1. Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Wright Express Corporation (“we,” “our,” “us,” the “Company” or “Wright Express”) is a leading provider of payment processing and information management services to the vehicle fleet industry. We utilize our wholly owned bank subsidiary, Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”), a Utah-chartered industrial bank that is regulated, supervised and regularly examined by the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to facilitate and manage transactions for vehicle fleets through our proprietary closed network of major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007.
In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements, and reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to present fairly results of the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. All adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations of any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year or any future interim period.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50 percent likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We did not recognize any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in conjunction with our FIN 48 implementation. However, as we accrue for such liabilities when they arise, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.

We had federal funds lines of credit of $135,000 at June 30, 2007, and $130,000 at December 31, 2006. The average rate on the outstanding lines of credit was 5.50 percent at June 30, 2007, and 5.41 percent at December 31, 2006.
4. Derivative Instruments
We use derivative instruments as part of our overall strategy to manage our exposure to fluctuations in fuel prices and to reduce the impact of interest rate volatility. As a matter of policy, we do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets in accordance with SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Gains or losses related to fuel price derivative instruments are recognized currently in earnings, as they do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. The instruments are presented on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as derivative instruments, at fair value. Our interest rate derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges in accordance with SFAS No. 133 and, accordingly, the change in fair value associated with the effective portion of these derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS No. 133 is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income and the ineffective portion, if any, is reported currently in earnings. Amounts included in other comprehensive income are reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged item affects earnings. These instruments are presented as either other assets or other liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Fuel Price Derivatives
We use derivative instruments to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices. We enter into put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel, which expire on a monthly basis through June 2009. The Options are intended to lock in a range of prices during any given quarter on a portion of our forecasted earnings subject to fuel price variations. Our fuel price risk management program is designed to purchase derivative instruments to manage our fuel price-related earnings exposure. We plan to continue locking in a significant portion of our fuel price related earnings exposure every quarter on a rolling basis.
The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of the Options which have been recorded in net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Swaps
In April 2005, we entered into interest rate swap arrangements (the “Swaps”) with two counterparties. The Swaps were designed as cash flow hedges intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our variable rate debt instruments. The fair value of the Swaps was recorded as other assets. The following table presents information about the Swaps:
Weighted average fixed base rate | 3.85 | % | ||
Aggregate notional amount of the Swaps: | ||||
For the period October 24, 2005 through April 23, 2006 | $ | 120,000 | ||
For the period April 24, 2006 through October 22, 2006 | $ | 100,000 | ||
For the period October 23, 2006 through April 23, 2007 | $ | 80,000 | ||
The following table summarizes the changes in the fair value of the Swaps.

(a) | Realized gains on the Swaps have been recorded in financing interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. | |
(b) | Change in unrealized gains on the Swaps, net of the tax impact, have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No ineffectiveness was reclassified into earnings during the periods shown in the table. |
The Swaps expired on April 23, 2007. There were no interest rate swap arrangements as of June 30, 2007. We did enter into an interest rate swap arrangement subsequent to June 30, 2007 (see Note 9, “Subsequent Events”).
5. Earnings per Share
Diluted earnings per common share is calculated using weighted-average shares outstanding, less weighted-average shares reacquired during the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of shares issuable upon the assumed conversion of our convertible, redeemable preferred stock and common stock equivalents, which consist of outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock units. The interest expense on convertible, redeemable preferred stock is added back to net income when the related common stock equivalents are included in computing diluted earnings per common share.

However, from time to time, we are subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, none of which we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

7. New Credit Facility
On May 22, 2007, we entered into a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”) with a lending syndication. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to (a) the British Bankers Association LIBOR rate plus a margin of 0.45% to 1.125% based on our consolidated leverage ratio or (b) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50% or the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., plus a margin of up to 0.125% based on our consolidated leverage ratio. In addition, we have agreed to pay a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.10% to 0.20% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. Any outstanding loans under the Credit Agreement mature on May 22, 2012, unless extended pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The agreement contains certain financial covenants.
Proceeds from the Credit Agreement were used to refinance our indebtedness under an existing credit facility (the “2005 Facility”). All balances owed by us, which included $20,000 on a revolving line-of-credit and $131,000 on a term loan, under the 2005 Facility have been paid and our obligations have been satisfied. We expensed $1,572 of unamortized loan origination fees in conjunction with the termination of the 2005 Facility. This charge has been recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income as loss on extinguishment of debt.
8. Segment Information
Operating segments are defined by SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets.
Our chief decision maker evaluates the operating results of our reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is currently defined by the Company as net income adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments.
We operate in two reportable segments, fleet and MasterCard. The fleet operating segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers. The fleet operating segment derives its revenue primarily from three marketing channels — direct, co-branded and private label. The MasterCard operating segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. Revenue in this segment is derived from two product lines — corporate charge cards and rotating accounts. The different MasterCard products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize the Company’s information management capabilities.
The accounting policies of the operating segments are generally the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
Financing interest expense and net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments are not allocated to the MasterCard segment in the computation of segment results for internal evaluation purposes. Total assets are also not allocated to the segments.

9. Subsequent Events
Effective July 23, 2007, we entered into interest rate swap arrangements with two counterparties. These interest rate swap arrangements were designed as cash flow hedges intended to reduce a portion of the variability of the future interest payments on our credit agreement. The fair value of these instruments will be recorded as other assets. The following table presents information about the interest rate swap arrangements:

In addition, on August 6, 2007, we acquired the privately held company TelaPoint, Inc. (“TelaPoint”) for approximately $40,000 in cash, financed through our existing credit facility. TelaPoint is a leading provider of browser-based supply chain software solutions for bulk petroleum distributors and retailers, serving more than 20,000 retail and wholesale sites across the country. TelaPoint will be included in our fleet operating segment.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist you in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2006, the notes accompanying those financial statements as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2007 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes inItem 1ofPart Ithis report.
Overview
Wright Express is a leading provider of payment processing and information management services to the vehicle fleet industry. We facilitate and manage transactions for vehicle fleets through our proprietary closed network of major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers. We provide fleets with detailed transaction data, analytical tools and purchase control capabilities. Our operations are organized as follows:
• | Fleet – The fleet operating segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of the vehicle fleet industry. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers. | ||
• | MasterCard – The MasterCard operating segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. The MasterCard products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize our information management capabilities. |
Summary
• | Total payment processing fuel transactions increased 15.6 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007, over the same period last year, to 53.2 million, and increased 16.0 percent during the six months ended June 30, 2007, over the same period last year, to 103.8 million. The increase was primarily driven by two factors: the conversion of ExxonMobil from a transaction processing program to a payment processing program in December 2006 and the overall growth in our customer base as indicated by the increase in average number of vehicles serviced. | |
• | The fuel price per gallon for payment processing transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2007, was $2.95. This was a 3.3 percent increase compared to the same period a year ago. The fuel price per gallon for payment processing transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2007, was $2.70. This was a 2.3 percent increase compared to the same period a year ago. The collar on our fuel derivatives had a floor of $2.29 and a ceiling of $2.36 for the second quarter of this year compared to a floor of $1.88 and a ceiling of $1.95 for the second quarter of 2006. As a result of the higher floor and ceiling on the derivative instruments, the realized losses were $5.6 million in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the realized losses of $13.0 million for the second quarter in 2006. Realized losses were $5.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the realized losses of $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. | |
• | Credit losses in the fleet operating segment were $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, versus $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. Credit losses in the fleet operating segment were $8.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, versus $6.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The additional credit loss expense for the six months ended June 30, 2007, is linked to higher net accounts receivable as a result of the December 31, 2006, purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio and higher charge-offs due to historically high fuel prices in 2006. |

Table of Contents
• | Total MasterCard purchase volume grew $132 million to $464 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 39.6 percent over the same period last year. Total MasterCard purchase volume grew $248 million to $850 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, an increase of 41.1 percent over the same period last year. Growth was primarily driven by spend on single use account card, formerly referred to as the rotating purchase card product. | |
• | Our operating interest expense, which includes interest accruing on deposits and federal funds, increased to $8.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2007, from $6.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2006. Operating interest expense increased to $15.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, from $10.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio in December of 2006 resulted in an increase in operating interest expense of $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior year, and a $2.2 million increase in operating interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in the prior year. The remainder of the increase in operating interest expense for both periods was primarily due to an increase in the average interest rate and an increase in the number of gallons being funded. | |
• | Our effective tax rate was 35.5 percent for three months ended June 30, 2007, and 31.3 percent for the same period last year. Our effective tax rate was 35.8 percent for six months ended June 30, 2007, and 33.8 percent for the same period last year. Quarterly and yearly fluctuations in the effective tax rate are primarily due to the impact of realized and unrealized gains and losses on our fuel price derivatives on the allocation of our taxable income between states. |

Payment processing revenue increased $8.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period last year. Payment processing revenue increased $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period last year. These increases were primarily due to a 16 percent increase in the number of payment processing transactions during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio to a payment processing program in December 2006 contributed approximately 7 percent of the 15 percent increase in payment processing revenue for both the three months ended June 30, 2007, and the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Transaction processing revenue decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Transaction processing revenue decreased $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. The decrease in revenue is due to a decrease in transaction processing transactions due to the conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio from a transaction processing program to a payment processing program.

Our finance fees have increased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, over the same period in the prior year to $6.4 million, and increased $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, over the same period in the prior year to $11.9 million. Approximately $0.6 million of the increase in finance fees for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and approximately $0.9 million of the increase in finance fees for the six months ended June 30, 2007, correspond to higher amounts subject late fees as a result of the conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio. The remaining increase in late fees correlates to the increase in our accounts receivable balance exclusive of the ExxonMobil accounts.
Changes in operating expenses for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the corresponding periods a year ago, include the following:
• | Credit losses were $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $2.6 million for the same period last year. Credit losses were $8.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to $6.2 million for the same period last year. We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions (“Fuel Expenditures”). This metric for credit losses was 9.3 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 10.9 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. The conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio did not have a significant impact to the quarterly credit loss expense as compared to prior year. Credit losses were 15.5 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to 13.2 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year. The conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio to a payment processing program resulted in approximately 1 basis point increase to expense for the six month period. The ExxonMobil portfolio consists primarily of small fleets, which experienced higher loss rates than our other portfolios during the first quarter of 2007. The remaining increase was driven by higher charge-offs in our other fleet portfolios. The higher charge-offs correlate to historically high fuel prices in 2006. | ||
• | Operating interest expense: |
Operating interest expense increased $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Our average operating debt balance, which consists of our deposits and borrowed federal funds, totaled $569.6 million for the second quarter of this year as compared to our average operating debt balance of $394.0 million for the second quarter of 2006. In late December 2006, we borrowed additional operating debt to fund the $86.8 million purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio. Average operating debt related to this purchase resulted in an increase in operating interest expense of $1.1 million. An increase in weighted average interest rates to 5.3 percent in the three months ended June 30, 2007, from 4.8 percent in same period a year ago resulted in an increase to operating interest expense of $0.5 million. The remaining increase in operating interest expense is primarily due to an increase in Fuel Expenditures, exclusive of the ExxonMobil transactions.
Operating interest expense increased $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same period in 2006. Our average operating debt balance for the first half of this year totaled $506.3 million as compared to our average operating debt balance of $364.0 million for the first half of 2006. Average debt related to the purchase of the ExxonMobil portfolio resulted in an increase of $2.2 million in operating interest expense. An increase in weighted average interest rates to 5.3 percent in the six months ended June 30, 2007, from 4.6 percent in same period last year resulted in an increase to operating interest expense of $1.3 million. The remaining increase in operating interest expense is primarily due to an increase in Fuel Expenditures, exclusive of the ExxonMobil transactions.
Changes in interest rates may create volatility in our operating interest expense.
• | Salary and other personnel expenses increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period last year. Salary and other personnel expenses increased $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period last year. Throughout 2006 and during 2007 we added costs primarily in the sales, finance and information technology areas to support growth in our existing business and to facilitate new product offerings. Headcount additions included 28 new sales positions, of which, 10 are dedicated to the ExxonMobil program. |

Table of Contents
• | Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006, and increased $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period in 2006. This increase in each period is due to the addition of capital assets as we enhance our product features and functionality. |
Financing interest expense is related primarily to the corporate credit facility and secondarily to the preferred stock. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2007, consists of only one month of interest expense related to our February 2005 corporate credit facility and two months of interest expense from our new corporate credit facility. We refinanced our debt and entered into a new credit facility on May 22, 2007. Finance interest expense decreased $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to same period last year. Finance interest expense decreased $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same period last year. The primary reason for this decline is the average debt balance decreasing to $170.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $215.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. The average debt balance decreased to $171.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to $221.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The average interest rate increased to 7.1 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 6.8 percent for the same period last year. The average interest rate increased to 6.9 percent for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to 6.7 percent for the same period last year. The outstanding balance on our corporate credit facility at June 30, 2007, was $164.6 million. The refinancing of our debt resulted in a debt extinguishment expense of $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.
We own fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices on our cash flows. Our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. Accordingly, gains and losses on our fuel price-sensitive derivative instruments affect our net income. The following table illustrates the relationship between our realized and unrealized losses, the collar range and the average fuel price for each period covered.

Payment processing revenue and the related operating expenses increased due to higher MasterCard purchase volume, primarily driven by new business from our single use account card. Offsetting a portion of the increase in payment processing revenue during 2007 was an increase in rebates. Some of our customers have reached higher payout tiers qualifying for higher rebate amounts. Other revenues in 2006 included $0.5 million from the proceeds of MasterCard’s initial public offering during the second quarter of 2006.
Operating expenses have increased in the following areas:
• | Service fee expenses are based on a purchase volume which has increased period over period. | ||
• | Operating interest expense increased approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, over the same periods in the prior year. | ||
• | The provision for credit loss was higher by $0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, and $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods last year. |

Our results for the second quarter of 2007 used approximately $2 million of cash. In comparison, we used approximately $28 million of cash during the second quarter of 2006. Significant cash flow differences between the first half of 2007 as compared to the first half of 2006 include:
• | Operating cash of $341 million was used to fund receivable balances for 2007 compared to $245 million for the same period a year ago – an additional usage of $96 million. Net accounts receivable have increased primarily as a result of the conversion of the ExxonMobil portfolio to a payment processing program, an increase in payment processing transactions and a 3 percent increase in the price per gallon of fuel. | ||
• | Investing cash included maturities of available-for-sale securities of $15 million during the first six months of 2006. Maturities during the first six months of 2007 were less than $1 million. | ||
• | Deposits and borrowed federal funds provided $165 million in 2007 compared to $46 million provided during the same period a year ago – a change in cash of $119 million. During the first half of 2007, net cash provided by deposits, federal funds and accounts payable were used to fund a majority of our accounts receivable. | ||
• | We used $21 million as part of the new share repurchase program during the first six months of 2007. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we used approximately $9 million for capital expenditures. Our capital expenditures are primarily to enhance product features and functionality and to acquire information systems and equipment. Capital expenditures are slightly higher than same period a year ago. In addition, we entered into an agreement for approximately $3 million for a software license which we capitalized. This license was financed over 3 years. We expect total capital expenditures for 2007, including the capitalized software license, to be approximately $19 to $21 million.

We utilize certificates of deposit to finance the accounts receivable of our bank subsidiary, FSC. FSC issues certificates of deposit at various maturities ranging between three months and three years and with effective annual fixed rates ranging from 4.45% to 5.45%. As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately $594 million of certificates of deposit outstanding. Certificate of deposit borrowings are subject to regulatory capital requirements. We also utilize federal funds lines of credit to supplement the financing of the accounts receivable of our bank subsidiary.
On May 22, 2007, we extinguished our term loan and entered into a revolving line-of-credit facility agreement with a lending syndication. At June 30, 2007 we had outstanding borrowings on the Credit Agreement of $164.6 million for non-portfolio related cash needs.
Our new credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants that limit our ability to pay dividends, sell or transfer all or substantially all of our property or assets, incur more indebtedness or make guarantees, grant or incur liens on our assets, make investments, loans, advances or acquisitions, engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations or dissolutions, enter into sales or leasebacks and change our accounting policies or reporting practices. FSC is not subject to certain of these restrictions. We were in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions at June 30, 2007.
Additional borrowings under the new revolving line-of-credit facility agreement may be used to fund future acquisitions, re-acquire additional shares of our common stock or fund other future non-portfolio related cash needs.
Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Many accounting estimates and assumptions involved in the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have a material impact on reported financial condition and operating performance and on the comparability of such reported information over different reporting periods. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments that we believe are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. We regard an accounting estimate or assumption underlying our financial statements to be most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and therefore a “critical accounting estimate” where:
• | The nature of the estimate or assumption is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for a highly uncertain matter or the susceptibility of such matter to change; and |
• | The impact of the estimate and assumption on our financial condition or operating performance is material. |
Page 22 of 31
Table of Contents
Reserve for Credit Losses
Our reserve for credit losses is an estimate of the amounts currently recorded in gross accounts receivable that will ultimately not be collected. The reserve reduces our accounts receivable balances as reported in our financial statements to their net realizable value. Management estimates these reserves based on assumptions and other considerations, including a review of accounts receivable balances which become past due, past loss experience, customer payment patterns, current economic conditions, known fraud activity in the portfolio and industry averages.
Management utilizes a model to calculate the level of the reserve for credit losses which includes such factors as:
• | a six-month rolling average of actual charge-off experience; | ||
• | amounts currently due; | ||
• | the age of the balances; | ||
• | estimated bankruptcy rates; and, | ||
• | the absolute dollar value of the accounts receivable portfolio. |
In addition to the model, management uses their judgment to ensure that the reserve for credit losses that is established is reasonable and appropriate.
Management believes that the assumptions and other considerations it uses to estimate the reserve for credit losses are appropriate. Management has been materially accurate in past assumptions. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating the reserves, the resulting change could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, and in certain situations could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Income Taxes
In calculating our effective tax rate, we apportion income among the various state taxing jurisdictions based upon where we do business. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate the judgments and estimates underlying our calculation of the effective tax rates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the effective tax rate. Changes in the location of taxable income or loss can result in significant changes in the effective tax rate. Materially different results in the amount and timing of our actual results for any period could occur if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
We make judgments regarding the realizability of our deferred tax assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes, the carrying value of net deferred tax assets is based on the belief that it is more likely than not that we will generate sufficient future taxable income in certain jurisdictions to realize these deferred tax assets after consideration of all available positive and negative evidence. Future realization of the tax benefit of existing deductible temporary differences or carry forwards ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carry back and carry forward period available under the tax law. Future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projections of future taxable income excluding reversing temporary differences and carry forwards, taxable income in prior carry back years, and prudent and feasible tax planning strategies that would, if necessary, be implemented to preserve the deferred tax asset, may be considered to identify possible sources of taxable income. At June 30, 2007, we had net deferred tax assets of approximately $366 million of which the significant components relate to goodwill deductible for income tax purposes and state net operating losses in tax jurisdictions which require non-consolidated tax returns. Management has determined that the likelihood of realization of the deferred tax asset has met the “more likely than not” criteria established by SFAS No. 109. Thus, no valuation allowances have been established. If future taxable income differs from management’s estimate, allowances may be required and may impact our future net income.
On July 13, 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109 and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attributes for financial statement disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be
Page 23 of 31
Table of Contents
taken on a tax return. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more likely than not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50 percent likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. We did not recognize any material liability for unrecognized tax benefits in conjunction with our FIN 48 implementation. However, as we accrue for such liabilities when they arise, we will recognize interest and penalties associated with uncertain tax positions as part of our income tax provision.
Cautionary Statement for Purposes of the “Safe Harbor” Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. When used in this quarterly report, the words “may,” “will,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. These statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or the performance by us to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this quarterly report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers:
• | Our revenues are largely dependent on fuel prices, which are prone to significant volatility. | ||
• | Our derivative instruments may expose us to the risk of financial loss if we determine it necessary to unwind our position prior to the expiration of the contract. | ||
• | Our failure to respond to competitive pressures with reduced fees or increased levels of capabilities and services. | ||
• | Major oil companies who have not traditionally provided universally accepted transaction processing may issue competing products and information management services specifically tailored to their fleet customers. | ||
• | Our failure to maintain or renew key agreements could adversely affect the number of fleet customer relationships we maintain or the number of locations that accept our payment processing services. In this regard, our top five strategic relationships are two of the largest North American oil companies and three of the largest domestic fleet management companies. | ||
• | A decrease in demand for fuel as a result of a general downturn in the economic conditions in the United States or an increase in popularity of automobiles powered by alternative fuel sources, such as “hybrid” vehicle technology. | ||
• | Our failure to expand our technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as our competitors. | ||
• | Our failure to adequately assess and monitor credit risks of our customers could result in a significant increase in our bad debt expense. | ||
• | The actions of regulatory bodies, including bank regulators. | ||
• | Acts of terrorism, war, or civil disturbance. | ||
• | A decline in general economic conditions. | ||
• | Our ability to achieve earnings forecasts, which are generated based on projected volumes. There can be no assurance that we will achieve the projected level of fuel and service transactions. | ||
• | The uncertainties of litigation, as well as other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including the risk factors included inItem 1Aof our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and updated risk factors inPart II, Item 1Ain this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |
The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this quarterly report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements.

Changes in Accounting Policies and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes to accounting policies that had or are expected to have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. There have been no recently issued accounting pronouncements that have not already been discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2007.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
The following quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2007.

The table above does not reflect the impact of these derivatives on our pre-tax income, as management cannot predict the changes in market value of these instruments. These market value changes are unrealized and have no cash impact but must be reported as unrealized gains and losses in our operating results.
We enter into put and call option contracts (“Options”) based on the wholesale price of unleaded gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel to manage the impact of volatility in fuel prices to our cash flows. These contracts expire on a monthly basis according to the schedule below. The Options are intended to lock in a range of prices during any given quarter on a portion of our forecasted earnings subject to fuel price variations. Our fuel price risk management program is designed to purchase derivative instruments to manage the Company’s fuel price-related earnings exposure. We plan to continue locking in about 90 percent of our earnings exposure every quarter, on a rolling basis. The following table presents information about the Options as of June 30, 2007:
Weighted Average Price(b) | ||||||||||||
Percentage(a) | Floor | Ceiling | ||||||||||
For the period April 1, 2007 through June 30, 2007 | 90 | % | $ | 2.29 | $ | 2.36 | ||||||

(b) | Weighted average price is the Company’s estimate of the retail price equivalent of the underlying strike price of the Options. |

Table of Contents
The Options limit the impact fuel price fluctuations have on our cash flows. The Options that we have entered into:
• | Create a floor price that results in cash receipts to us when the price goes below the floor price. | ||
• | Create a ceiling price that results in cash payments by us when the price goes above the ceiling price. | ||
• | Result in no cash settlement when prices are between the floor and ceiling prices. |
Our fuel price derivatives for gasoline are based on a wholesale index; our fuel price derivatives for diesel fuel are based on a retail index. We earn our payment processing revenues based on retail fuel prices. Differences between the indices and the actual retail prices may create a mismatch, which may result in an increase or decrease to our realized gains and losses.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of Wright Express Corporation evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. “Disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on their evaluation, the principal executive officers and principal financial officers of Wright Express Corporation concluded that the company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the period covered by this report.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings. We also were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the second quarter of 2007.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Except as provided below, there has not been a material change to the risk factors disclosed inItem 1Aof the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The following risk factors have been updated to reflect a change in Utah law allowing control of up to 10 percent of the common stock of the Company instead of the 5 percent threshold as previously reported.
Risks Relating to Our Common Stock
If any entity controls 10 percent or more of our common stock and such entity has caused a violation of applicable banking laws by its failure to obtain any required approvals prior to acquiring that common stock, we have the power to restrict such entity’s ability to vote shares held by it.
As owners of a Utah industrial bank, we are subject to banking regulations that require any entity that controls 10 percent or more of our common stock to obtain the prior approval of the Utah banking authorities and the federal banking regulators. A failure to comply with these requirements could result in sanctions, including the loss of our Utah industrial bank charter. Our certificate of incorporation requires that if any stockholder fails to provide us with satisfactory evidence that any required approvals have been obtained, we may, or will if required by state or federal regulators, restrict such stockholder’s ability to vote such shares with respect to any matter subject to a vote of our stockholders.
Provisions in our charter documents, Delaware law and applicable banking law may delay or prevent our acquisition by a third party.
Our certificate of incorporation, by-laws and our rights plan contain several provisions that may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of us without the approval of our board of directors. These provisions include, among other things, a classified board of directors, the elimination of stockholder action by written consent, advance notice for raising business or making nominations at meetings of stockholders, and “blank check” preferred stock. Blank check preferred stock enables our board of directors, without stockholder approval, to designate and issue additional series of preferred stock with such special dividend, liquidation, conversion, voting or other rights, including the right to issue convertible securities with no limitations on conversion, and rights to dividends and proceeds in a liquidation that are senior to the common stock, as our board of directors may determine. These provisions may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting common stock. We also are subject to certain provisions of Delaware law, which could delay, deter or prevent us from entering into an acquisition, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prohibits a Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination with an interested stockholder unless specific conditions are met. These provisions also may delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender offer, proxy contest or other transaction that might otherwise result in our stockholders receiving a premium over the market price for their common stock.
In addition, because we own a Utah industrial bank, any purchaser of our common stock who would own 10 percent or more of our common stock after such purchase would be required to obtain the prior consent of Utah banking authorities and the federal banking authorities prior to consummating any such acquisition. These regulatory requirements may preclude or delay the purchase of a relatively large ownership stake by certain potential investors.

Share repurchases will be made on the open market and may be commenced or suspended at any time. The Company’s management, based on its evaluation of market and economic conditions and other factors, will determine the timing and number of shares repurchased. |
