Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Consolidated net revenues increased 21.5% year-over-year (Q2) and 23.3% (YTD). Growth was driven by 10% organic growth, 7% from acquisitions (notably Alpha Group International), and favorable macroeconomic factors (foreign exchange, fuel prices).
• Profitability: Net income attributable to Corpay decreased 12.6% in Q2 to $248.3 million, primarily due to a $100 million charge related to the FTC legal settlement. However, YTD net income increased 13.5% to $598.4 million, aided by a $122.5 million gain on the disposition of the PayByPhone business.
• Segment Performance:
  • Corporate Payments: Revenue up 41.7% (Q2) driven by spend volume growth and the Alpha acquisition.
  • Vehicle Payments: Revenue up 13.3% (Q2), but operating income dropped 21.4% due to the $100 million FTC charge and the impact of the PayByPhone disposition.
  • Lodging Payments: Revenue up 2.8% (Q2) with stable operating income.
• Debt Structure: In May 2026, the company amended its Credit Agreement, increasing the revolving facility to $3.7 billion and Term Loan A to $3.3 billion. Total debt increased to $10.6 billion.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Legal Contingency (FTC): The company recorded a $100 million charge in Q2 2026 related to a proposed consent order with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) regarding advertising practices. The order is subject to approval; if terms change, additional costs may be incurred.
• Dispositions:
  • PayByPhone: Sold in March 2026 for net proceeds of $421.7 million, resulting in a $122.9 million pre-tax gain.
  • Maintenance Business: Agreed to sell in June 2026 for approx. $800 million. Expected to close later in 2026. Anticipated pre-tax gain is between $460 million and $515 million.
• Acquisitions: Completed the acquisition of Alpha Group International ($2.4 billion) in late 2025. Formed a partnership with TPG to acquire AvidXchange (35% stake, $578 million investment) in late 2025.
• Stock Repurchases: The Board increased the repurchase authorization to $11.1 billion in April 2026. The company repurchased 3.4 million shares for $1.1 billion in the first six months of 2026. Approximately $1.4 billion remains available.
• Risks: Key risks include macroeconomic volatility (fuel prices, FX rates), regulatory compliance (FTC matter), credit risk, and the successful integration of recent acquisitions.

Investor Verification Checklist

• FTC Settlement Finality: Verify the final approval of the FTC consent order and confirm if the $100 million charge is the final liability or if additional redress is possible.
• Maintenance Disposition Closing: Monitor the regulatory approval status (U.K. and Australia) for the Maintenance business sale to confirm the timing and final gain realization.
• Alpha Integration: Assess the integration progress and revenue contribution of the Alpha Group International acquisition in the Corporate Payments segment.
• Debt Covenants: Confirm continued compliance with financial covenants under the amended Credit Agreement and Securitization Facility.
• Organic Growth Sustainability: Evaluate the sustainability of the reported 10% organic revenue growth amidst potential macroeconomic headwinds in fuel prices and foreign exchange rates.
