Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Business Description | WEX Inc. (“Company”, “we” or “our”) is the global commerce platform that simplifies the business of running a business. We operate in three reportable segments: Mobility, Corporate Payments, and Benefits, which are described in more detail in Note 24, Segment Information. |
Basis of Presentation | The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP and with the Rules and Regulations of the SEC, specifically Regulation S–X and the instructions to Form 10–K. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences may be material. |
Variable Interest Entities | Variable interest entities (“VIEs”) are consolidated if the Company is the primary beneficiary. We securitize certain customer accounts receivable by transferring the receivables to various bankruptcy-remote VIEs in which we have a variable interest. We have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of each respective VIE as we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. As a result, we consolidate the respective VIEs within our consolidated financial statements. |
Use of Estimates and Assumptions | The Company rounds amounts in the consolidated financial statements to millions within tables and text (unless otherwise specified), and calculates all percentages and per-share data from underlying whole-dollar amounts. Thus, certain amounts may not foot, crossfoot, or recalculate based on reported numbers due to rounding. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Highly liquid investments with original maturities at the time of purchase of three months or less (that are readily convertible to cash) are considered to be cash equivalents and are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and cash equivalents include Eurodollar time deposits and money market funds, which are unsecured short-term investments entered into with financial institutions. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted cash represents funds collected from individuals or employers on behalf of our customers that are to be remitted to third parties, funds required to be maintained under certain vendor agreements, and amounts received from OTAs held in segregated accounts until a transaction is settled. Restricted cash is not available to fund the Company’s operations. We generally maintain an offsetting liability against the restricted cash. |
Accounts Receivable, Net of Allowances | Accounts receivable consists of billed and unbilled amounts due from customers across a wide range of industries and other third parties. The Company often extends short-term credit to cardholders and pays the merchant or payment network, as applicable, for the purchase price, less the fees it retains and records as revenue. The Company collects the total purchase price from the cardholder. In general, the Company’s trade receivables provide for payment terms of 30 days or less. Receivables not paid in full by payment due dates, as stated within the terms of the agreement, are generally considered past due and subject to late fees and interest based upon the outstanding receivables balance. The Company discontinues late fee and interest income accruals on outstanding receivables once customers are 90 and 120 days past the invoice due date, respectively. Payments received subsequent to discontinuing late fee and interest income accruals are first applied to outstanding late fees and interest, and the Company resumes accruing interest and late fee income as earned on future receivables balances. Receivables are generally written off when they are 180 days past invoice origination date or upon declaration of bankruptcy of the customer, subject to local regulatory restrictions. The Company extends revolving credit to certain small fleets. These accounts are also subject to late fees and balances that are not paid in full are subject to interest charges based on the revolving balance. The Company had approximately $114.1 million and $133.3 million in receivables with revolving credit balances as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. |
Allowance for Accounts Receivable | The allowance for accounts receivable reflects management’s current estimate of uncollectible balances on its accounts receivable and consists primarily of reserves for credit losses. The reserve for credit losses reduces the Company’s accounts receivable balances, as reported in the consolidated financial statements, to the net realizable value. The reserve for expected credit losses includes both a quantitative and qualitative reserve component. The quantitative component is primarily calculated using an analytic model, which includes the consideration of historical loss experience and past events to calculate loss-rates at the portfolio level. It also includes reserves against specific customer account balances determined to be at risk for non-collection based on customer information including delinquency, changes in payment patterns and other information. The qualitative component is determined through analyzing recent trends in economic indicators and other current and forecasted information to determine whether loss-rates are expected to change significantly in comparison to historical loss-rates at the portfolio level. When such indicators are forecasted to deviate from the current or historical median, the Company qualitatively assesses what impact, if any, the trends are expected to have on the reserve for credit losses. Economic indicators include consumer price indices, business bankruptcy trends, consumer spending and housing starts, among others. See Note 6, Allowance for Accounts Receivable for changes in the accounts receivable allowances by portfolio segment during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 as a result of these assessments. Accounts receivable are evaluated for credit losses on a pooling basis based on similar risk characteristics including industry of the borrower, historical or expected credit loss patterns, risk ratings or classification, and geographic location. As a result of this evaluation, our portfolio segments consist of the following: • Mobility - The majority of the customer base consists of companies within the transportation, logistics and fleet industries. The associated credit losses by customer are generally low, however, the Mobility segment has historically comprised the majority of the Company’s provision for credit loss. Credit losses generally correlate with changes in consumer price indices and other indices that measure trends and volatility including the Institute of Supply Management Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index and Business Sentiment Index. • Corporate Payments - The customer base is comprised of businesses operating in multiple industries including large OTAs. With the exception of the eNett and WEX Payments portfolios, which have minimal credit risk due to their respective business models and collection terms, the associated credit losses are sporadic and closely correlate with trends in consumer metrics, including consumer spending and the consumer price index. • Benefits - The customer base includes third-party administrators and individual employers. The associated credit losses are generally low. When accounts receivable exhibit elevated credit risk characteristics as a result of bankruptcies, disputes, conversations with customers, or other significant credit loss events, they are assessed account level credit loss estimates. Assumptions regarding expected credit losses are reviewed each reporting period and may be impacted by actual performance of accounts receivable and changes in any of the factors discussed above. The allowance for accounts receivable also includes reserves for waived finance fees, which are used to maintain customer goodwill and recorded against the late fee revenue recognized, as well as reserves for fraud losses, which are recorded as credit losses. The reserve for fraud losses is determined by monitoring pending fraud cases, customer-identified fraudulent activity, known and suspected fraudulent activity identified by the Company, as well as unconfirmed suspicious activity in order to make judgments as to probable fraud losses. |
Off-Balance-Sheet Arrangements | The Company has various off-balance sheet commitments, including the extension of credit to customers, accounts receivable factoring and accounts receivable securitization, which carry credit risk exposure. |
Investment Securities and Other Investments | Investment securities held by the Company consist primarily of (i) HSA assets managed and invested by WEX Bank, which are reflected within current assets on our consolidated balance sheets and (ii) securities purchased and held by WEX Bank primarily in order to meet the requirements of the Community Reinvestment Act, which are reflected within non-current assets on our consolidated balance sheets. Investment securities consist primarily of available-for-sale debt securities, including U.S. treasury notes and bonds, corporate debt securities and asset or mortgage-backed securities, and equity securities with readily determinable fair values. Available-for-sale debt securities and equity securities with a readily determinable fair value are reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value and are classified as current or long-term based on Management’s determination of whether such securities are available for use in current operations, regardless of the securities’ stated maturity dates. The cost basis of investment securities is based on the specific identification method. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis. Accrued interest on investment securities is recorded within prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, accrued interest on investment securities was $30.9 million and $24.7 million, respectively. Available-for-sale debt securities are considered impaired if the fair value of the investment is less than its amortized cost. If it is more likely than not that the Company will have to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the security is written down to its fair value and the difference is recognized in operating income. If the Company deems it is not likely to sell such security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the Company bifurcates the impairment into credit-related and non-credit-related components. In evaluating whether a credit-related loss exists, the Company considers a variety of factors including: the extent to which the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis; adverse conditions specifically related to the issuer of a security; the failure of the issuer of the security to make scheduled interest or principal payments; and any changes to the rating of the security by a rating agency. A loss on available-for-sale securities attributed to a credit-related component is determined by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security with the amortized cost basis of the security and is recorded within the provision for credit losses on our consolidated statements of operations. To the extent this expected credit loss decreases in future periods, the charge to the provision for credit losses is reversed. The portion of the loss attributed to non-credit-related components is reflected within accumulated other comprehensive loss on the consolidated balance sheets, net of applicable taxes. To the extent this loss decreases in future periods, the Company records a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of applicable taxes. Realized gains and losses on available-for sale debt securities are recorded within other revenue on the consolidated statements of operations. Other Investments From time-to-time the Company makes minority equity or other investments in early-stage companies for which there is no readily determinable fair value and over which we do not exert significant influence. Due to the lack of a readily determinable fair value, these investments are measured at cost less any impairment until a specific remeasurement event occurs. The investments are recorded within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had $11.1 million and $7.5 million, respectively, of such investments. Other investments additionally consist of Federal Home Loan Bank (“FHLB”) stock. Members of the FHLB are required to own a certain amount of membership stock, based on the member’s total assets, and activity stock, based on outstanding borrowings with the FHLB. There is no secondary market for this stock as it is issued and repurchased at par by the FHLB and is generally restricted as to redemption. It is not practicable to determine the fair value of this stock and accordingly, |
Derivatives | From time to time, the Company utilizes derivative instruments as part of its overall strategy, including to reduce the impact of interest rate volatility. In addition, we have a contingent consideration derivative liability associated with our asset acquisition from Bell Bank. The Company’s derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses on interest rate swap derivatives are recognized in financing interest expense, net of financial instruments. The change in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability is recognized separately on the consolidated statement of operations. For the purposes of cash flow presentation, realized gains or losses on interest rate swaps, if any, are included within cash flows from operating activities. Cash payments for contingent consideration are included within cash flows from financing activities, up to the initial liability balance at acquisition. Any contingent consideration paid in excess of the initial liability balance is included within cash flows from operating activities. |
Leases | The Company’s real estate leases are accounted for using a right-of-use model, which recognizes that at the date of commencement, a lessee has a financial obligation to make lease payments to the lessor for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term and recognizes a corresponding right-of-use asset related to this right. Some of our leases include options to extend the term of the lease. When it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option, we include the impact of the option in the lease term for purposes of determining future lease payments. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize assets or liabilities for leases with a term of less than twelve months and to account for all components in a lease arrangement as a single combined lease component. Short-term lease payments are generally recognized on a straight-line basis. Certain of our lease agreements include variable rent payments, consisting primarily of rental payments adjusted periodically for inflation and amounts paid to the lessor based on cost or consumption, such as maintenance and utilities. These costs are recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred. As the Company’s leases do not specify an implicit rate, the Company uses an incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. |
Property, Equipment and Capitalized Software | Property, equipment and capitalized software are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Replacements, renewals and improvements are capitalized and costs for repair and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Leasehold improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the useful life of the improvement. Depreciation and amortization for all other property, equipment and capitalized software is primarily computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives shown below as of December 31, 2024. Estimated Useful Lives Furniture, fixtures and equipment 3 to 5 years Computer software, including internal use computer software 3 years |
Acquisitions | For acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination, the Company applies the acquisition method of accounting where assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at fair value at the date of each acquisition. Any excess of the consideration transferred by the Company over the amounts recognized for assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The Company continues to evaluate acquisitions for a period not to exceed one year after the acquisition date of each transaction to determine whether any additional adjustments are needed to the allocation of the purchase price. The acquiree’s results of operations are included in consolidated results of the Company from the date of the respective acquisition. All other acquisitions are accounted for as asset acquisitions and the purchase price is allocated to the net assets acquired with no recognition of goodwill. Following the acquisition date, the purchase price of asset acquisitions is not subsequently adjusted. |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill is assigned to reporting units, which is at, or one level below, the Company’s operating segments. Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment at least annually on October 1 at the reporting unit level, or more frequently if facts or circumstances indicate that the goodwill might be impaired. We may first perform a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting unit's carrying amount exceeds its fair value. The election of whether or not to perform a qualitative assessment is made annually and may vary by reporting unit. If we elect to bypass the qualitative assessment, or if we determine that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying amount, a quantitative test would be required. Such impairment tests include comparing the fair value of the respective reporting units with their carrying values, including goodwill. The Company uses both discounted cash flow analyses and comparable company pricing multiples to determine the fair value of its reporting units. Such analyses are corroborated using market analytics. Certain assumptions are used in determining the fair value, including assumptions about future cash flows and terminal values. The Company considers the assumptions that it believes hypothetical marketplace participants would use in estimating future cash flows. In addition, an appropriate discount rate is used, based on the Company’s cost of capital or reporting unit-specific economic factors. When the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value, a goodwill impairment charge is recorded equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value, limited to the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. See Note 9, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, for further information regarding the outcome of the Company’s goodwill impairment tests during 2024, 2023 and 2022. Intangible assets that are deemed to have definite lives are generally amortized using a method reflective of the pattern in which the economic benefits of the assets are expected to be consumed. If that pattern cannot be reliably determined, the assets are amortized using a straight-line method over their useful lives, which is the period of time that the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The Company determines the useful lives of its identifiable intangible assets after considering the specific facts and circumstances related to each intangible asset. The factors that management considers when determining useful lives include the contractual term of agreements, the history of the asset, the Company’s long-term strategy for the use of the asset, any laws or other local regulations which could impact the useful life of the asset and other economic factors, including competition and specific market conditions. The Company performs an evaluation of the remaining useful lives of the definite-lived intangible assets periodically to determine if any change is warranted. |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets | The Company’s long-lived assets primarily include property, equipment, capitalized software, right-of-use assets and intangible assets. The carrying values of long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such conditions may include a reduction in operating cash flow or a significant adverse change in the manner in which, or term over which, the asset is intended to be used, including when a decision has been made to exit a lease prior to the contractual term or to sublease leased space. |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt issuance costs incurred and capitalized are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the respective debt arrangements using the effective interest method. |
Financial Instruments – Fair Value | The Company generally holds mortgage-backed securities, U.S. treasury notes, corporate debt securities, mutual funds, money market funds, derivatives (see Note 12, Derivative Instruments) and certain other financial instruments that are carried at fair value. The Company determines fair value based upon quoted prices when available or through the use of alternative approaches, such as model pricing, when market quotes are not readily accessible or available. Various factors are considered in determining the fair value of the Company’s financial instruments, including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; benchmark interest rates; time value and volatility factors underlying options and derivatives; price activity for equivalent instruments; and the Company’s own-credit standing. These valuation techniques may be based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy: • Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. • Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable. • Level 3 – Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular |
Financial Instruments – Concentrations of Credit Risk | The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are transacted and maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing. Cash balances at many of these institutions regularly exceed FDIC insured limits; however, management regularly monitors the financial institutions and the composition of the Company’s accounts. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the financial institutions at which the Company’s cash is held are stable. We attempt to limit our exposure to credit risk with our investment securities by establishing strict investment policies as to minimum investment ratings, diversification of our portfolio and setting risk tolerance levels. |
Revenue Recognition | The Company accounts for the majority of its revenue under Topic 606 or ASC 310, Receivables (“ASC 310”). See Note 3, Revenue, for a description of the major components of revenue. Under Topic 606, the Company generally records revenue net, equal to consideration retained, based upon its conclusion that the Company is the agent in its principal versus agent relationships. When making this determination, the Company evaluated the nature of its promise to the customer and determined that it does not control a promised good or service before transferring that good or service to the customer, but rather arranges for another entity to provide the goods or services. The vast majority of the Company’s Topic 606 revenue is derived from stand-ready obligations to provide payment processing, transaction processing and SaaS services and support. As such, we view these services as comprising a series of distinct days of service that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer. Accordingly, the promise to stand ready is accounted for as a single-series performance obligation. The transaction-based fees are generally calculated based on measures such as (i) percentage of dollar value of volume processed; (ii) number of transactions processed; or (iii) some combination thereof. The Company has entered into agreements with major oil companies, fuel retailers, vehicle maintenance providers, OTAs and health partners, which provide services and limited products to the Company’s customers. These agreements specify that a transaction is deemed to be captured when the Company has validated that the transaction has no errors and has accepted and posted the data to the Company’s records. Revenue is recognized based on the value of services transferred to date using a time elapsed output method. The Company enters into contracts with certain large customers or partners that provide for fee rebates tied to performance milestones. Such rebates and incentives are calculated based on estimated performance and the terms of the related business agreements and are typically recorded within revenue. Amounts paid to certain partners in our Mobility and Corporate Payments segments are recorded within sales and marketing expense on our consolidated statements of operations. Under ASC 310, we record revenue on overdue accounts and certain other fees assessed to cardholders as part of the lending relationship, net of a provision for estimated uncollectible amounts, at the time the charges are assessed. |
Transfers of Financial Assets | In accordance with ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing , the Company applies sale accounting for arrangements to sell accounts receivable if the financial assets are isolated from the Company’s creditors, the transferee has the right to pledge or exchange the transferred financial assets and the Company does not maintain effective control of the transferred assets. Upon satisfaction of the above criteria, the transfers are treated as a sale and are accounted for as a reduction in trade accounts receivable within our consolidated balance sheets. |
Stock-Based Compensation | The Company recognizes the fair value of all stock-based payments to employees and directors in its consolidated financial statements. The fair value of DSUs, RSUs, and PBRSUs without a market condition are determined and fixed on the grant date based on the closing price of the Company’s stock as reported by the NYSE. The Company estimates the grant date fair value of service-based stock option awards using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model and awards granted with market conditions (including MSUs, market performance-based stock option awards, TSR performance awards, and PBRSUs with a TSR performance condition) using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded net of estimated forfeitures over each award’s requisite service period. The Company uses the straight-line methodology for recognizing the expense associated with service-based stock options and RSU grants and a graded-vesting methodology for the expense recognition of MSUs, market performance-based stock options and PBRSUs. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising and marketing costs are expensed in the period incurred. |
Income Taxes | Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which the associated temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is established for those jurisdictions in which the realization of deferred tax assets is not deemed to be more likely than not. The Company has elected to treat the GILTI tax as a current period expense in the year incurred. Accounting guidance prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This accounting guidance also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in the interim periods, disclosure, and transition. Penalties and interest related to uncertain tax positions are recognized as a component of income tax expense. To the extent penalties and interest are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued are reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision. |
Earnings per Share | Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and vested DSUs outstanding during the year. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to the computation of basic earnings per share, except that diluted earnings per share includes the impact of convertible securities under the “if-converted” method if the effect of such securities would be dilutive and includes the assumed exercise of dilutive options, the assumed issuance of unvested RSUs, performance-based awards for which the performance condition has been met as of the date of determination, and contingently issuable shares that would be issuable if the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period, using the treasury stock method unless the effect is anti-dilutive. The treasury stock method assumes that proceeds, including cash received from the exercise of employee stock options and the average unrecognized compensation expense for unvested share-based compensation awards, would be used to purchase the Company’s common stock at the average market price during the period. |
Foreign Currency Movement | The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, where the local currency is the functional currency, are translated to U.S. dollars using year-end spot exchange rates for assets and liabilities, average exchange rates for revenue and expenses and historical exchange rates for equity transactions. The resulting foreign currency translation adjustment is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions as well as the remeasurement of the Company’s cash, receivable and payable balances that are denominated in foreign currencies, are recorded directly in net foreign currency gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. However, gains or losses resulting from intercompany foreign currency balances that are of a long-term investment nature are not recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. In these situations, the gains or losses are deferred and included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss | Accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”) consists of unrealized gains and losses on debt securities and foreign currency translation adjustments pertaining to the net investment in foreign operations. The Company has a full valuation allowance recorded against its deferred tax assets on unrealized losses on debt securities included within AOCL. In addition, unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments within AOCL are substantially considered indefinitely reinvested outside the United States. Accordingly, there were no material deferred taxes recorded on such unrealized losses on debt securities and foreign currency translation adjustments for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | The Company evaluates all ASUs recently issued by the FASB for consideration of their applicability. The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements and their impact, or anticipated impact on our financial statements. Any recently issued ASUs not listed in the following table were assessed and determined to either not be applicable, or have not had, or are not expected to have, a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
