we execute to mitigate the risk of price or foreign currencyand interest rate volatility in forecasted transactions.

Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily transact to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in the form of swaps or futures contracts, as well as certain forward fixed price purchase and sale contracts and for portfolio optimization. In addition, non-designated derivatives are held to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.fluctuations and for portfolio optimization.

In March 2020, we entered into a $300 million, one-month LIBOR, floating-for-fixed non-amortizing interest rate swap contract ("IR Swap") with a maturity date in March 2025. The IR Swap was designated as a cash flow hedge to mitigate potential adverse changes in interest rates related to certain variable rate debt obligations. The IR Swap is measured at fair value each reporting period and changes in fair value are recorded to Accumulated other comprehensive income or loss (AOCI) on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts recorded in AOCI are subsequently reclassified to our Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income within Interest expense and other financing costs, net when the underlying hedged variable rate interest payments are accrued. The fair value of the IR Swap is recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets within Short-term derivative assets, net or Accrued expenses and other current liabilities for fair value associated with cash flows due within twelve months of March 31, 2020, and within Identifiable intangible and other non-current assets or Other long-term liabilities for the fair value associated with cash flows due after twelve months from March 31, 2020.

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 the 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.

The following tables summarize those commodity derivative balances subject to the right of offset as presented on our consolidated balance sheet.Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists.

Concentration of Credit Risk

TheOur individual over-the-counter (OTC)("OTC") counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. At September 30, 2019, NaNMarch 31, 2020, one of our OTC counterparties with an exposure amount of $28.2 million represented over 10% of our total credit exposure to OTC derivative counterparties.

Without the $1.0 million in discrete tax items, the effective income tax rate would have been 32.2% and 34.9%, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.25.9%.

Our provision for income taxes for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $55.5$14.0 million and $42.7 million, respectively, and ourresulting in an effective income tax rate was 30.9% and 30.1%of 27.3%.

Our income tax concession in Singapore which reduces the income tax rate on qualified sales and 35.3%,derivative gains and losses decreased foreign income taxes by $2.0 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The impact of the income tax concession on basic earnings per common share was $0.03 and $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.  On a diluted earnings per common share basis, the impact was $0.03 and $0.01 for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the 2020 and 2019 fiscal years. The actual effective income tax rate for the 2020 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 have various income tax returns under examination.examination both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The most significant of these are in Denmark for the 2013 - 2015 tax years, South Korea for the 2011 to- 2014 tax years, and Denmarkthe U.S. for the 2013 to 20152017 - 2018 tax years. In 2016,2018, one of our subsidiaries in Denmark received an audit inquiry from the SouthDanish tax authorities regarding transfer pricing and other related matters for the tax years 2013-2015. In Q2 2019, it received a proposed income adjustment of approximately $1.7 million related to the 2013 tax year and on April 30, 2020, it received a proposed income adjustment of approximately $5.2 million related to the 2014 tax year. We are currently responding to the proposed income adjustments and other information requests from the Danish tax authorities. In 2017, the Korean branchBranch of one of our subsidiaries received income tax assessment notices for the years 2011 to 2014 totaling $9.4$9.3 million (KRW 11.3 billion). from the South Korea tax authorities. We believe that these assessments are without merit and are currently appealing the actions. In addition, duringOn March 11, 2020, the quarter ended March 31, 2018, oneU.S. Internal Revenue Service began the audit of our Danish subsidiaries received an audit inquiry from the Danish tax authority relating to transfer pricing2017 and related issues for the2018 tax years, 2013 to 2015. We have beenand we are responding to the request and related questions and in April 2019, we received a proposed tax adjustment for the 2013 tax year which is not material. We have not yet received any proposed tax adjustments with respect to the 2014 or 2015 tax years. We believe that the proposed adjustment received for the 2013 tax year is without merit and are defending our positions.their information requests.

An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our resultsresult of operations or cash flows in the quarter andor year in which an adjustment isthe adjustments are recorded, or the tax is due or paid. As audits and examinations are still in process or we have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the ultimate resolution and anyor payments that may be required for the above matters cannot be determined at this time.

9. Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Our contracts with customers primarily require us to deliver fuel and fuel-related products, while other arrangements require us to complete agreed-upon services. Revenue from the sale of fuel is recognized when our customers obtain control of the fuel, which is typically upon delivery of each promised gallon or barrel to an agreed-upon delivery point. We generally recognize revenue for services provided over the contract period when services have been performed based on our right to invoice for those services.

Our contracts may contain fixed or variable pricing (such as market or index-based pricing) or some combination of those. Within our land and aviation segments, contracts with customers may include multi-year sales contracts, which are priced at market-based indices and require minimum volume purchase commitments from our customers. The consideration expected from

these contracts is considered variable due to the market-based pricing and the variability is not resolved until delivery is made to our customers. We have elected to apply the optional exemption from estimating and disclosing the variable consideration from our remaining performance obligations under these contracts.

We also have fixed price fuel and fuel-related product sale contracts with a contract term of less than one year (typically one month). For these contracts, we apply the optional exemption to not disclose the amount of transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations. We also apply this exemption to those contracts in which the right to consideration corresponds directly with the value to the customer of the entity's performance to date. In limited cases, we may have multi-period fixed price contracts. Because our long-term supply arrangements that exceed one year are typically based on market index prices as previously discussed, the transaction price associated with remaining performance obligations under multi-year fixed price fuel sale contracts areis not significant.



The following table presents our revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by major geographic areas we conduct business in. Prior period amounts have not been adjusted underin for the modified retrospective methodthree months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in millions).:

Other revenues (excluded from ASC 606) in the table above includes* Includes revenue from leases and other transactions that we account for followingunder separate guidance. Our contract assets and liabilities balances, and the changes in these balances, were not material as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The nature of the receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers and other revenue are substantially similar, given that they are generated from transactions with the same type of counterparties (e.g., separate fuel sales and storage lease with the same counterparty) and are entered into considering the same credit approval and monitoring procedures for all customers. As such, we believe the risk associated with the cash flows from the different types of receivables is not meaningful to separately disaggregate the accounts receivable balance presented on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the contract assets and contract liabilities recognized by the Company were not material.


10. Business Segments
 

We operate in 3 reportable segments consisting of aviation, land and marine. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. Our operating segments are determined based on the different markets in which we provide products and services, which are defined primarily by the customers and the products and services provided to those customers. Accordingly, our aviation, land and marine segments are organized based on the specific markets their functional business components serve, which are primarily businesses and governmental customers operating in those respective markets.

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-costlow cost carriers, airports, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft. In addition, we supply products and services to U.S. and foreign government, intergovernmental and military customers, such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency.


In our land segment, we offer fuel, lubricants, power and natural gas solutions through World Kinect, our global energy management services platform, 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.

Our marine segment product and service offerings include fuel, lubricants and related products and services to a broad base of customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines, yachts and time charter operators, offshore rig owners and operators, the U.S. and foreign governments as well as other fuel suppliers.

Within each of our segments, we may enter into derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations and also to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs.

During each of the periods presented on the consolidated statementsConsolidated Statements of incomeIncome and comprehensive income,Comprehensive Income, none of our customers accounted for more than 10% of total consolidated revenue. Sales to government customers, which principally consist of sales to NATO in support of military operations in Afghanistan, have accounted for a material portion of our profitability in recent years. The profitability associated with our government business can be significantly impacted by supply disruptions, border closures, road blockages, hostility-related product losses, inventory shortages and other logistical difficulties that can arise when sourcing and delivering fuel in areas that are actively engaged in war or other military conflicts. Our sales to government customers may fluctuate significantly from time to time as a result of the foregoing factors, as well as the level of troop deployments and related activity in a particular region or area or the commencement, extension, renewal or completion of existing and new government contracts.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
 

Tax Matters
 
From time to time, we are under review by various domestic and foreign tax authorities with regard to indirect tax matters and are involved in various challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, Brazil and South Korea, where the amounts under controversy may be material. We believe that these assessments are without merit and are currently appealing the actions.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the South Korean branch (“WFSK”) of one of our subsidiaries received assessments of approximately $9.9$9.3 million (KRW 11.911.3 billion) and during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, an assessment for an additional $16.7$16.5 million (KRW 20.1 billion) from the regional tax authorities of Seoul, South Korea.Korea (“SRTO”). The assessments primarily consist of fines and penalties for allegedly failing to issue Value Added Tax ("VAT") invoices and report certain transactions during the period 2011-2014. These assessments do not involve failure to pay or collect VAT. We believe that these assessments are without merit and are currently appealing the actions.
We are also involved in a number of tax disputes with federal, state and municipal tax authorities in Brazil, relating primarily to a VAT tax known as "ICMS". These disputes are at various stages of the legal process, including the administrative review phase and the collection action phase, and include assessments of fixed amounts of principal and penalties, plus interest. One of our Brazilian subsidiaries is currently appealing an assessment of approximately $9.5 million (BRL 49.1 million) from the Brazilian tax authorities relating to the ICMS rate used for

certain transactions.  The total amount of approximately $13.0 million (BRL 54.1 million)assessment primarily consists of interest and penalties.  We believe that the assessment is without merit and are pursuing our remedies in the judicial court system.
When we deem it appropriate and the amounts are reasonably estimable, we establish reserves for potential adjustments to our provision for the accrual of indirect taxes that may result from examinations or other actions by tax authorities. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in the recognition of benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of any of our federal, state, and foreign indirect tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, it could result in a further charge to expense. Except with respect to the matters described above, we believe that the final outcome of any pending examinations, agreements, administrative or judicial proceedings will not have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows.

Other Matters

We are also 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, personal injury, 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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we had recorded certain reserves which were not material. 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.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 statementsConsolidated 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.


13. Restructuring

DuringAs a result of continued review of our land business and changes in the fourthoverall economic landscape for all reportable segments as result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are implementing a restructuring initiative focused on further streamlining our operations and sharpening our deployment of resources in 2020.  We are working to further define the plan for the restructuring during the second quarter of 2017, we initiated an enterprise-wide restructuring plan that was designed to streamline the organization and reallocate resources to better align our organizational structure and costs with our strategy. The restructuring plan involves reviewing certain non-core businesses and assets, our organizational structure, and expected business prospects in the markets we serve, as well as our existing technology platforms. These activities are expected to be completed by year end 2019.2020.

14. Leases

We enter into lease arrangements for the use of offices, operational facilities, vehicles, vessels, storage tanks and other assets for our operations around the world. Some of these leases are embedded within other arrangements. When an arrangement includes

both lease and non-lease components, we have elected to combine them and treat them as a lease component for all of our current leased asset classes.

Determining whether a contract contains a lease includes judgment regarding whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Assessing whether we have obtained the right to substantially all of the economic benefits and the ability to direct how, and for what purpose, the asset is used requires more judgment in storage arrangements where we must determine whether our rights to capacity may represent substantially all of the available capacity at a location.

Some of these arrangements are for periods of twelve months or less, while others are for longer periods, and may include optional renewals, terminations or purchase options, which are considered in our assessments when they are reasonably certain to occur. In addition, certain of these arrangements contain payments based on an index, market-based escalation or volume which may impact future payments. Most of our leases typically contain general covenants, restrictions or requirements such as maintaining minimum insurance coverage.

We account for our lease-related assets and liabilities based on their classification as operating leases or finance leases, following the relevant accounting guidance. We measure lease related assets and liabilities based on the present value of lease payments, including in-substance fixed payments, variable payments that depend on an index or rate measured at the commencement date, and the amount we believe is probable we will pay the lessor under residual value guarantees when applicable. We discount lease payments based on our estimated incremental borrowing rate at lease commencement (or modification), which is primarily based on our estimated credit rating, the lease term at commencement, and the contract currency of the lease arrangement. We have elected to exclude short term leases (leases with an original lease term less than one year) from the measurement of lease related assets and liabilities.

Business OutlookOverview
 
We are a leading global fuel services company, principally engaged in the distribution of fuel and related products and services in the aviation, land and marine transportation industries. In recent years, we have expanded our product and service offerings to include energy advisory services and supply fulfillment with respect tofor natural gas and power and transaction and payment management solutions to commercial and industrial customers. We endeavorOur intention is to become a leading global energy management company offering a full suite of energy advisory, management and fulfillment services, and technology solutions, as well as sustainability products and services across the energy product spectrum. We also seek to become a leading transaction and payment management company, offeringoffer payment management solutions to commercial and industrial customers, principally in the aviation, land and marine transportation industries. We will continue to focus on enhancing the portfolio of products and services we provide based on changes in customer demand, including sustainability offerings and renewable fuel products.
The overall
COVID-19

Beginning in the first quarter of 2020 and through the date of this filing, the aviation, market remains strong, benefiting from continued growthmarine and land transportation industries, along with global economic conditions, have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. A large number of our customers in global passengerthese industries have experienced substantial reductions in their operations, especially commercial airlines and cruise lines which have been particularly impacted by the travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders. Customers in our marine and land segments have also been adversely affected by these restrictions as well as the extended shutdown of various businesses in affected regions.

While the pandemic and associated impacts on economic activity had a limited adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition for the first quarter of 2020, we have since seen a sharp decline in demand and airline profitability remains healthy. related sales as large sectors of the global economy have been adversely impacted by the crisis. We expect that our results of operations will be more significantly impacted in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the effects of the pandemic as described in greater detail below, since the level of activity in our business and that of our customers has historically been driven by the level of economic activity globally.
Aviation Segment

Our aviation segment has benefited from growth in our increasedfuel and related services offerings, as well as our improving logistics capability and we havethe impact of our expanded our aviation fueling operations footprint into additional international territories and airport locations. However, as a result of COVID-19, the overall aviation market, principally commercial passenger airlines, has been significantly impacted by the travel restrictions and sharp decrease in near-term demand for air travel. As a result, we began to experience a material decline in activity in our commercial aviation business in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020. In the second quarter, we expect an even greater decline in volumes and related profitability in our commercial aviation business and, to a somewhat lesser extent, our business and general aviation activities, some of which we believe will be at least partly offset by continued strength in air cargo activity. Our results of operations in these lines of business for the balance of 2020 will be highly contingent on the timing and extent to which the restrictions on air travel are lifted and the global economy begins to recover from the effects of the current crisis.

Our aviation segment has also benefited from continued strong demand from government customers, principallysales to NATO in Afghanistan, and sales to NATOwhich account for a material portion of our aviation segment's profitability. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019,The current contract for these sales to NATO exercised the first of its threehas been renewed through December 2020 and has two additional one-year renewal options in our contract. While our government-related operations remain strong, globalat NATO's discretion. Global events and military-related activities, as well as the level of troop deployments, can cause our government customer sales to vary significantly from period to period and materially impact our results of operations. Recently, the U.S. government announced its intention to significantly reduce the level of U.S. troops in the Middle East, including the troops supporting NATO in Afghanistan. The timing, extent and impact of any such withdrawal is currently uncertain, however, we expect to see a decline in this activity in 2020 based on recent trends in demand that began at the end of the first quarter of 2020 and has continued into the second quarter.

Land Segment

Our land segment has grown primarily through acquisitions as we seek to build out ourconsists of land fuel distribution capabilities in the U.S. and the U.K. Recently,further complemented by our expansion into energy advisory, brokerage and fulfillment solutions with respect to power, natural gas and other energy products. We also offer sustainability consulting, renewable fuel products, and carbon management and renewable energy solutions through our World Kinect energy management services brand. During the first quarter of 2020, improved operating results in our land segment has been negatively impactedwere driven primarily by improvements in the U.K., where we benefited from volatility in the latter part of the quarter, as well as continued growth in our decisionWorld Kinect operations.


Due to reposition the diverse portfolio of customers, businesses and reduce certain supplyactivities within our land segment, the anticipated COVID-19 related impacts are more difficult to predict. However, we have recently seen, and trading activities which were not generatingexpect to continue to see, a sufficient or predictable economic returnmaterial decrease in sales to retail gasoline and diesel distributors as well as gas station operators in North America in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of market conditions. In addition, our operating resultsthe stay-at-home orders in effect throughout much of the U.S. The extent of any improvements in that part of our business will also be dependent on the timing and U.K.extent to which these restrictions are impacted by weather conditionslifted and accordingly, unseasonably warm weather has adversely impacted our year-to-date results in 2019.local business activity resumes. Meanwhile, our land segment has continued to benefit from strong sales to government customers, particularly NATO in Afghanistan, however, as described above, these sales can also be significantly impacted by global events and military-related activities, as well as the level of troop deployments. We continueFor the same reasons as those described above, we expect to focus on supplying more sustainable end-user demand to provide greater leverage and ratabilitysee a decline in this activity in 2020.


in our operating model, as well as driving operational excellence and improving our technology platform to reduce transaction processing costs.Marine Segment

Our marine segment results have been strong in recent periods despite challenging conditions within the global shipping and offshore exploration markets. We believe overall volumes in our marine segment have stabilizedOverall, throughout 2019 and into 2020, higher average fuel prices, combined with our focus on prudent credit risk managementreshaping our portfolio and cost management, have improved profitability. TheIn addition, the implementation of the IMO 2020 mandatory fuel standards, such as the International Maritime Organization'slow sulfur regulations limiting sulfur in fuel oil used on ships that will be effectivewent into effect on January 1, 2020 ("IMO 2020") has already resulted in certain supply imbalances and price volatility in late 2019 and through much of the first quarter of 2020 that has positively impacted our operating results recently. We believe that these changesin those periods. However, in the regulatory landscape will provide additional opportunitieslatter part of the first quarter of 2020, we began to experience a decline in volume and profitability as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the significant decline in fuel prices. For the second quarter of 2020, we expect our marine segment’s volume and profitability to be more meaningfully impacted by both the effects of the pandemic, particularly with respect to cruise lines and certain sectors of the shipping industry, as well as substantially lower fuel prices. However, we still expect our results for usthe second quarter of 2020 to create value-added solutionsgenerally be consistent with the second quarter of 2019.

Other Actions

With respect to our own operations, we have implemented our business continuity and emergency response plans in alignment with mandates from local authorities. To ensure the safety of our employees who are continuing to work, we have provided instructions on how to work safely in light of the pandemic and elevated our cleaning protocols for our offices, facilities and equipment. We are maximizing remote work throughout our global offices and our employees are collaborating virtually with our customers, suppliers and further enhance profitability.each other using the information sharing tools and technology that we have invested in during the last several years.

We continueDue to focus on rationalizingthe ongoing and expected adverse impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, we immediately made cost-related decisions as the pandemic began impacting our operating modelbusiness activities. For example, we immediately instituted a hiring freeze and portfolio of businesses to gain efficiencies through variousimplemented travel restrictions for our employees across the organization, postponed or eliminated all non-essential capital expenditures and other projects and initiatives, that are ongoing throughout the company. We are investing in automationsignificantly reduced or deferred professional fees, marketing expenses and technology throughout our businesses, which we expect will ultimately enhance our value propositionother similar costs. In addition, while lowering our cost, reducing cycle time and improving scalability. Furthermore, we have continued to implementfocus on improving operating efficiencies and returns, we have also concentrated on lowering the operating costs of our enterprise-wideland segment, which has historically had a higher expense ratio than other parts of our business. Accordingly, we have commenced a restructuring plan, designed to streamline the organizationinitiative focused on further streamlining our operations and reallocatesharpening our deployment of resources, to align more effectively our organizational structure and costs with our ultimate strategy to improve operating efficiencies. The restructuring program has involved rationalizing non-core businesses and investments, refining our organizational structure, and advancing business prospects in the markets we serve, as well as exiting certain business activities and reinvestingnot only in our core businessesland segment but also our other segments due to improve scalability. We expectthe expected adverse impacts of the pandemic.

The ultimate duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and our customers' operations is presently unclear. Furthermore, the extent to which we or our customers will ultimately be impacted by the pandemic is not presently ascertainable as it is closely related to the timing and extent to which the global economy, and the aviation land and marine transportation industries in particular, recover from the crisis. For additional discussion on the risks relating to the pandemic, see Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of this portfolio rationalization will free up additional capital to invest in activities with sustainable revenue and adequate returns while we continue to manage our working capital and inventory in a volatile fuel price environment.10-Q Report.


Reportable Segments
 
We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land and marine, where we offer fuel and related products and services to commercial and industrial customers in each of these transportation industries. Within each of our segments, we may enter into derivative contracts to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations and also to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs.
In our aviation segment,and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and other products, as well as provide aviation fueling and other related services.products. Profit from our aviation segmentand land segments is primarily determined by the volume and the gross profit achieved on fuel sales and related services. In our marine and land segments,segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and also act as brokers for others. Profit from our marine and land segmentssegment is determined largelymostly by the volume and gross profit achieved on fuel resales and by the volume and commission rate of the brokering business. Profitability in all of our segments also depends on our operating expenses, which canmay be materially affected to the extent that we are required to provide for potential bad debt.
Corporate expenses are allocated to each segment based on usage, where possible, or other factors according to the nature of the activity. We evaluate and manage our business segments using the performance measurement of income from operations. Selected financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 10 to.

Revenues in our aviation segment were $4.7$3.8 billion for the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, a decrease of $282.3$488.6 million, or 5.6%11.5% as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018, driven principally by lower2019. Lower average jet fuel prices drove the decrease in aviation revenue in the thirdfirst quarter of 2020, where the average price per gallon sold was $1.80, as compared to $2.16 in the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, as compared to the prior-year period in 2019, total aviation volumes for the first quarter of 2020 decreased by 126.0 million or 6.39% to 1.8 billion gallons. The volume decrease was due to the significant decline in activity in our commercial aviation business during the last month of the quarter, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic impact on air travel.

Revenues in our land segment were $2.1 billion for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of $387.6 million, or 15.5%, as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The decrease in revenue was due to lower average fuel prices in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the first quarter of 2019, where the average price per gallon or gallon equivalent sold was $2.05,$1.51 in 2020, as compared to $2.30$1.84 in the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in revenue due to the lower average price per gallon was partly offset by higher volume sold during the period, where total aviation volumes for the third quarter of 2019 were 2.2 billion gallons, an increase of 4.1%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increased volumes were primarily attributable to growth in our international fueling operations in Europe and Mexico.

Revenues in our land segment were $2.6 billion for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of $298.6 million, or 10.5%, as compared to the third quarter of 2018. The decrease in revenue was a result of lower average fuel prices in the third quarter of 2019, as compared to the third quarter of 2018, where the average price per gallon sold was $1.88, as compared to $2.12 in 2018.2019.

The increasedecrease in aviation gross profit was primarily due to further growthlower margins in our physical inventory supply business, exacerbated by the rapid decline in jet fuel prices. Furthermore, the impact of air travel restrictions on commercial aviation activity in the latter part of the quarter as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, and a reduction in our government-related operations and continued strengthactivity in our core commercial and businessAfghanistan also contributed to the decrease in aviation activities.gross profit.

Our land segment gross profit for the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 was $95.4$106.3 million, an increase of $12.4$4.8 million, or 14.9%4.7%, as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The increase in land segment gross profit was primarily attributable to improved results in the U.K., continued growth in our government-related operations,Kinect global energy services platform, as well as growth in MultiService, our payment solutions business. The improved results in our land segment were partially offset by a decline in profitability in our retail and commercial and industrial activities in North America as well as our MultiService payment solutions business.a result of declining fuel prices through the first quarter of 2020.

Our marine segment gross profit for the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 was $53.4$59.3 million, an increase of $10.4$24.1 million, or 24.1%68.4%, as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The gross profit increase was duerelated to improved profitabilitystrong results in our core resale operations, as well as supply disruptions duringactivity principally driven by market volatility and higher fuel prices resulting from the latter partshift to very low-sulfur fuel oil due to the implementation of the third quarter which created significant supply shortages and market price volatility, resulting in higher profitability in Asia.IMO 2020 regulations.

Our income from operations for the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 was $93.6$70.8 million, an increase of $15.5$0.4 million, or 19.8%0.6%, as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The improvements inimproved operating profitability reported for the first half of 2019 continued into the third quarter across all three reporting segments. Within our aviation segment, the increaseincome was primarily due tothe result of higher profitability in our land and marine segments, however, those increases were largely offset by a decrease in profitability in our aviation segment.

Income from operations in our aviation segment for the first quarter of 2020 was $29.1 million, a decrease of $26.5 million or 47.7% as compared to the first quarter of 2019. Our Aviation segment was primarily impacted by lower profitability from our physical inventory supply business, exacerbated by the dramatic decline in fuel prices, together with the impact of air travel restrictions on commercial aviation activity in the latter part of the quarter as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as a reduction in government-related activity in Afghanistan and a higher provision for bad debt.

In our land segment, income from operations for the first quarter of 2020 was $25.7 million, an increase of $4.6 million or 22.1% as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The improved profitability was primarily attributable to weather related increases in the U.K. and continued strengthgrowth in our Kinect global energy services platform, as well as growth in MultiService, our payment solutions business, partially offset by a decline in profitability in our retail and commercial and industrial activities in North America as result of declining fuel prices through the first quarter of 2020.

Our marine segment income from operations for the first quarter of 2020 was $33.9 million, an increase of 20.4 million or 151.0% as compared to the first quarter of 2019. The increase in profitability was related to strong results in our core commercialresale activity principally driven by market volatility and business aviation activities,higher fuel prices resulting from the shift to very low sulfur fuel oil due to the implementation of the IMO 2020 regulations, partially offset by a higher provision for bad debt. Within our marine segment, we generated higher operating incomedebt, as a resultcompared to the first quarter of improved profitability in our core resale business, partially offset by a higher provision for bad debt. Improved profitability in our land segment was driven primarily by growth in our government-related operations, commercial and industrial activities, as well as our MultiService payment solutions business.2019.

Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the thirdfirst quarter of 20192020 were $26.7$17.8 million, an increasea decrease of $6.2$1.9 million, or 30.4%9.7%, as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, primarily attributable to employeea decrease in incentive compensation.

Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, we had non-operating expenses of $22.8$13.2 million, an increasea decrease of $6.4$5.8 million as compared to the thirdfirst quarter of 2018,2019, driven principally by litigation-related accruals.a reduction in interest expenses and fees associated with our receivable purchase programs.

Income Taxes. For the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, our effective income tax rate was 30.3%27.7% and our income tax provision was $21.5$16.0 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 37.3%27.3% and an income tax provision of $23.0$14.0 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019. The lowerhigher effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2019 was primarily related to differences in certain one-time discrete items year-over-year and the results of our mix of income being generatedsubsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with varying incomedifferent tax rates.rates, offset by the favorable effect of the adoption of the base erosion and anti-abuse minimum tax proposed regulations released on December 2, 2019. See Note 8 -8. Income Taxes within this 10-Q Report for additional information.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. For the thirdfirst quarter of 2019,2020, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.2$0.2 million an increase of 111.7%, as compared to $0.1 million for the thirdfirst quarter of 2018.2019.

Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share. For the third quarter of 2019, we had a net income of $48.2 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.73 as compared to net income of $38.2 million and diluted earnings per common share of $0.56 for the third quarter of 2018.






Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018
Revenue. Our revenue for the first nine months of 2019 was $27.5 billion, a decrease of $2.3 billion, or 7.7%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018. Our revenue during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

Revenues in our aviation segment were $13.8 billion for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $0.4 billion, or 3.1%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018, driven principally by lower average jet fuel prices per gallon sold in the first nine months of 2019, where the average price per gallon sold was $2.07, as compared to $2.21 in the first nine months of 2018. The decrease in average price per gallon was partially offset by higher volume sold during the period. Total volumes for the first nine months of 2019 were 6.3 billion gallons, an increase of 2.3%, as compared to the comparable prior year period. The increased volumes were primarily attributable to growth in our international fueling operations in Europe and Mexico.
Revenues in our land segment were $7.7 billion for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $1.0 billion, or 11.1%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018. The overall decrease in revenue was influenced by lower average fuel price per gallon sold in the first nine months of 2019, where the average price per gallon sold was $1.90, as compared to $2.05 in the first nine months of 2018. Volumes in our land segment decreased by 4.9%, to 4.0 billion gallons, for the first nine months of 2019, as compared to the first nine months of 2018. The land volume decrease was driven principally by our decision to reposition the portfolio and exit certain non-core supply and trading activities in North America, which were not generating a sufficient economic return.
Revenues in our marine segment were $6.0 billion for the first nine months of 2019, a decrease of $0.9 billion, or 13.1%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018.  The decrease in revenues was driven by lower average bunker fuel prices, where the average price per metric ton sold was $377.0 in the first nine months of 2019 as compared to $389.6 in 2018. Volumes in our marine segment were 15.8 million metric tons, a decrease of 10.2%, for the first nine months of 2019 as compared to the 2018 period, driven principally by our decision to discontinue certain low margin, low return activities in Asia.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 was $825.3 million, an increase of $69.0 million, or 9.1%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018.  

Our gross profit during these periods was attributable to the following segments (in millions):

Our aviation segment gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 was $411.7 million, an increase of $33.7 million, or 8.9%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018. The increase in aviation gross profit was primarily due to further growth in our government-related operations and continued strength in our core commercial and business aviation activities, partially offset by the negative impact of declining market prices through the first nine months of 2019 as compared to 2018.

Our land segment gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 was $288.6 million, an increase of $14.8 million, or 5.4%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018. The increase in land segment gross profit is primarily attributable togrowth in our

government-related operations, commercial and industrial activities, as well as our MultiService payment solutions business. These increases were partially offset by lower market prices in 2019, as compared to 2018.

Our marine segment gross profit for the first nine months of 2019 was $125.0 million, an increase of $20.5 million, or 19.6%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018. The gross profit increase was principally driven by improved profitability in our core resale operations.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the first nine months of 2019 were $586.2 million, an increase of $26.3 million, or 4.7%, as compared to 2018. The total increase in operating expenses was primarily due to increases in employee incentive compensation as a result of improving operating performance, as well as a higher provision for bad debt principally due to the bankruptcy filing of a customer in the aviation segment during the third quarter of 2019.

Our income from operations for the first nine months of 2019 was $239.2 million, an increase of $42.7 million, or 21.8%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018, and includes $3.4 million of operating income, which was recorded during the quarter ending March 31, 2019, to correct an item that should have been recognized in 2018. The improved operating income was primarily the result of higher profitability across all three reporting segments. Our aviation segment benefited from higher profitability in our government-related operations and continued strength in our core commercial and business aviation activities, partially offset by higher provision for bad debt. Our marine segment experienced higher profitability from the core resale business, partially offset by a higher provision for bad debt. In our land segment, improved profitability was driven primarily by growth in our government-related operations, commercial and industrial activities, as well as our MultiService payment solutions business. The increases in profitability were partially offset by an increase in employee incentive compensation.
Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the first nine months of 2019 were $66.7 million, an increase$6.2 million, or 10.3% as compared to the first nine months of 2018, primarily attributable to employee incentive compensation.
Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the first nine months of 2019, we had non-operating expenses, net of $59.4 million, an increase of $4.9 million as compared to the first nine months of 2018 driven principally by an increase in interest and fees associated with our receivable purchase programs and litigation-related accruals. These expenses were partially offset by gains on the disposal of certain non-core assets and foreign currency transactions.
Income Taxes. For the first nine months of 2019, our effective income tax rate was 30.9% and our income tax provision was $55.5 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 30.1% and an income tax provision of $42.7 million for the first nine months of 2018. The higher effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2019 was impacted by various discrete items

and our mix of income being generated in tax jurisdictions with varying income tax rates. See Note 8 - Income Taxes for additional information.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. For the first nine months of 2019, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.9 million, an increase of 65.8%, as compared to the first nine months of 2018.
Net IncomeWorld Fuel and Diluted Earnings per Common Share. For the first nine monthsquarter of 2019,2020, we had a net income attributable to World Fuel of $122.4$41.4 million and diluted earnings per common share of $1.84$0.63 as compared to net income attributable to World Fuel of $98.1$37.2 million and diluted earnings per common share of $1.45$0.55 for the first nine monthsquarter of 2018.2019.

Our net income for the first nine months of 2019 includes a net discrete tax benefit of $6.6 million ($3.2 million recorded in March 2019 and $3.5 million recorded in September 2019) with respect to foreign tax filings and $3.4 million of operating income ($2.3 million after-tax) recorded in March 2019. All of which should have been recognized in prior periods. Excluding these misstatements, which we have determined were not material to the three months ending March 31, 2019, three and nine months ending September 30, 2019 and 2018, our net income would have been $113.5 million, or $1.70 per diluted common share for the nine months ending September 30, 2019.




Liquidity and Capital Resources

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, changes in fuel prices as well as changes in fuel prices. Availabilityour financial performance which drives availability under our Credit Facility. Our availability under our Credit Facility, for example, is also limited by, among other things, our financialconsolidated total leverage ratio, which limitsis defined in the total amountCredit Facility and is based in part on our adjusted consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the four immediately preceding fiscal quarters. Accordingly, significant fluctuations in our Adjusted EBITDA for a particular quarter can impact our availability to the extent it significantly alters our Adjusted EBITDA for the applicable preceding four quarters. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in Part II of indebtedness we may incur, and may, therefore, fluctuate from period to period.this 10-Q Report for additional information.
Cash and liquidity are significant priorities for us and our primary use of cash and liquidity is to fund working capital and strategic investments. Increases in fuel prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash required to fund fuel purchases. In addition, while we are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases, higher fuel prices may reduce the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis, and in certain cases, we may be required to prepay fuel purchases, which would negatively impact our liquidity. Fuel price increases may also negatively impact our customers, in that they may not be able to purchase as much fuel from us because of their credit limits with us and the resulting adverse impact on their business could cause them to be unable to make payments owed to us for fuel purchased on credit. They may also choose to reduce the amount of fuel they consume in their operations to reduce costs. In any such event, the volume of orders from our customers may thereafter decrease and we may not be able to replace lost volumes with new or existing customers.

WeAs described in greater detail above, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have an adverse impact on our customers, and therefore our own operating results, for the second quarter of 2020. Based on the information currently available, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and available funds from our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, remainare 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 and to the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change significantly, whether as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic or otherwise, the 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.

*The adoption of ASU 2016-15 resulted in operating cash flow decreases and investing cash flow increases of $357.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

At the beginning of 2018, accounting standards update 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”) became effective for us and provided revised guidance on the presentation of certain items, including those associated with retained beneficial interests in accounts receivable sale programs. Under the terms of our receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”) with Wells Fargo and Citibank, we were entitled to retained beneficial interests, which gave us the right to receive additional cash consideration of either 10% or 6%, as a result of receiving cash consideration equal to either 90% or 94%, respectively of the total accounts receivables balance. Under the revised guidance, previously disclosed cash inflows attributable to held beneficial interests were no longer treated as a component of accounts receivables, net in operating activities, but instead were classified separately as an investing activity. During the quarter ended September 30, 2018, however, we amended the RPAs with Wells Fargo and Citibank to remove the retained beneficial interests, allowing us to sell 100% of our outstanding qualifying accounts receivable balances and receive cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin equal to LIBOR plus 1% to 3%.

Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $3.8$12.0 million and $4.1$4.3 million as of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, respectively. As of September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, the unused portion of our Credit Facility was $1.1$0.6 billion and $985.9 million.$1.2 billion. The unused portion of our revolving Credit Facility is limited by, among other things, our financial leverage ratio, which limits the total amount of indebtedness we may incur, and may, therefore, fluctuate from period to period.
Our Credit Facility and 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 September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.

Other 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 September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $390.7$404.9 million and $303.6$375.2 million, respectively.

We also have RPAsaccounts receivable financing programs under receivables purchase agreements (“RPAs”) with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. and Citibank, N.A. that allow for the sale of our accounts receivable in an amount up to an aggregate of $725.0 million100% of our accounts receivable. Our soldoutstanding qualifying accounts receivable underbalances and receive cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin equal to LIBOR plus 1% to 3%. The RPA agreements provide the banks with the ability to add or remove customers from these programs based on, among other things, the level of risk exposure the bank is willing to accept with respect to any customer. The fees the banks charge us to purchase the receivables from these customers can also be impacted for these reasons. Under the RPAs, was $453.8 million and $508.2 million, as of September 30, 2019accounts receivable sold which remained outstanding at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018,2019 were $288.3 million and $405.9 million, respectively. The reduction in accounts receivable sold for the first quarter of 2020 was driven primarilyby lower fuel prices and the decline in activity in our commercial aviation and marine business during the latter part of the quarter as a result of the COVID-19-related impact on air travel, cruise operations and fuel prices.

Short-Term Debt. As of September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, our short-term debt of $16.4$53.6 million primarily represents the current maturities (within the next twelve months) of Term Loan borrowings, certain promissory notes related to acquisitions and finance lease obligations.obligations and a secured borrowing associated with the transfer of tax receivables.

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 September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
 
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 quarterthree months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.
 
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
 
On July 20, 2016, we were informed that the U.S. Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) was conducting an investigation into the aviation fuel supply industry, including certain activities by us and other industry participants at an airport in Central America. In connection therewith, we were served with formal requests by the DOJ about our activities at that airport and our aviation fuel supply business more broadly. On August 5, 2019, we were informed by the DOJ that it had closed its investigation with respect to us without taking any action against us.

From time to time, we are under review by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and indirect tax matters and are involved in various inquiries, audits, challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, Brazil, Denmark, and South Korea and the U.S. where the amounts under controversy may be material. DuringSee Note 8. Income Taxes and Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies within this 10-Q Report as well as refer to Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies and Note 11. Income Taxes within Part IV. Item 15. Notes to the third quarter ofConsolidated Financial Statements included in our 2019 the IRS closed its income tax audit of our 2013 to 2016 tax years, the overall results of which were not material to our financial statements. See Notes 8 and 12 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements10-K Report for additional details regarding certain tax matters.

We are also 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, personal injury, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and administrative claims. We are not currently a party to any such claim, complaint or proceeding that we expect to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular reporting period could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures for that period.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
We are supplementing the risk factors described under Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors of our 2019 10-K Report (the “2019 10-K Risk Factors”) with the additional information and risk factor set forth below, which supplements, and to the extent inconsistent, supersedes the 2019 10-K Risk Factors. The following should be read in conjunction with the 2019 10-K Risk Factors and the information contained in this 10-Q Report, as well as our other reports filed with the SEC. The developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic described below have heightened, and in certain cases, may exacerbate the risks disclosed in the 2019 10-K Risk Factors, and such risk factors are further qualified by the information relating to the pandemic that is described in this 10-Q Report. Except as updated herein, there have been no material changes with respect to the 2019 10-K Risk Factors and they are incorporated by reference herein.

Adverse conditions or events affecting the aviation, marine and land transportation industries may have a material adverse effect on our business.

Our business is focused on the marketing of fuel and other related products and services primarily to the aviation, marine and land transportation industries, which are generally affected by economic cycles. Therefore, weak economic conditions can have a negative impact on the business of our customers which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on our business. For example, the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a significant impact on the global economy generally, as well as the aviation, land and marine transportation industries, where companies operating in these sectors have been experiencing sharp declines in demand arising from the various measures enacted by governments around the world to contain the spread of the virus. Commercial passenger airlines and cruise lines have been particularly impacted by the travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, and customers in our marine and land segments have also been adversely affected by such restrictions as well as the extended shutdown of various businesses in affected regions. As a result, we have recently experienced a decline in sales volume and profitability across our aviation, land and marine segments. Furthermore, if the pandemic continues for an extended period of time, the financial condition of our customers may deteriorate such that there is a greater risk of customer bankruptcies and credit losses, either of which could lead to significant increases in our bad debt expense. The ultimate magnitude and duration of these adverse impacts on our business will depend on the timing and extent to which the global economy, and our customers in the aviation land and marine transportation industries in particular, recover from the current crisis.

Additionally, our business and that of our customers can be adversely impacted by political instability, terrorist activity, piracy, military action, transportation, terminal or pipeline capacity constraints, natural disasters and other weather-related events that disrupt shipping, flight operations, land transportation or the availability of fuel, which may negatively impact sales of our products

and services. Any additional political or governmental developments or otherglobal health concerns or crises in the countries in which we or our customers operate, could also result in further social, economic or labor instability. Accordingly, the effects of any of the foregoing risks and uncertainties on us or our customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Lastly, our business could also be adversely affected by merger activity in the aviation, marine or land transportation industries, which may reduce the number of customers that purchase our products and services, as well as the prices we are able to charge for such products and services. For example, the shipping and aviation industries have gone through a period of significant consolidation, which has created a concentration of volume among a limited number of larger shipping companies and commercial airlines. Larger shipping companies and airlines often have greater leverage, are more sophisticated purchasers of fuel and have a greater ability to buy directly from major oil companies and suppliers. Accordingly, this can negatively impact our value proposition to these types of customers and increases the risk of disintermediation.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related global economic slowdown have recently had an adverse impact on our business and, depending on the duration of the pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.

The outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020, has created significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption in the global economy. The rapid spread of COVID-19 has caused governments around the world to implement stringent measures to help control the spread of the virus, including quarantines, “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” orders, social-distancing mandates, travel restrictions, and closures or reduced operations for businesses, governmental agencies, schools and other institutions, among others. While, governments and central banks in several parts of the world have enacted fiscal and monetary stimulus policies to counteract the adverse effects of the pandemic, the effectiveness of such actions are still uncertain. Furthermore, the restrictions on travel, “stay-at-home” or “shelter-in-place” orders and business closures has also led to a precipitous decline in fuel prices in response to concerns about demand for fuel, further exacerbated by recent disagreements regarding crude oil production levels between the OPEC members and other oil producing countries such as Russia, as well as related global storage considerations.

In response to the pandemic and measures taken by applicable governmental authorities, we took prompt action to ensure the safety of our employees and other stakeholders, as well as commenced a number of initiatives relating to cost reduction, liquidity and operating efficiencies. While the pandemic and associated impacts on economic activity had a limited adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition during the first quarter of 2020, we have since seen a sharp decline in demand and related sales volume as large sectors of the global economy have been adversely impacted by the crisis. Accordingly, we expect that our results of operations will be more significantly impacted in the second quarter of 2020 as a result of the crisis, and the extent of the impact on the balance of the year will be dependent on the duration of the pandemic and the eventual recovery.

Although we are unable to predict the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic at this time or enumerate all potential risks to our business, given the nature and significance of the crisis, we believe that in addition to the impacts described above, other current or potential impacts of this unprecedented event include, but are not limited to:

disruptions in our supply chains due to transportation delays, travel restrictions, cost increases, and closures of businesses or facilities;
disruptions resulting from office and facility closures, reductions in operating hours, and changes in operating procedures, including additional cleaning and disinfecting procedures;
possible infections or quarantining of our employees which could impact our ability to service our customers or operate our business;
impacts related to delayed customer payments and payment defaults associated with customer liquidity issues and bankruptcies, as well as other liquidity challenges, such as reduced availability under our senior credit facility due to financial covenant restrictions tied to our financial performance;
volatility in the global financial markets, which could have a negative impact on our ability to access capital and additional sources of financing in the future;
notices from customers, suppliers and other third parties asserting force majeure or other bases for their non-performance;
losses on hedging transactions with customers arising from the sharp decline in fuel prices and their inability to benefit from the reduced cost of fuel due to substantial reductions in their operations;

litigation risk and possible loss contingencies related to COVID-19 and its impact, including with respect to commercial contracts, employee matters and insurance arrangements;
extended periods of reduced demand and low fuel prices that impact our sales volume and related profitability;
heightened risk of cybersecurity issues, as digital technologies may become more vulnerable and experience a higher rate of cyber attacks in a remote connectivity environment;
reduction of our global workforce to adjust to market conditions, including increased costs associated with severance payments, retention issues, and an inability to hire employees when market conditions improve;
increased costs associated with rationalization of our portfolio of businesses and other restructuring activities;
a need to preserve liquidity, which could result in actions such as a reduction or suspension of our quarterly dividend or stock repurchases;
asset impairments, including an impairment of the carrying value of our goodwill, along with other accounting charges if expected future demand for our products and services materially decreases; and
a structural shift in the global economy and its demand for fuel and related products and services as a result of changes in the way people work, travel and interact, or in connection with a global recession.
We are monitoring and continue to assess the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses and operations. Developments related to the pandemic have been rapidly changing, and additional impacts and risks may arise that we may not currently foresee. Furthermore, the full extent to which the pandemic may adversely impact us or our results is currently uncertain and difficult to assess or predict with meaningful precision. We are similarly unable to predict the degree to which the pandemic may ultimately impact our customers, suppliers, and other business partners’ financial condition, but a material effect on these parties could also adversely affect us.

The extent to which the pandemic will ultimately impact us will depend on numerous future developments that are highly uncertain, including the severity and duration of the crisis and the extent of any further actions taken by governments in response, the ultimate impact on global economic activity and how quickly, and to what extent, normal economic and operating conditions can resume on a sustainable basis globally, as well as the extent and duration of the effect of the crisis on consumer confidence and spending.

Finally, the effects of COVID-19 may remain prevalent for a significant period of time and may continue to adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition even after the outbreak has subsided. The pandemic may also have the effect of exacerbating many of the other risks discussed in our 10-K Risk Factors and this 10-Q Report, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on us. Accordingly, the occurrence of one or more the foregoing factors could increase our costs and/or reduce the demand for our products, which could therefore have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity and cash flows. For additional information on the impact of the pandemic, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Business Overview” and for a discussion of the impact of changes in fuel prices on our business, see the 2019 10-K Risk Factors.
