FLEETCOR’s top line remains healthy, driven by both organic and inorganic growth. Revenues grew 10% organically in the second quarter of 2023, driven by an increase in transaction volumes and new sales growth. Acquisitions completed in 2022 and 2023 contributed around $19 million to the top line in the quarter.
The recent acquisition of U.K.-based cross-border payments provider, Global Reach Group, has strengthened FLEETCOR’s global position as a non-bank cross-border provider by increasing its scale of payments. Another acquisition, Mina, a cloud-based electric vehicle charging software platform, provided FLEETCOR a home-charging software solution for commercial fleets in the U.K.
FLEETCOR has a consistent track record of share repurchases. In 2022, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the company repurchased shares worth $1.41 billion, $1.36 billion, $849.9 million and $694.9 million, respectively. Such moves not only instill investors’ confidence but also positively impact earnings per share.
