Executive Overview
Corpay is a global corporate payments and spend management company that helps businesses simplify, automate and control the way they make payments and optimize commercial payment workflows. Corpay provides a broad suite of payment and spend management solutions, including accounts payable automation and cross-border payment and foreign exchange risk management solutions (including foreign exchange spot, forward and option transactions), commercial card programs (e.g., purchasing cards, business cards and virtual cards), vehicle payment solutions (e.g., fuel cards, toll payments and related services) and lodging payment solutions (e.g., hotel and extended stay bookings). This results in our customers saving time and ultimately spending less.
We estimate that businesses spend approximately $145 trillion annually in transactions with other businesses. In many instances, businesses continue to rely on fragmented systems and manual processes to approve, execute and reconcile payments and manage spending across their organizations. These challenges can result in operational inefficiencies, limited visibility into spending, increased fraud risk, manual reconciliation efforts, higher administrative costs and less informed financial decision-making.
Our integrated payment and spend management solutions provide meaningful advantages over traditional payment methods, including cash, paper checks, general purpose credit cards and manual employee reimbursement processes.
Corpay has been a member of the S&P 500 since 2018 and trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CPAY.
Impact of Economic Environment on Our Business
Some of the countries where we operate, and other countries where we will seek to operate, have undergone significant political, economic and social change and events in recent periods. Adverse global macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to recessions or economic downturns, inflation, changing interest rates, currency fluctuations, economic sanctions (including tariffs), regional or domestic hostilities and the prospect or occurrence of more widespread conflicts, a slowdown of global trade, or reduced consumer spending, could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
We are actively monitoring the changes and events and assessing the impact on our business. The extent, severity, duration and outcome of market disruptions could be significant and could potentially have substantial impact on the global economy and our business for an unknown period of time. Measures such as sanctions and tariffs may adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We cannot predict the scope of macroeconomic factors because these measures are complex and evolving. Any such disruptions may also magnify the impact of other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Adjusted net income attributable to Corpay, adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to Corpay, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. See the heading entitled "Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for more information and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We use adjusted net income attributable to Corpay, adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to Corpay, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to eliminate the effect of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance on a consistent basis. These non-GAAP measures are presented solely to permit investors to more fully understand how our management assesses underlying performance and are not, and should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP measures, and should be viewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial measures.

Sources of Revenue
Corpay offers a variety of payment solutions that simplify, automate, secure, digitize and effectively control the way businesses and consumers manage and pay their expenses. We provide our payment solutions to our business, merchant, consumer and payment network customers in more than 200 countries around the world today, although we operate primarily in three geographies, with approximately 76% of our business in the U.S., Brazil and the U.K. Our customers may include commercial businesses (obtained through direct and indirect channels) and partners for whom we manage payment programs, as well as consumers.
We report information about our operating segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to segments. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company refined its segment composition within its existing reportable segments to reflect how our Chief Executive Officer, who is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), organizes and manages the global business. We manage and report our operating results through the following three reportable segments: Corporate Payments, Vehicle Payments and Lodging Payments. The remaining results are included within Other, which includes our Gift, Outsourced Card Processing and Payroll Card businesses. The refined composition within these reportable segments align with how the CODM allocates resources, assesses performance and reviews financial information. The presentation of segment information has been recast for the prior periods to align with the revised segment presentation.
Our revenue is generally reported net of the cost for underlying products and services purchased. In this report, we refer to this net revenue as “revenue" or "revenues, net." See “Results of Operations” for additional segment information.
Revenues, net, by Segment. During the first quarter of 2026, we refined our segment composition within our existing reportable segments to reflect how our CODM currently organizes and manages the global business. As a result of the changes, our segment structure was updated. These changes include realignment of our outsourced card processing business from Corporate Payments to Other, and enterprise clients using our spend management product for vehicle and corporate payments from Vehicle Payments to Corporate Payments. The refined composition within our reportable segments aligns with how the CODM allocates resources, assesses performance and reviews financial information. Prior periods have been recast to conform with current segment presentation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, our segments generated the following revenues, net (in millions, except percentages).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information,
this discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual
results to differ materially from management’s expectations. Factors that could cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, those identified below and those described in Item 1A “Risk Factors” appearing elsewhere in this report. All foreign
currency amounts that have been converted into U.S. dollars in this discussion are based on the exchange rate as reported by
Oanda for the applicable periods.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations generally discusses 2025 and 2024
items, with year-over-year comparisons between these two years. A detailed discussion of 2024 items and year-over-year
comparisons between 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K can be found in “Management’s
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Executive Overview
Corpay is a global corporate payments company that helps businesses and consumers better manage and pay their expenses in a
simple, controlled manner. Corpay provides a broad suite of payment and spend management solutions, including accounts
payable automation and cross-border payment solutions (including foreign exchange spot, forward and option transactions),
commercial card programs (e.g., purchasing cards, business cards and virtual cards), vehicle payment solutions (e.g., fuel cards,
toll payments and related services) and lodging payment solutions (e.g., hotel and extended stay bookings). This results in our
customers saving time and ultimately spending less. Corpay has been a member of the S&P 500 since 2018 and trades on the
New York Stock Exchange under the ticker CPAY.
We estimate that businesses spend approximately $145 trillion annually in transactions with other businesses. In many
instances, businesses lack the proper tools to monitor what is being purchased and employ manual, paper-based, disparate
processes and methods to both approve and make payments for their business-to-business purchases. This often results in
wasted time and money due to unnecessary or unauthorized spending, fraud, receipt collection, data input and consolidation,
report generation, reimbursement processing, account reconciliations, employee disciplinary actions and more.
Corpay’s vision is that every payment is digital, every purchase is controlled and every related decision is informed. Our wide
range of modern, digitized solutions provide control, reporting and automation benefits superior to many of the payment
methods businesses often use such as cash, paper checks, general purpose credit cards, as well as employee payment processes.
Comdata Merchant Solutions Disposition
In May 2024, we signed a definitive agreement to sell the merchant solutions business, a business within the U.S. division of
our Vehicle Payments segment (the "disposal group") to a third party. The transaction was completed during December 2024.
The disposal group's assets and liabilities were recorded at their carrying value. Goodwill of approximately $58.2 million was
allocated to the carrying value of the disposal group based on a relative fair value analysis.
We received total proceeds of $185.5 million, which have been recorded within investing activities in the accompanying
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In connection with the sale, we recorded a net gain on disposal of $121.3 million
during the year ended December 31, 2024, which represents the proceeds received less the derecognition of the related net
assets.

Adjusted net income attributable to Corpay, adjusted net income per diluted share attributable to Corpay, EBITDA, adjusted
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of operating performance. See the
heading entitled “Management’s Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for more information and a reconciliation of the non-
GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. We use adjusted net income attributable to Corpay, adjusted net income per diluted
share attributable to Corpay, EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin to eliminate the effect of items that we
do not consider indicative of our core operating performance on a consistent basis. These non-GAAP measures are presented
solely to permit investors to more fully understand how our management assesses underlying performance and are not, and
should not be viewed as, a substitute for GAAP measures and should be viewed in conjunction with our GAAP financial
measures.
Sources of Revenue
Corpay offers a variety of payment solutions that help to simplify, automate, secure, digitize and effectively control the way
businesses and consumers manage and pay their expenses. We provide our payment solutions to our business, merchant,
consumer and payment network customers in more than 200 countries around the world today, although we operate primarily in
three geographies, with approximately 79% of our business in the U.S., Brazil and the U.K. Our customers may include
commercial businesses (obtained through direct and indirect channels) and partners for whom we manage payment programs,
as well as consumers.
We report information about our operating segments in accordance with the authoritative guidance related to segments. We
manage and report our operating results through the following three reportable segments: Corporate Payments, Vehicle
Payments and Lodging Payments. The remaining results are included within Other, which includes our Gift and Payroll Card
businesses. These segments align with how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) allocates resources, assesses
performance and reviews financial information.
Our revenue is generally reported net of the cost for underlying products and services purchased. In this report, we refer to this
net revenue as “revenue" or "revenues, net". See “Results of Operations” for additional segment information.

In our Corporate Payments segment, our payables business primarily earns revenue from the difference between the amount
charged to the customer and the amount paid to the third party for a given transaction, as interchange or spread revenue. Our
programs may also charge fixed fees for access to the network and ancillary services provided. Revenues from risk
management products and foreign exchange payment services are primarily comprised of the difference between the exchange
rate we set for the customer and the rate available in the wholesale foreign exchange market. In our cross-border business, our
revenue is from exchanges of currency at spot rates, which enables customers to make cross-currency payments. Our cross-
border business also derives revenue from our risk management business, which aggregates foreign currency exposures arising
38
from customer contracts and economically hedges the resulting net currency risks by entering into offsetting contracts with
established financial institution counterparties. We also generate float revenue earned on invested customer funds in
jurisdictions where permitted.
We generate revenue in our Vehicle Payments segment through a variety of program fees, including transaction fees, card fees,
network fees and charges, as well as from interchange. These fees may be charged as fixed amounts, costs plus a mark-up,
based on a percentage of the transaction purchase amounts, or a combination thereof. Our programs also include other fees and
charges associated with late payments and based on customer credit risk. We also generate float revenue earned on invested
customer funds in jurisdictions where permitted.
In our Lodging Payments segment, we primarily earn revenue from the difference between the amount charged to the customer
and the amount paid to the hotel for a given transaction or based on commissions paid by hotels. We may also charge fees for
access to the network and ancillary services provided.
The remaining revenues represent other solutions in our Gift and Payroll Card businesses, referred to as Other. In these
businesses, we primarily earn revenue from the processing of transactions. We may also charge fees for ancillary services
provided.
