WORLD KINECT CORPORATION NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies
General
World Kinect Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in Florida in July 1984 and along with its consolidated subsidiaries is referred to collectively in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("10-Q Report") as "World Kinect," "we," "our" and "us."
We are a global energy management company offering fulfillment and related services across the aviation, marine, and land-based transportation sectors. We also supply natural gas and power in the United States and Europe along with a growing suite of other sustainability-related products and services.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes include our parent company and all subsidiaries where we exercise control, and include the operations of acquired businesses after the completion of their acquisition. The decision of whether or not to consolidate an entity requires consideration of majority voting interests, as well as effective economic or other control over the entity. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP"), the instructions to Form 10-Q, and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there has been no material change in the information disclosed in the Notes included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K ("2023 10-K Report"). All intercompany transactions among our businesses have been eliminated.
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be representative of those for the full year. In our opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial statements, which are of a normal and recurring nature, have been made for the interim periods reported. The information included in this 10-Q Report should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in our 2023 10-K Report.
Certain prior period amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Due to rounding, certain amounts may not add; however, all percentages have been calculated using unrounded amounts.
New Accounting Standards
Accounting Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted
Segment Reporting. ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, was issued in November 2023. ASU 2023-07 amends the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting to require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items on an interim and annual basis. The amendment also requires disclosure of the chief operating decision maker's ("CODM") title and position on an annual basis, as well as an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s). Additionally, the amended guidance permits companies to disclose more than one measure of segment profit or loss used by the CODM provided that at least one of the reported measures includes the segment profit or loss measure that is most consistent with GAAP measurement principles. The amendment also requires all disclosures about a reportable segment’s assets and profit or loss, currently required only in annual periods, in all interim periods. The ASU does not change how a public entity identifies or aggregates its operating segments or how quantitative thresholds are applied to determine an entities' reportable segments. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented in the financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to identify potential impacts to the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and processes.
Income Taxes. ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, was issued in December 2023. ASU 2023-09 amends the guidance in ASC 740, Income Taxes, to improve the transparency of income tax disclosures by amending the required rate reconciliation disclosures as well as requiring disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. As amended, the rate reconciliation disclosure will be required to be presented in both percentages and reporting currency amounts, with consistent categories and greater disaggregation of information. The ASU also includes amendments intended to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures and eliminate certain existing disclosure requirements related to uncertain tax positions and unrecognized deferred tax liabilities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and should be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the amendments to identify potential impacts to the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and processes.
There are no other recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted by us that are expected, upon adoption, to have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements or processes.
Recent Securities and Exchange Commission Final Rules Issued but Not Yet Effective
Climate-Related Disclosures. In March 2024, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") adopted final rules requiring registrants to provide certain climate-related information in their registration statements and annual reports. As part of the disclosures, registrants will be required to quantify certain effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions in a note to their audited financial statements. The rules also require registrants to disclose outside the financial statements information regarding governance and oversight of material climate-related risks, the material impacts of climate risks on the strategy, business model and outlook, risk management processes and material scope 1 and scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions and any material climate-related targets and goals when the registrant has made a target or goal that has materially affected or is reasonable likely to materially affect its business, results of operations, or financial condition. The rules are generally scheduled to be effective for annual reporting periods beginning in 2025. In April 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review. The Company is currently evaluating these final rules to identify potential impacts to the Company's Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and processes.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes in the Company's accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2023 10-K Report. The significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are disclosed in Note 1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards, and Significant Accounting Policies of the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 10-K Report.
2. Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Credit Losses
When we extend credit on an unsecured basis, our exposure to credit losses depends on the financial condition of our customers and macroeconomic factors beyond our control, such as global economic conditions or adverse impacts in the industries we serve, changes in oil prices and political instability.
We actively monitor and manage our credit exposure and work to respond to both changes in our customers' financial conditions and macroeconomic events. Based on the ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, we adjust credit limits based upon payment history and our customers' current creditworthiness. However, because we extend credit on an unsecured basis to most of our customers, there is a possibility that any accounts receivable not collected may ultimately need to be written off.
We had accounts receivable, net, of $2.7 billion and $2.7 billion and an allowance for expected credit losses, primarily related to accounts receivable, of $21.7 million and $20.8 million, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Changes to the expected credit loss provision during the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from the Company's assessment of reasonable and supportable forward-looking information, including global economic outlook considerations. Based on an aging analysis as of March 31, 2024, 93% of our accounts receivable were outstanding less than 60 days.
The following table sets forth activities in our allowance for expected credit losses (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Balance as of January 1, | $ | 20.8 | | | $ | 17.3 | |
Charges to allowance for credit losses | 3.0 | | | 0.3 | |
Write-off of uncollectible receivables | (2.4) | | | (1.1) | |
Recoveries of credit losses | 0.2 | | | 0.1 | |
Translation adjustments | 0.1 | | | — | |
Balance as of March 31, | $ | 21.7 | | | $ | 16.6 | |
Receivable Purchase Agreements
We have receivable purchase agreements ("RPAs") that allow for the sale of our qualifying accounts receivable in exchange for cash consideration equal to the total balance, less a discount margin, depending on the outstanding accounts receivable at any given time. Accounts receivable sold under the RPAs are accounted for as sales and excluded from Accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fees paid under the RPAs are recorded within Interest expense and other financing costs, net on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we sold receivables under the RPAs with an aggregate face value of $3.0 billion and $3.0 billion and recognized fees of $10.2 million and $11.7 million, respectively.
3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
2024 Acquisitions and Divestitures
There were no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
In March 2024, we executed a definitive agreement to sell the Avinode Group and our portfolio of aviation fixed-based operator software products ("the disposal group") for cash proceeds of approximately $200 million, subject to working capital adjustments. Avinode Group is the world's leading air charter sourcing platform. Closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected to be completed during the second quarter. The sale is expected to result in a gain, after the reclassification of the cumulative translation adjustment to net income, that will be recognized upon closing of the transaction.
Prior to the sale, the disposal group was reported within the aviation segment. The sale did not meet the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation, however the assets and liabilities within the disposal group met the criteria to be classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2024 and have been reclassified to Other current assets and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities, respectively, within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The following table summarizes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |

5. Derivative Instruments
We are exposed to a variety of risks including but not limited to, changes in the prices of commodities that we buy or sell, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in interest rates, and the creditworthiness of each of our counterparties. While we attempt to mitigate these fluctuations through hedging, such hedges may not be fully effective.
Our risk management program includes the following types of derivative instruments:
Fair Value Hedges. Derivative contracts we hold to hedge the risk of changes in the price of our inventory.
Cash Flow Hedges. Derivative contracts we execute to mitigate the risk of price and interest rate volatility in forecasted transactions.
Non-designated Derivatives. Derivatives we primarily transact to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in swaps or futures contracts, as well as certain forward fixed price purchase and sale contracts to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations and for portfolio optimization.
The following table summarizes the gross notional values of our derivative contracts used for risk management purposes (in millions):

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
We enter into derivative contracts which may require us to post collateral periodically. Certain of these derivative contracts contain credit-risk-related contingent clauses which are triggered by credit events, such as a credit downgrade or if certain defined financial ratios fall below an established threshold. The occurrence of these credit events may require us to post additional collateral or immediately settle the derivative instrument.

6. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, net accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on their short-term maturities. With the exception of the Convertible Notes issued in June 2023, as discussed in Note 7. Debt, Interest Income, Expense, and Other Finance Costs, the carrying values of our debt and notes receivable approximate fair value as these instruments bear interest either at variable rates or fixed rates, which are not significantly different from market rates. The fair value measurements for our debt and notes receivable are considered to be Level 2 measurements based on the fair value hierarchy.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables present information about our gross assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions):

For our derivative contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset a counterparty's rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary, or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net the fair value of cash collateral paid or received against fair value amounts recognized for net derivative positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.
We have elected to offset the recognized fair value amounts for multiple derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty in our financial statements when a legal right of offset exists. The following tables summarize those derivative balances subject to the right of offset as presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions):

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we did not present any amounts gross on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets where we had the right of offset.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our individual over-the-counter ("OTC") counterparty exposure is managed within predetermined credit limits and includes the use of cash-call margins when appropriate, thereby reducing the risk of significant nonperformance. At March 31, 2024, two of our counterparties with a total exposure of $128.9 million represented over 10% of our credit exposure to OTC derivative counterparties, for which we held cash collateral of $71.3 million.
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of nonrecurring assets or liabilities measured using Level 3 inputs were not material as of March 31, 2024.

(1)The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement matures in April 2027 and provides for a term loan as well as a revolving credit facility of up to $1.5 billion (the "Credit Facility").
(2)The Convertible Notes were issued in June 2023 and mature on July 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. As of March 31, 2024 the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes includes the aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, net of unamortized debt issuance costs. As of March 31, 2024, the fair value of the Convertible Notes is estimated to be approximately $385.5 million using the Level 2 observable input of quoted market prices in an inactive market.
(3)Includes secured borrowings for the transfer of tax receivables of $52.4 million (EUR 48.5 million) and $53.6 million (EUR 48.5 million) as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Interest Income, Expense, and Other Financing Costs

Interest expense and other financing costs, net | | $ | (28.9) | | | $ | (34.3) | | | | | |
8. Supplier Financing Programs
Under various supplier finance programs, we agree to pay counterparties engaged as paying agents the stated amount of confirmed invoices from our designated suppliers on the original maturity date of the invoices. Under certain of these arrangements, we may also pay fees for the supplier finance platform and related support.
Outstanding obligations confirmed under our supplier finance programs were $213.1 million and $198.8 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in Accounts payable within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
9. Commitments and Contingencies
On November 23, 2023, one of our subsidiaries submitted an erroneous bid in the Finnish power market. During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recognized related extraordinary losses totaling $48.8 million, which are principally reported within Cost of revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. In December 2023, the subsidiary received a request for information from Energiavirasto, the Finnish energy regulatory authority ("EA") indicating that EA had initiated an investigation in relation to the events surrounding the erroneous bid submission. We have since received requests for additional information following our responses to EA's initial requests. We expect to respond to such requests and continue to cooperate with the investigation. At this time, we are unable to predict the outcome of this investigation, including whether the investigation will result in any action, proceeding or fine against us.
We are also a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, personal injury, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and tax and administrative claims.
From time to time, we are also under review by various domestic and foreign tax authorities regarding indirect tax matters and are involved in various challenges and litigation in a number of countries, including, in particular, South Korea and Brazil, where the amounts in controversy may be material. During 2016 and 2017, the South Korean branch of one of our subsidiaries received assessments totaling approximately $25.5 million (KRW 34.3 billion) from the regional tax authorities of Seoul, South Korea. The assessments primarily consist of fines and penalties for allegedly failing to issue Value Added Tax ("VAT") invoices and report certain transactions during the period 2011-2014. These assessments do not involve failure to pay or collect VAT. We believe we have substantial defenses to these assessments and expect to continue to pursue available administrative and judicial remedies to resolve this matter.
We are also involved in several tax disputes with federal, state and municipal tax authorities in Brazil, relating primarily to a VAT tax known as ICMS. These disputes are at various stages of the legal process, including the administrative review phase and the collection action phase, and include assessments of fixed amounts of principal and penalties, plus interest. One of our Brazilian subsidiaries is currently contesting an assessment from the Brazilian tax authorities relating to the ICMS rate used for certain transactions (consisting of tax, interest and penalties) that now stands at approximately $6.4 million (BRL 32.0 million). In November 2023, the deadline passed for the Brazilian tax authorities to appeal a previous judgment reducing the interest rate applicable to the assessment. In April 2024, the Sao Paulo Court of Justice published a decision on a motion previously filed in the case, which reduced the penalty by limiting it to the total tax due and eliminated any interest that would have been due on the excess penalty. We intend to pursue available administrative and judicial remedies necessary to resolve this matter.
We have established loss provisions for claims and other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of March 31, 2024, our reserves for such claims were not material. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures for that period.
Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.
When we deem it appropriate and the amounts are reasonably estimable, we establish reserves for potential adjustments to our provision for the accrual of indirect taxes that may result from examinations or other actions by tax authorities. If events occur which indicate payment of these amounts is unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities will result in the recognition of benefits in the period we determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If our estimates of any of our federal, state, and foreign indirect tax liabilities are less than the ultimate assessment, it could result in a further charge to expense. Except with respect to the matters described above, we believe that the final outcome of any pending examinations, agreements, administrative or judicial proceedings will not have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows.
10. Shareholders' Equity
Cash Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.17 per common share representing first quarter dividends of $10.1 million, which were paid on April 16, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Board declared quarterly cash dividends of $0.14 per common share representing first quarter dividends of $8.6 million, which were paid on April 21, 2023.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Our Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of foreign currency translation adjustments related to our subsidiaries that have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar and unrealized gains (losses) from derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges. The after-tax changes in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component were as follows (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

11. Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Disaggregated revenue
The following table presents our revenues from contracts with customers disaggregated by major geographic areas in which we conduct business (in millions):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | |
Aviation | | $ | 298.1 | | | $ | 272.3 | | | | | |
Land | | 63.2 | | | 4.3 | | | | | |
Marine | | 1,083.8 | | | 1,110.3 | | | | | |
Asia Pacific | | 1,445.1 | | | 1,386.9 | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | | |
Total revenue | | $ | 10,951.4 | | | $ | 12,481.6 | | | | | |
(1) Includes revenue from derivatives, leases, and other transactions that we account for under separate guidance.
Accounts receivable, contract assets and contract liabilities
The nature of the receivables related to revenue from contracts with customers and other revenues (excluded from ASC 606) are substantially similar, as they are both generated from transactions with the same type of counterparties (e.g., separate fuel sales and storage lease with the same counterparty) and are entered into utilizing the same credit approval and monitoring procedures for all customers. As such, we believe the risk associated with the cash flows from the different types of receivables is not meaningful to separately disaggregate the accounts receivable balance presented on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the contract assets and contract liabilities recognized by the Company were not material.
12. Income Taxes
Our income tax provision and the respective effective income tax rates are as follows (in millions, except for income tax rates):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | | | |
Provision for income taxes | | $ | 3.3 | | | $ | 4.2 | | | | | |
Effective income tax rate | | 11.0 | % | | 15.6 | % | | | | |
Our provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 includes a net discrete income tax benefit of $5.1 million, of which a tax benefit of $2.5 million relates to return-to-provision adjustments and a net tax benefit of $2.4 million relates to changes in our uncertain tax positions.
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the provision included a net discrete income tax benefit of $3.8 million, of which $3.1 million related to the reversal of a valuation allowance previously recorded against a U.S. state's deferred tax assets and a net tax benefit of $0.7 million related to other worldwide adjustments, including changes resulting from tax return filings.
Our income tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 were calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rates for the 2024 and 2023 years, respectively. The actual effective income tax rate for the 2024 year may be materially different for several reasons including differences between estimated versus actual results and the geographic tax jurisdictions in which the results are earned.
On October 4, 2021, 136 members of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development ("OECD") agreed to a global minimum tax rate of 15%. On December 20, 2021, OECD published its model rules on the agreed minimum tax known as the Global Anti-Base Erosion ("GloBE") rules. The GloBE rules provide a framework for a coordinated multi-country system of taxation intended to ensure large multinational enterprise groups pay a minimum level of tax on the income arising in each of the jurisdictions where they operate. On December 14, 2022, the European Council approved its directive to implement Pillar Two of the GloBE rules regarding a 15% global minimum tax rate. Many EU countries have already indicated they plan to enact certain provisions of this directive as of January 1, 2024. In addition, many G20 nations have indicated their plan to follow the OECD guidance as early as January 1, 2024. Pillar Two legislation has been enacted or substantively enacted in certain jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The legislation is effective for the Company’s financial year beginning January 1, 2024.
The Company has completed its assessment and identified potential exposure to Pillar Two income taxes on profits earned in jurisdictions where the effective tax rate is lower than 15%. The estimated Pillar Two taxes do not have a material impact on the estimated annual effective tax rate for 2024 or the income tax provision for the quarter.
We have various tax returns under examination both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The most material of these is in Denmark for the 2013 - 2019 tax years, where one of our subsidiaries has been under audit since 2018. Through March 31, 2024, we have received final tax assessments for the 2013 and 2014 tax years that were immaterial, a proposed tax assessment for the 2015 tax year of approximately $13.9 million (DKK 96.1 million), and proposed tax assessments for the 2016 and 2017 tax years of approximately $19.4 million (DKK 133.8 million) and $22.5 million (DKK 155.5 million), respectively. On April 24, 2024, we received proposed tax assessments for the 2018 and 2019 tax years of approximately $21.7 million (DKK 149.7 million) and $30.6 million (DKK 211.2 million), respectively. We believe we have substantial defenses to these assessments and expect to continue to pursue available administrative and judicial remedies to resolve this matter.
An unfavorable resolution of one or more of the above matters could have a material adverse effect on our operating results or cash flows in the quarter or year in which the adjustments are recorded, or the tax is due or paid. As examinations are still in process or have not yet reached the final stages of the appeals process, the timing of the ultimate resolution or payments that may be required cannot be determined at this time.
13. Business Segments
We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land and marine. Our operating segments are determined based on the different markets in which we provide products and services, which are defined primarily by the customers (businesses and governmental) and the products and services provided to those customers. We use Income from operations as our primary measure of profit as we believe it is the most meaningful measure to allocate resources and assess the performance of our segments. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity.

15. Restructuring
2023 Restructuring Plan
In November 2023, we approved and began implementing a restructuring plan to realign our operational focus with the purpose of simplifying our business, enabling us to focus more clearly on growing our core businesses and our new sustainability-related activities, and improving our cost structure. As part of this plan, we identified open positions that were eliminated and other positions that were closed to better align the workforce necessary to execute the revised strategy. We recognized restructuring charges of $7.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2023, composed of severance and other compensation costs. We also decided to shift future investments away from underperforming businesses and to continue assessing our global office footprint, resulting in impairment charges of $11.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, we continued to assess potential initiatives, resulting in additional restructuring charges of $0.2 million, with the intent of completing the restructuring activities during the second quarter of 2024.
The following table provides a summary of our 2023 Restructuring Program activities (in millions):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2023 10-K Report and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes in Item 1 – Financial Statements of this 10-Q Report. A reference to a "Note" herein refers to the accompanying Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Item 1 – Financial Statements. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ materially from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ are disclosed in Item 1A – Risk Factors of our 2023 10-K Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This 10-Q Report and the information incorporated by reference in it, or made by us in other reports, filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), press releases, teleconferences, industry conferences or otherwise, contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "estimate," "project," "could," "would," "will," "will be," "will continue," "plan," or words or phrases of similar meaning. Specifically, this 10-Q Report includes forward-looking statements regarding (i) expectations regarding inflation and its impact on us, (ii) the conditions in the aviation, land, and marine markets and their impact on our business, (iii) our growth strategies, including the position of our land segment to gain market share, (iv) the impact of fuel prices and our working capital, liquidity, and capital expenditure requirements, (v) our expectations and estimates regarding tax, legal and accounting matters, including the impact on our financial statements, (vi) our hedging strategy, (vii) estimates regarding the financial impact of our derivative and other trading contracts and (viii) estimated savings arising out of various cost reduction efforts. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained in our SEC filings.
These forward-looking statements are estimates and projections reflecting our best judgment and involve risks, uncertainties or other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect. Our actual results may differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
•customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts;
•changes in the market prices of energy or commodities or extremely high or low fuel prices that continue for an extended period of time;
•adverse conditions in the industries in which our customers operate;
•our inability to effectively mitigate certain financial risks and other risks associated with derivatives and our physical fuel products;
•our ability to achieve the expected level of benefit from our restructuring activities and cost reduction initiatives;
•relationships with our employees and potential labor disputes associated with employees covered by collective bargaining agreements;
•our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants governing our outstanding indebtedness;
•the impact of cyber and other information security related incidents;
•changes in the political, economic or regulatory environment generally and in the markets in which we operate, such as the current conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East;
•greenhouse gas reduction programs and other environmental and climate change legislation adopted by governments around the world, including cap and trade regimes, carbon taxes, increased efficiency standards and mandates for renewable energy, each of which could increase our operating and compliance costs as well as adversely impact our sales of fuel products;
•changes in credit terms extended to us from our suppliers;
•non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments;
•non-performance of third-party service providers;
•our ability to effectively integrate and derive benefits from acquired businesses;
•our ability to meet financial forecasts associated with our operating plan;
•lower than expected cash flows and revenues, which could impair our ability to realize the value of recorded intangible assets and goodwill;
•the availability of cash and sufficient liquidity to fund our working capital and strategic investment needs;
•currency exchange fluctuations;
•inflationary pressures and their impact on our customers or the global economy, including sudden or significant increases in interest rates or a global recession;
•our ability to effectively leverage technology and operating systems and realize the anticipated benefits;
•failure to meet fuel and other product specifications agreed with our customers;
•environmental and other risks associated with the storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products;
•reputational harm from adverse publicity arising out of spills, environmental contamination or public perception about the impacts on climate change by us or other companies in our industry;
•risks associated with operating in high-risk locations, including supply disruptions, border closures and other logistical difficulties that arise when working in these areas;
•uninsured or underinsured losses;
•seasonal variability that adversely affects our revenues and operating results, as well as the impact of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes and wildfires;
•declines in the value and liquidity of cash equivalents and investments;
•our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;
•changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws, interpretations of such laws, changes in the mix of taxable income among different tax jurisdictions, or adverse results of tax audits, assessments, or disputes;
•our failure to generate sufficient future taxable income in jurisdictions with material deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards;
•changes in multilateral conventions, treaties, tariffs or other arrangements between or among sovereign nations, including the U.K.'s exit from the E.U.;
•our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations, including those related to anti-corruption, economic sanction programs and environmental matters;
•the outcome of litigation, regulatory investigations and other legal matters, including the associated legal and other costs; and
•other risks, including those described in Item 1A – Risk Factors in our 2023 10-K Report, together with those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise. Any public statements or disclosures by us following this report that modify or impact any of the forward-looking statements contained in or accompanying this 10-Q Report will be deemed to modify or supersede such forward-looking statements.
For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act, as amended (the "Exchange Act").
Business Overview
We are a global energy management company offering fulfillment and related services across the aviation, marine, and land-based transportation sectors. We also supply natural gas and power in the United States and Europe along with a growing suite of other sustainability-related products and services. We are principally engaged in the distribution of fuel and related products and services in the aviation, land, and marine transportation industries.
2023 Restructuring Plan
In November 2023, we approved and began implementing a restructuring plan to realign our operational focus with the purpose of simplifying our business, enabling us to focus more clearly on growing our core businesses and our new sustainability-related activities, and improving our cost structure. As part of this plan, we identified open positions that were eliminated and other positions that were closed to better align the workforce necessary to execute the revised strategy. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized restructuring charges of $7.2 million, composed of severance and other compensation costs. We estimate that the plan could result in approximately $15.6 million in annualized savings related to compensation. We also decided to shift future investments away from underperforming businesses and to continue assessing our global office footprint, resulting in impairment charges of $11.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2023.
During the first quarter of 2024, we continued to assess potential initiatives, resulting in additional restructuring charges of $0.2 million, with the intent of completing the restructuring activities during the second quarter of 2024. See Note 15. Restructuring for additional information.
Reportable Segments
We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land, and marine. For additional discussion on our reportable segments, see "Reportable Segments" under Part I, Item 1 – Business in our 2023 10-K Report. Selected financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 13. Business Segments.
Aviation Segment
Our aviation segment has benefited from growth in our fuel and related service offerings, as well as our enhanced logistics capabilities and the geographic expansion of our aviation fueling operations into additional international airport locations. During 2023, we successfully achieved higher returns in a high interest rate environment, driven in part by targeted improvements in working capital management consistent with our strategy to rationalize lower-return business activity. As part of our business strategy, we hold inventory in order to meet the needs of our customers. While we generally enter into financial derivative contracts to mitigate price risk exposure associated with our inventory, market pricing dynamics may still negatively impact our results.
In connection with our efforts to sharpen our portfolio of businesses and accelerate growth in our core businesses, we have executed a definitive agreement to sell the Avinode Group and our portfolio of aviation FBO software products. See Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.
Land Segment
We believe our land segment is well-positioned to continue growing market share organically, in part by improving asset utilization, leveraging the capabilities of our acquisitions, and realigning our operational platform as discussed under "2023 Restructuring Plan" above.
Although 2023 was adversely affected by extraordinary losses associated with an erroneous bid submitted in the Finnish power market, we achieved an increase in profitability from both our natural gas business and our sustainability-related service offerings, driven in part by strong growth in our renewable energy solutions business.
We continue to focus on supporting the energy transition by expanding our sustainability offerings, including renewable fuel products, as well as carbon management and renewable energy solutions. We are continuing to invest in talent in this area, which we believe will help accelerate growth in these activities.
Marine Segment
Due to the generally spot nature of sales in our marine business, we have traditionally benefited from elevated fuel prices and volatility, supply uncertainty, and a constrained credit environment. We have spent a considerable amount of time reorganizing our business to drive internal efficiencies so that we can generate relatively moderate levels of earnings in stable markets and yet remain poised to provide additional value in volatile and credit constrained markets.
Macroeconomic Environment
Inflation in the United States and other jurisdictions in which we do business increased significantly beginning in late 2021 into 2022, driven in part by supply chain disruptions, labor shortages and increased commodity prices, which generally resulted in higher costs in 2022 and 2023. Inflation, however, is decelerating and we expect will continue to do so gradually in 2024 without a major downturn in activity.
However, to the extent that a rising cost environment impacts our results, there are typically offsetting benefits either inherent in certain parts of our business or that may result from proactive measures we take to reduce the impact of inflation on our net operating results. These benefits can include higher commodity prices that typically result in a constrained credit environment, often creating favorable market conditions that increase demand for our services, as well as our ability to renegotiate prices due to many of our sales contracts being 12 months or less in duration. Additionally, we take measures to mitigate the impact of increases in fuel prices through comprehensive hedging programs and the use of financial derivative contracts.
For these reasons, the increased cost environment, caused in part by inflation, has not had a material impact on our historical results of operations for the periods presented in this report. However, a significant or prolonged period of high inflation, particularly when combined with rising interest rates due to actions taken by governments to attempt to control inflation, could adversely impact our results if costs, including employee compensation driven by competitive job market conditions, were to increase at a rate greater than the increase in the revenues we generate. Higher interest rates also typically increase the interest expense associated with our credit arrangements with banks and other parties that serve as important sources of liquidity for us, which can therefore negatively impact our results of operations for a particular period.
See "We extend credit to many of our customers in connection with their purchase of fuel and services from us, and our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be adversely affected if we are unable to collect accounts receivable," "Changes in the market prices of energy and commodities may have a material adverse effect on our business," "Our business depends on our ability to adequately finance our capital requirements and fund our investments, which, if not available to us, would impact our ability to conduct our operations," "Significant inflation and higher interest rates may adversely affect our business and financial condition," and "Our derivative transactions with customers, suppliers, merchants and financial institutions expose us to price and credit risks, which could have a material adverse effect on our business" in Item 1A – Risk Factors in our 2023 10-K Report for additional discussion of these risks.

Revenue. Our consolidated revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $11.0 billion, a decrease of $1.5 billion, or 12%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily driven by lower fuel prices across the three segments and decreased volumes in our aviation segment, as discussed further below.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $254.1 million, a decrease of $8.6 million, or 3%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, attributable to decreased gross profit of $12.8 million and $3.7 million in our land and marine segments, partially offset by increased gross profit of $7.9 million in our aviation segment, as discussed further below.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2024 were $190.8 million, a decrease of $7.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in operating expenses was primarily driven by lower general and administrative expenses due to our focus on driving operating efficiencies and lower incentive compensation costs, partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.
Non-Operating Income (Expense), net. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had net non-operating expense of $32.8 million compared to net non-operating expense of $37.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $5.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to lower interest expense, driven by a decrease in our average interest rates and daily borrowings, as well as fees associated with sales of accounts receivable under our RPA.
Income Taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized an income tax expense of $3.3 million, compared to income tax expense of $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease of $0.8 million was primarily attributable to differences in discrete tax items. See Note 12. Income Taxes for additional information.
Aviation Segment Results of Operations
The following provides a summary of the aviation segment results of operations for the periods indicated (in millions, except price per gallon):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | Change |
Revenue | | $ | 5,144.2 | | | $ | 6,222.8 | | | $ | (1,078.6) | |
| | | | | | |
Gross profit | | $ | 108.4 | | | $ | 100.6 | | | $ | 7.9 | |
Operating expenses | | 64.5 | | | 66.6 | | | (2.1) | |
Income (loss) from operations | | $ | 44.0 | | | $ | 34.0 | | | $ | 10.0 | |
| | | | | | |
Operational metrics: | | | | | | |
Aviation segment volumes (gallons) | | 1,673.1 | | | 1,777.1 | | | (104.0) | |
Aviation segment average price per gallon | | $ | 2.86 | | | $ | 3.30 | | | $ | (0.43) | |
Revenues in our aviation segment were $5.1 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $1.1 billion, or 17%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue was driven by lower average prices and a decrease in volume compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Average jet fuel price per gallon sold decreased by 13% in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Total aviation volumes decreased by 104.0 million gallons, or 6%, to 1.7 billion gallons driven primarily by a reduction in lower margin bulk fuel.
Aviation segment gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $108.4 million, an increase of $7.9 million, or 8%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in gross profit during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period was primarily attributable to stronger performance in our inventory businesses, our focus on improving returns in an elevated interest rate environment, and growth at operated airport locations during the three months ended March 31, 2024. These increases were slightly offset by a decrease in bulk fuel activity.
Income from operations in our aviation segment for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $44.0 million, an increase of $10.0 million, or 29%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition to the increase in gross profit discussed above, operating expenses decreased by $2.1 million primarily attributable to lower general and administrative expenses due to our focus on driving operating efficiencies.
Land Segment Results of Operations
The following provides a summary of the land segment results of operations for the periods indicated (in millions, except price per gallon):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | Change |
Revenue | | $ | 3,416.6 | | | $ | 3,891.3 | | | $ | (474.7) | |
| | | | | | |
Gross profit | | $ | 97.3 | | | $ | 110.1 | | | $ | (12.8) | |
Operating expenses | | 78.9 | | | 83.9 | | | (5.1) | |
Income (loss) from operations | | $ | 18.5 | | | $ | 26.2 | | | $ | (7.7) | |
| | | | | | |
Operational metrics: | | | | | | |
Land segment volumes (gallons) (1) | | 1,598.1 | | | 1,564.7 | | | 33.4 | |
Land segment average price per gallon | | $ | 2.14 | | | $ | 2.49 | | | $ | (0.35) | |
(1)Includes gallons and gallon equivalents of British Thermal Units (BTU) for our natural gas sales and Kilowatt Hours (kWh) for our power business.
Revenues in our land segment were $3.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a decrease of $0.5 billion, or 12%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in revenue was principally driven by lower average fuel prices, with average fuel prices decreasing by 14% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Total volumes increased by 33.4 million, or 2%, to 1.6 billion gallons or gallon equivalents in the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2023 primarily attributable to volume growth in our natural gas and power businesses offset by decreased volume in the U.K business as well as in our liquid fuel business in North America.
Our land segment gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $97.3 million, a decrease of $12.8 million, or 12%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit was primarily driven by lower profit contribution from our natural gas and U.K. businesses, which were impacted by unfavorable weather conditions, as well as our sustainability-related offerings. These decreases were partially offset by higher profitability in our liquid fuel business in North America during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
In our land segment, income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $18.5 million, a decrease of $7.7 million, or 30%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in gross profit discussed above was partially offset by a decrease in operating expenses principally related to lower incentive compensation costs and a reduction in general and administrative expenses attributable to our focus on driving operating efficiencies.
Marine Segment Results of Operations
The following provides a summary of the marine segment results of operations for the periods indicated (in millions, except price per metric ton):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the Three Months Ended March 31, | | |
| | 2024 | | 2023 | | Change |
Revenue | | $ | 2,390.5 | | | $ | 2,367.5 | | | $ | 23.0 | |
| | | | | | |
Gross profit | | $ | 48.4 | | | $ | 52.0 | | | $ | (3.7) | |
Operating expenses | | 21.6 | | | 21.2 | | | 0.3 | |
Income (loss) from operations | | $ | 26.8 | | | $ | 30.8 | | | $ | (4.0) | |
| | | | | | |
Operational metrics: | | | | | | |
Marine segment volumes (metric tons) | | 4.3 | | | 4.3 | | | 0.1 | |
Marine segment average price per metric ton | | $ | 552.04 | | | $ | 553.16 | | | $ | (1.12) | |
Revenues in our marine segment were $2.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024, an increase of $23.0 million, or 1%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, principally driven by increased volumes. Total volume increased 1% to 4.3 million metric tons for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, while average bunker fuel prices were flat compared to the prior year.
Marine segment gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $48.4 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, or 7%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023 principally due to a reduction in market volatility when compared to the heightened volatility experienced throughout 2022 and into the first quarter of 2023.
Our marine segment income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $26.8 million, a decrease of $4.0 million, or 13%, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, primarily due to the decrease in gross profit discussed above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity to fund working capital, as well as make strategic investments to further our growth strategy, is a significant priority for us. Our views concerning liquidity are based on currently available information and if circumstances change significantly, the future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced, and our liquidity would be adversely affected accordingly.
Sources of Liquidity and Factors Impacting Our Liquidity
Our liquidity, consisting principally of cash and availability under our Credit Facility, fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers, changes in fuel prices, as well as our financial performance.
Based on the information currently available, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024 and available funds from our Credit Facility, as described below, together with cash flows generated by operations, are sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Convertible Notes. On June 26, 2023, we issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.250% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the "Convertible Notes") which mature on July 1, 2028, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Convertible Notes are senior, unsecured obligations that bear interest at a rate of 3.250% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2024. The initial conversion rate was 35.1710 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $28.43 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for accrued and unpaid interest. Upon conversion, the Convertible Notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be converted, and in cash, shares of common stock or any combination thereof, at our option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount.
Credit Agreement. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the "Credit Agreement"), matures in April 2027 and provides for a term loan as well as a revolving credit facility of $1.5 billion (the "Credit Facility"). Our availability under the Credit Facility is limited by, among other things, our consolidated total leverage ratio, which is defined in the Credit Agreement and is based, in part, on our consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and share-based compensation, with such adjustments as specified therein, for the four immediately preceding fiscal quarters. The Credit Agreement generally limits the total amount of indebtedness we may incur to a consolidated total leverage ratio of not more than 4.75 to 1.
As a result of the foregoing, as well as other covenants and restrictions contained in our Credit Agreement, our availability under the Credit Facility may fluctuate from period to period. In addition, our failure to comply with the covenants contained in our Credit Agreement could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and our term loan, trigger cross-defaults under certain other agreements to which we are a party, and impair our ability to obtain working capital advances and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. See Note 7. Debt, Interest Income, Expense, and Other Finance Costs for additional information.
Receivables Purchase Agreements. We also have accounts receivable programs under RPAs that allow us to sell a specified amount of qualifying accounts receivable and receive cash consideration equal to the total balance, less an associated fee, which varies based on the outstanding accounts receivable at any given time. The RPAs provide the constituent banks with the ability to add or remove customers from these programs in their discretion based on, among other things, the level of risk exposure the bank is willing to accept with respect to any particular customer. The fees the banks charge us to purchase the receivables from these customers can also be impacted for these reasons. During the second quarter of 2023, we amended one of our RPAs to, among other things, reduce the overall fee structure. See Note 2. Accounts Receivable for additional information.
Future Uses of Liquidity
Cash is primarily used to fund working capital to support our operations as well as for strategic acquisitions and investments. There were no material changes in our expected future uses of liquidity from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024. For a discussion of these matters, refer to "Liquidity and Capital Resources" under Part II, Item 7 – Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2023 10-K Report.
Cash Flows
The following table reflects the major categories of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions). For additional details, please see the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| For the Three Months Ended March 31, |
| 2024 | | 2023 |
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities | $ | 110.2 | | | $ | 143.0 | |
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities | (16.9) | | | (23.5) | |
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | (64.3) | | | (192.8) | |
Operating Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash provided by operating activities was $110.2 million, compared to $143.0 million net cash provided during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The $32.7 million decrease in operating cash flows was principally due to relatively stable average fuel prices compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023, when lower fuel prices reduced our cost of inventory and decreased our accounts payable and accounts receivable. These decreases were offset by an increase in our net income (see
"Results of Operations" for further details of the drivers impacting our net income) adjusted for noncash items and cash provided by our derivative activities.
Investing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in investing activities was $16.9 million, compared to net cash used of $23.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily driven by capital expenditures of $17.5 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was principally driven by capital expenditures of $18.8 million.
Financing Activities. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $64.3 million compared to net cash used of $192.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to payments of deferred consideration related to prior acquisitions of $50.7 million, dividend payments of $8.4 million, and net repayments under our Credit Facility of $3.1 million. Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily attributable to net repayments under our Credit Facility of $123.1 million, payments of deferred consideration related to prior acquisitions of $60.8 million, and dividend payments of $8.6 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The significant accounting policies used are disclosed in Item 15 – Financial Statement Schedules, Note 1. Basis of Presentation, New Accounting Standards and Significant Accounting Policies to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 10-K report.
We make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes as of the date of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. There have been no material changes to the Critical Accounting Estimates disclosed in our 2023 10-K report.
Impairment Assessments of Goodwill, Long-Lived Assets, and Equity Investments
We assess accounting estimates that require consideration of forecasted financial information. Significant judgment is involved in performing these estimates as they are developed based on forecasted assumptions. As of March 31, 2024, the assumptions used in these assessments, particularly the expected growth rates, the profitability embedded in the projected cash flows provided by our legacy and newly acquired businesses, the discount rate and the market-based multiples, were defined based on available information considering current market volatility and geopolitical risks. Management also considered the volatility in the Company's market capitalization and evaluated the potential impact that this volatility may have on the estimated fair value of our reporting units.
Based on the assessments performed, and supported by the available information as of March 31, 2024, we concluded that the carrying value of our long-lived assets and equity investments were recoverable and that the fair value of our land and aviation reporting units were not less than their respective carrying values. If our results differ significantly from our assumptions, such impact could potentially result in impairments.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There have been no material changes to our exposures to commodity price, interest rate, or foreign currency risk since December 31, 2023. Please refer to our 2023 10-K Report for a complete discussion of our exposure to these risks.
For information about our derivative instruments at their respective fair value positions as of March 31, 2024, see Note 5. Derivative Instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and our Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required financial disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.
Part II — Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are under review by the IRS and various other domestic and foreign tax authorities with regards to income tax and indirect tax matters and are involved in various inquiries, audits, challenges and litigation in a number of countries, and the amounts under controversy may be material. See Note 12. Income Taxes and Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies within this 10-Q Report as well as Notes 10. Income Taxes and 11. Commitments and Contingencies within Part IV. Item 15 – Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 10-K Report for additional details regarding certain tax matters.
We are also a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, personal injury, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims and administrative claims.
In addition, Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC requires disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions, unless we reasonably believe that the matter will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions, exclusive of interest and costs, of less than a specified threshold. We have elected to use a threshold of $1 million for purposes of determining whether the disclosure of any such environmental proceeding is required.
We are not currently a party to any claim, complaint or proceeding that we expect to have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular reporting period could have a material adverse effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements or disclosures for that period. See Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies for additional information.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
In March 2020, the Company's Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program authorizing $200.0 million in common stock repurchases (the "2020 Repurchase Program"). Our repurchase program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased, has no expiration date, and repurchases may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of March 31, 2024, approximately $137.0 million remains available for purchase under the 2020 Repurchase Program. The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the 2020 Repurchase Program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors. We did not repurchase any shares during the first quarter of 2024.
Item 5. Other Information
Rule 10b5-1 Trading Plans
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, none of our officers (as defined in Rule 16a-1(f) of the Exchange Act) or directors adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" or "non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement," as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
