Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	'
	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from realized foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange gains of $282,148 and $19,961 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $248,537 and $125,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are recorded within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Equity Method Investment
	The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments when the Company does not control the investee, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and finance policies. Equity method investments are recorded at cost, with the allocable portion of the investee’s income or loss reported in earnings, and adjusted for capital contributions to and distributions from the investee. Distributions in excess of equity method earnings, if any, are recognized as a return of investment and recorded as investing cash flows in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company reviews its equity investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company‘s investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	Foreign Currency
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated) or step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefit When an NOL Exists
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”, which indicates that to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition — Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606.

Receivables [Abstract]	'
Accounts Receivable	'
	2. Accounts Receivable
	The Company maintains a $500 million revolving trade accounts receivable Securitization Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FleetCor Funding LLC (Funding) a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding sells, without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $500 million of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold to the Conduit. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper.
	The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an alternative to other forms of financing, to reduce its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing. The Company retains a residual interest in the accounts receivable sold as a form of credit enhancement. The residual interest’s fair value approximates carrying value due to its short-term nature. Funding determines the level of funding achieved by the sale of trade accounts receivable, subject to a maximum amount.
	On February 3, 2014, the Company extended the term of its asset securitization facility to February 2, 2015. The Company capitalized $0.5 million in deferred financing fees in connection with this extension.
	The Company’s accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable include the following at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
		June 30,			December 31,
		2014			2013
	Gross domestic accounts receivable	$	157,001		$	107,627
	Gross domestic securitized accounts receivable		424,400			349,000
	Gross foreign receivables		554,280			488,140
	Total gross receivables		1,135,681			944,767
	Less allowance for doubtful accounts		(22,754	)		(22,416	)
	Net accounts and securitized accounts receivable	$	1,112,927		$	922,351
	Foreign receivables are not included in the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, there was $424.4 million and $349 million, respectively, of short-term debt outstanding under the Company’s accounts receivable Securitization Facility.
	A rollforward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for six months ended June 30 is as follows (in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Allowance for doubtful accounts beginning of period	$	22,416		$	19,463
	Add:
	Provision for bad debts		12,283			9,199
	Less:
	Write-offs		(11,945	)		(8,422	)

Fair Value Measurements	'
	3. Fair Value Measurements
	The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that reset on a quarterly basis. These are each level 2 fair value measurements, except for cash, which is a level 1 fair value measurement.
	The Company’s nonfinancial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include property, plant and equipment, equity method investment, goodwill and other intangible assets. As necessary, the Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as appropriate, to estimate the fair values of the assets using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements are in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as part of the Company’s annual impairment assessments and as impairment indicators are identified.
	Fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.
	As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
		•		Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
		•		Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
		•		Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
	We have highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We utilize Level 2 fair value determinations derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information to determine the fair value of these highly liquid investments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested on an overnight basis in repurchase agreements. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the treasury securities associated with the repurchase agreements. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.
	The Company estimates the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration using various valuation approaches including the Monte Carlo Simulation approach and the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach. Acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities are classified as Level 3 liabilities because the Company uses unobservable inputs to value them, reflecting the Company’s assessment of the assumptions market participants would use to value these liabilities. Changes in the fair value of acquisition related contingent consideration are recorded as (income) expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The acquisition related contingent consideration liabilities are recorded in other current liabilities.
	The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair values on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands).
			Fair Value			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

	The level within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement technique are reviewed quarterly. Transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

	Awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units are independent of stock option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to vesting. The vesting of the restricted stock and restricted stock units granted is generally based on the passage of time, performance or market conditions. Shares vesting based on the passage of time have vesting provisions ranging from one to four years.
	The fair value of restricted stock granted based on market conditions was estimated using the Monte Carlo option pricing model at the grant date. The risk-free interest rate and volatility assumptions for restricted stock shares granted with market conditions were calculated consistently with those applied in the Black-Scholes options pricing model utilized in determining the fair value of the stock option awards. No such awards were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.

	2014 Acquisitions
	During 2014, the Company has made payments related to acquisitions in aggregate of $166.7 million. During 2014, the Company has made deferred payments of purchase price related to 2013 acquisitions of $23.2 million.
	On April 28, 2014, the Company completed an equity method investment in Masternaut Group Holdings Limited (“Masternaut”), Europe’s largest provider of telematics solutions to commercial fleets, included in “Equity method investment” in its unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company owns 44% of the outstanding equity of Masternaut.
	2013 Acquisitions
	During 2013, the Company completed acquisitions with an aggregate purchase price of $849.2 million, net of cash acquired of $35.6 million, including deferred payments of $36.8 million and the estimated fair value of contingent earn out payments of $83.8 million.
	For certain acquisitions in 2013, the consideration transferred includes contingent consideration based on achieving specific financial metrics in future periods. The contingent consideration agreements (the “agreements”) require the Company to pay the respective prior owners if earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and revenues grow at a specified rate over the most recent corresponding specified period, based on a sliding scale. The potential future payments that the Company could be required to make related to these contingent consideration agreements ranges from $76 to $90 million based on current operating results. The fair value of the arrangements included in the acquisition consideration is estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation approach and the probability-weighted discounted cash flow approach and considered historic expenses, historic EBITDA and revenue growth and current projections for the respective acquired entities. The Company recorded $83.8 million of contingent consideration, which is payable in the second half of 2014 and first quarter of 2015. As the payments are due within one year of the date of acquisition, the Company did not apply a discount rate to the potential payments. Any changes to the contingent consideration ultimately paid or any changes in the fair value of such amounts would result in additional income or expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Changes in the fair values of the respective contingent earn out payments during the second quarter of 2014 were not material. Acquisition amounts are presented at the applicable acquisition date foreign exchange spot rate.
	The Company’s purchase price allocation related to each of the entities acquired in 2013 is preliminary, except for that of FleetCard and CardLink, as the working capital adjustment periods remain open.
	2013 Totals
	The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the purchase price for all acquisitions during 2013 (in thousands):

	In connection with 2013 acquisitions, the Company has uncertain tax positions aggregating $15.5 million and contingent liabilities aggregating $53.7 million. The Company has been indemnified by the respective sellers for a portion of these acquired liabilities. As a result, an indemnification asset of $56.2 million was recorded. The potential range of acquisition related contingent liabilities that the Company estimates would be incurred and ultimately recoverable, and for which the Company has recorded indemnification assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, is $55.1 million to $56.2 million.

	(a)	The Company entered into a Credit Agreement on June 22, 2011. On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment added two United Kingdom entities as designated borrowers and added a $110 million foreign currency swing line of credit sub facility under the existing revolver, which allows for alternate currency borrowing on the swing line. On November 6, 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement to add an additional term loan of $250 million and increase the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $600 million to $850 million. In addition, we increased the accordion feature from $150 million to $250 million. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides for a $550 million term loan facility and an $850 million revolving credit facility. On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement to extend the term of the facility for an additional five years from the amendment date, with a new maturity date of March 20, 2018, separated the revolver into two tranches (a $815 million Revolving A facility and a $35 million Revolving B facility), added additional designated borrowers with the ability to borrow in local currency and US Dollars under the Revolving B facility and removed a cap to allow for additional investments in certain business relationships. The revolving line of credit contains a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $20 million sublimit for swing line loans and sublimits for multicurrency borrowings in Euros, Sterling, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars. On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to allow for a minority interest investment in an unrestricted subsidiary.
	Interest ranges from the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.25% to 1.25% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25% to 2.25%. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the Facility. The term note is payable in quarterly installments and is due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due in March 2018. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are repayable at the option of one, two, three or nine months after borrowing. Borrowings on the foreign swing line of credit are due no later than ten business days after such loan is made. This facility is referred to as the Credit Facility. Principal payments of $13.8 million were made on the term loan during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This facility includes a revolving line of credit and foreign currency swing line of credit on which the Company borrowed funds during the periods presented.
	(b)	The Company is party to a $500 million receivables purchase agreement (Securitization Facility) that was amended for the tenth time on February 3, 2014 to extend the facility termination date to February 2, 2015, to change pricing and to return to prorata funding by the participating banks. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR and the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.17% plus 0.65% and 0.17% plus 0.675% as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.25% per annum as of June 30, 2014 and 0.30% per annum as of December 31, 2013. The Securitization Facility provides for certain termination events, which includes nonpayment, upon the occurrence of which the administrator may declare the facility termination date to have occurred, may exercise certain enforcement rights with respect to the receivables, and may appoint a successor servicer, among other things.
	(c)	In connection with the Company’s acquisition in New Zealand, the Company entered into a $12 million New Zealand dollar ($10.6 million) facility that is used for local working capital needs. This facility is a one year facility that currently matures on April 30, 2015. A line of credit charge of 0.025% times the facility limit is charged each month plus interest on outstanding borrowings is charged at the Bank Bill Mid-Market (BKBM) settlement rate plus a margin of 1.0%. The Company did not have an outstanding unpaid balance on this facility at June 30, 2014.
	(d)	Other debt includes other deferred liabilities associated with certain of our businesses.

	11. Commitments and Contingencies
	In the ordinary course of business, the Company is involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company has recorded reserves for certain legal proceedings. The amounts recorded are estimated and as additional information becomes available, the Company will reassess the potential liability related to its pending litigation and revise its estimate in the period that information becomes known. In the opinion of management, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.
	As part of certain acquisitions in 2013, the purchase price includes provisions for contingent consideration based on achieving certain financial metrics in future periods. The contingent consideration agreements (the “agreements”) require the Company to pay the respective prior owners if earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and revenues grow at a specified rate over the most recent corresponding specified period, based on a sliding scale. Any changes to the contingent consideration ultimately paid or any changes in the fair value of such amounts would result in additional income or expense on the Consolidated Statements of Income. Fluctuations due to changes in foreign exchange rates have been recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. At June 30, 2014, contingent consideration for these acquisitions is $86.7 million, and is included in other current liabilities within the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	In connection with 2013 acquisitions, the Company recorded uncertain tax positions aggregating $15.5 million and contingent liabilities aggregating $53.7 million, at June 30, 2014. A portion of these acquired liabilities have been indemnified by the respective sellers. As a result, an indemnification asset of $56.2 million was recorded at June 30, 2014. The contingent liabilities represent our bet estimate of the probable outcome of the contingency. The estimates recorded for the contingent liabilities are subject to change based on our final evaluation of the information available at the acquisition date. Any changes to the contingent liability based on our final conclusion will be accompanied by a corresponding change to the indemnification asset.

	Basis of Presentation
	Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014.
	The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Foreign Currency Translation	'
	Foreign Currency Translation
	Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from realized foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange gains of $282,148 and $19,961 for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $248,537 and $125,022 for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are recorded within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
Equity Method Investment	'
	Equity Method Investment
	The Company applies the equity method of accounting for investments when the Company does not control the investee, but has the ability to exercise significant influence over its operating and finance policies. Equity method investments are recorded at cost, with the allocable portion of the investee’s income or loss reported in earnings, and adjusted for capital contributions to and distributions from the investee. Distributions in excess of equity method earnings, if any, are recognized as a return of investment and recorded as investing cash flows in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company reviews its equity investment for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the Company‘s investment may have experienced an other-than-temporary decline in value.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards	'
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	Foreign Currency
	In March 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-05 “Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity”, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment (“CTA”) related to an entity’s investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity, loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated) or step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity). The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
	Unrecognized Tax Benefit When an NOL Exists
	In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”, which indicates that to the extent a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction to settle any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction does not require the entity to use, and the entity does not intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a liability and should not be combined with deferred tax assets. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company’s adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 606, Revenue Recognition — Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606.

	(a)	The Company entered into a Credit Agreement on June 22, 2011. On March 13, 2012, the Company entered into the first amendment to the Credit Agreement. This Amendment added two United Kingdom entities as designated borrowers and added a $110 million foreign currency swing line of credit sub facility under the existing revolver, which allows for alternate currency borrowing on the swing line. On November 6, 2012, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Credit Agreement to add an additional term loan of $250 million and increase the borrowing limit on the revolving line of credit from $600 million to $850 million. In addition, we increased the accordion feature from $150 million to $250 million. As amended, the Credit Agreement provides for a $550 million term loan facility and an $850 million revolving credit facility. On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Credit Agreement to extend the term of the facility for an additional five years from the amendment date, with a new maturity date of March 20, 2018, separated the revolver into two tranches (a $815 million Revolving A facility and a $35 million Revolving B facility), added additional designated borrowers with the ability to borrow in local currency and US Dollars under the Revolving B facility and removed a cap to allow for additional investments in certain business relationships. The revolving line of credit contains a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit, a $20 million sublimit for swing line loans and sublimits for multicurrency borrowings in Euros, Sterling, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollars and New Zealand Dollars. On April 28, 2014, the Company entered into a fourth amendment to the Credit Agreement to allow for a minority interest investment in an unrestricted subsidiary.
	Interest ranges from the sum of the Base Rate plus 0.25% to 1.25% or the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.25% to 2.25%. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the Facility. The term note is payable in quarterly installments and is due on the last business day of each March, June, September, and December with the final principal payment due in March 2018. Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are repayable at the option of one, two, three or nine months after borrowing. Borrowings on the foreign swing line of credit are due no later than ten business days after such loan is made. This facility is referred to as the Credit Facility. Principal payments of $13.8 million were made on the term loan during the six months ended June 30, 2014. This facility includes a revolving line of credit and foreign currency swing line of credit on which the Company borrowed funds during the periods presented.
	(b)	The Company is party to a $500 million receivables purchase agreement (Securitization Facility) that was amended for the tenth time on February 3, 2014 to extend the facility termination date to February 2, 2015, to change pricing and to return to prorata funding by the participating banks. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR and the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.17% plus 0.65% and 0.17% plus 0.675% as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.25% per annum as of June 30, 2014 and 0.30% per annum as of December 31, 2013. The Securitization Facility provides for certain termination events, which includes nonpayment, upon the occurrence of which the administrator may declare the facility termination date to have occurred, may exercise certain enforcement rights with respect to the receivables, and may appoint a successor servicer, among other things.
	(c)	In connection with the Company’s acquisition in New Zealand, the Company entered into a $12 million New Zealand dollar ($10.6 million) facility that is used for local working capital needs. This facility is a one year facility that currently matures on April 30, 2015. A line of credit charge of 0.025% times the facility limit is charged each month plus interest on outstanding borrowings is charged at the Bank Bill Mid-Market (BKBM) settlement rate plus a margin of 1.0%. The Company did not have an outstanding unpaid balance on this facility at June 30, 2014.
	(d)	Other debt includes other deferred liabilities associated with certain of our businesses.
