FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for statements that are forward-looking and are not statements of historical facts. This Quarterly Report includes forward-looking statements. Any statements in this Quarterly Report that are not statements of historical facts may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. When used in this Quarterly Report, the words “may,” “could,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “continue,” “project,” “intend,” “estimate,” “believe,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such words. Forward-looking statements relate to our future plans, objectives, expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance to be materially different from future results or performance expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report, in press releases and in oral statements made by our authorized officers: the effects of general economic conditions on fueling patterns and the commercial activity of fleets; the effects of the Company’s international business expansion and integration efforts and any failure of those efforts; the impact and range of credit losses; breaches of the Company’s technology systems and any resulting negative impact on our reputation liability, or loss of relationships with customers or merchants; the Company’s failure to successfully integrate the businesses it has acquired; fuel price volatility; the Company’s failure to maintain or renew key agreements; failure to expand the Company’s technological capabilities and service offerings as rapidly as the Company’s competitors; the actions of regulatory bodies, including banking and securities regulators, or possible changes in banking regulations impacting the Company’s industrial bank and the Company as the corporate parent; the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on the Company’s operations, revenue and income; changes in interest rates; financial loss if the Company determines it necessary to unwind its derivative instrument position prior to the expiration of a contract; the incurrence of impairment charges if our assessment of the fair value of certain of our reporting units changes; the uncertainties of litigation; as well as other risks and uncertainties identified in Item 1A of our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed on Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2012. Our forward-looking statements and these factors do not reflect the potential future impact of any alliance, merger, acquisition or disposition. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the initial filing of this Quarterly Report and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. We disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(in thousands, except per share data)

(unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Wright Express Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2011. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 28, 2012. When used in these notes, the term “Company” means Wright Express Corporation and all entities included in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter(s) or the year ending December 31, 2012.

In the first quarter of 2012, consolidated stockholders’ equity changed because of (i) changes in other comprehensive income reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income; (ii) changes in common stock and additional paid-in capital reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows (including stock-based compensation, proceeds from stock option exercises and tax activities around share-based awards); and (iii) net income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying values of certificates of deposit, interest-bearing money market deposits, borrowed federal funds and credit agreement borrowings, approximate their respective fair values as the interest rates on these financial instruments are variable. All other financial instruments are reflected at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

2. New Accounting Standards

On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs (“ASU 2011-04”). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments are intended to create comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2011-05 require an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. On December 23, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 to defer the new requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Companies are still required to adopt the other requirements contained in ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and has provided the required disclosures in a single statement with the Consolidated Statement of Income.

3. Business Acquisitions

Acquisition of rapid! Financial Services LLC.

On March 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of rapid! Financial Services LLC (“rapid! PayCard”) for approximately $18,000 including an estimate of contingent consideration for future performance milestones of $10,000. rapid! PayCard is a provider of payroll prepaid cards, e-paystubs and e-W2s, and is focused on small and medium sized businesses. The Company purchased rapid! PayCard to expand its Other Payment Solutions segment. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon a preliminary estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company revised the intangible assets associated with the trade name. These valuations of intangible assets have been finalized. The tax basis goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

A contingent consideration agreement was entered into in connection with the purchase of rapid! PayCard. Under the terms of the agreement the former owners of rapid! PayCard will receive additional consideration based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, measured over the twelve-month period from the date of purchase. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company revised the estimate of contingent consideration to $8,486. On April 30, 2012, the Company paid the former owners of rapid! Paycard in accordance with the contingent consideration agreement. The resulting impact of this adjustment ($839) during the first quarter of 2012 was an offset to other operating expense in our Other Payment Solutions segment and does not impact the allocation of purchase price.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired:

	March 31, 2012			December 31, 2011
Consideration paid (including estimated $10,000 earn out)	$	18,081		$	18,081

7. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Interest rate swap arrangements are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s variable-rate borrowings. The Company also enters into put and call option contracts based on the wholesale price of gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel, which settle on a monthly basis, related to the Company’s commodity price risk. These put and call option contracts, or fuel price derivative instruments, are designed to reduce the volatility of the Company’s cash flows associated with its fuel price-related earnings exposure in North America.

Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company designates interest rate swap arrangements as cash flow hedges of the forecasted interest payments on a portion of its variable-rate credit agreement. The Company’s fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under current guidance, and therefore, no such hedging designation has been made. Because the derivatives are either accounting or economic hedges of operational exposures, cash flows from the settlement of such contracts are included in “Cash flows from operating activities” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap arrangements.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in current earnings. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had the following put and call option contracts which settle on a monthly basis:

	Aggregate Notional Amount (gallons) (a)
Fuel price derivative instruments – unleaded fuel Option contracts settling April 2012 – September 2013		36,483
Fuel price derivative instruments – diesel Option contracts settling April 2012– September 2013		16,391
Total fuel price derivative instruments		52,874

(a) The settlement of the put and call option contracts is based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange’s New York Harbor Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending and the U.S. Department of Energy’s weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price for the month.

8. Fair Value

The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities, derivatives and certain other financial instruments which 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. In determining the fair value of the Company’s obligations, various factors are considered, including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; 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.

Available-for-sale securities and executive deferred compensation plan trust

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of available-for-sale securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. These securities primarily consist of exchange-traded equity securities.

For mortgage-backed and asset-backed debt securities and bonds, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally classified as Level 2.

Fuel price derivatives and interest rate swap arrangements

The majority of derivatives entered into by the Company are executed over the counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. The principal technique used to value these instruments is a comparison of the spot price of the underlying instrument to its related futures curve adjusted for the Company’s assumptions of volatility and present value, where appropriate. The fair values of derivative contracts reflect the expected cash the Company will pay or receive upon settlement of the respective contracts.

The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, the spot price of the underlying instrument, volatility, and correlation. The item is placed in either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Correlation and items with longer tenures are generally less observable.

Fuel price derivatives – diesel. The assumptions used in the valuation of the diesel fuel price derivatives use both observable and unobservable inputs. With respect to forward prices for diesel fuel, there is a lack of price transparency. Such unobservable inputs are significant to the diesel fuel derivative contact valuation methodology.

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s diesel fuel price derivative instruments designated as Level 3 are as follows:

	Fair Value at March 31, 2012		Valuation Technique		Unobservable Input	Range $ per gallon
Fuel price derivatives – diesel	$	3,243		Option model	Future retail price of diesel fuel after March 31, 2012	$	3.72 – 3.81

Sensitivity To Changes In Significant Unobservable Inputs. As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s diesel fuel price derivative instruments are the future retail price of diesel fuel from the second quarter of 2012 through the third quarter of 2013. Significant changes in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Contingent consideration

The Company classified its liability for contingent consideration related to its acquisition of rapid! PayCard within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value was determined using significant unobservable inputs, which include the revenues of rapid! PayCard over a twelve month period ending on March 31, 2012. On March 31, 2012, the amount due was determined to be $8,486 and was paid on April 30, 2012.

9. Stock-Based Compensation

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company awarded restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units to employees under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2012 grant”). Expense associated with the performance-based restricted stock units may increase or decrease due to changes in the probability of the Company achieving pre-established performance metrics. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, total stock-based compensation cost recognized was approximately $3,400. As of March 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units was approximately $15,400, to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of these awards.

10. Income Taxes

Management has determined that future earnings generated by the Company’s Australia subsidiaries will be invested indefinitely outside the United States. Accordingly, no incremental domestic tax effects have been contemplated in deferred tax balances. As of March 31, 2012, the amount of unremitted earnings designated as indefinitely invested totaled $6,657.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in pending litigation in the usual course of business. In the opinion of management, such litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

12. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets.

The Company’s chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the Company’s reportable segments based upon revenues and “adjusted net income,” which is defined by the Company as net income adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments, the amortization of purchased intangibles, the net impact of tax rate changes on the Company’s deferred tax asset and related changes in the tax-receivable agreement, certain non-cash asset impairment charges and the gains on the extinguishment of a portion of the tax receivable agreement. These adjustments are reflected net of the tax impact.

The Company operates in two reportable segments, Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers. The Other Payment Solutions segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. Revenue in this segment is derived from our corporate charge cards, single use accounts and prepaid card products. The corporate charge card products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize the Company’s information management capabilities. The operations from the rapid! acquisition appear in the Other Payment Solutions segment.

Financing interest expense and net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments are not allocated to the Other Payment Solutions segment in the computation of segment results for internal evaluation purposes. Total assets are not allocated to the segments.

The following table presents the Company’s reportable segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

We intend for this discussion to provide the reader with information that will assist in understanding our financial statements, the changes in key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting estimates affect our financial statements. The discussion also provides information about the financial results of the two segments of our business to provide a better understanding of how those segments and their results affect our financial condition and results of operations as a whole. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2011, the notes accompanying those financial statements and management’s discussion and analysis as contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2012 and in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes in Item 1 of Part I of this report.

Overview

Wright Express Corporation is a leading provider of value-based, business payment processing and information management solutions. We provide products and services that meet the needs of businesses in various geographic regions including North America, Asia Pacific and Europe. The Company’s fleet and other payment solutions provide its more than 350,000 customers with security and control for complex payments across a wide spectrum of business sectors. Together with our affiliates, we market our products and services directly, as well as through more than 150 strategic relationships which include major oil companies, fuel retailers and vehicle maintenance providers.

Our Company is organized under two segments, Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with fleet vehicle payment processing services specifically designed for the needs of commercial and government fleets. Fleet Payment Solutions revenue, which represents a majority of our total revenue, is earned primarily from payment processing, account servicing and transaction processing, with the majority generated by payment processing.

The Other Payment Solutions segment of our business provides customers with payment processing solutions for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs through our corporate charge card, and through our prepaid and gift card products and services. Other Payment Solutions revenue is earned primarily from payment processing revenue.

Summary

Below are selected items from the first quarter of 2012:

• Average number of vehicles serviced increased 13 percent from the first quarter of 2011 to approximately 6.7 million, primarily due to the addition of fleet for BP Australia.

• Total fuel transactions processed increased 8 percent from the first quarter of 2011 to 79.3 million. Payment processing transactions increased 3 percent to 60.6 million, while transaction processing transactions increased 31 percent to 18.7 million, over the same period in the prior year. These increases are primarily due to the addition of fleet transactions in BP Australia. Domestic payment processing transaction increased 2 percent over the same period in the prior year.

• Average expenditure per payment processing transaction increased 12 percent to $74.37 from $66.42 for the same period last year. This increase was driven by higher average retail fuel prices. The average U.S. fuel price per gallon during the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $3.72 for North America, a 10 percent increase over the same period last year. The average Australian fuel price per gallon during the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $5.80, a 9 percent increase over the same period last year.

• Realized losses on our fuel price derivatives were $5.3 million compared to realized losses of $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2011.

- 21 -

• Credit loss expense in the fleet segment was $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, versus $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.

• Corporate charge card purchase volume grew $754 million to $2.2 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2012, an increase of 52 percent over the same period last year.

Revenues

Payment processing revenue increased $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to the 10 percent increase in the average domestic price per gallon of fuel, representing approximately $5.0 million of the increase. Also contributing to the increase is the increase in the number of domestic payment processing transactions, which contributed approximately $2.6 million. The remaining $0.6 million increase in payment processing revenue is due to operations at Wright Express Australia for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an 8 percent increase in transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Account servicing revenue increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year. Approximately $0.8 million of the increase is related to an increase in the number of cards at Wright Express Australia. The remaining increase is primarily due to an increase in WEXSmart units as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Our finance fees have increased $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, over the same period in the prior year. Payments for customer receivables are due within thirty days or less. Finance fee revenue is earned when a customer’s receivable balance becomes delinquent. The finance fee is calculated using a stated late fee rate based on the outstanding balance. The absolute amount of such outstanding balances can be attributed to (i) changes in fuel prices; (ii) customer specific transaction volume; and (iii) customer specific delinquencies. Finance fee revenue can also be impacted by changes in (i) late fee rates and (ii) increases or decreases in the number of customers with overdue balances. The increase in these fees is primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances, as a result of higher fuel prices and transaction volume.

Operating Expenses

The following table compares selected expense line items within our Fleet Payment Solutions segment for the three months ended March 31:

(in thousands)	2012		2011		Increase (decrease)
Expense
Salary and other personnel	$	25,175	$	23,230		8	%
Provision for credit losses	$	3,827	$	5,549		(31	)%
Service fees	$	6,241	$	4,430		41	%
Operating interest expense	$	934	$	1,020		(8	)%

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to additional employees, which added approximately $1.0 million in expense over the same period in the prior year. Lower capitalized payroll during the first quarter of 2012, as compared to the first quarter in the prior year, contributed approximately $0.5 million of the increase in salary expense.

We generally measure our credit loss performance by calculating credit losses as a percentage of total fuel expenditures on payment processing transactions (“Fuel Expenditures”). This metric for credit losses was 8.5 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to 14.2 basis points of Fuel Expenditures for the same period last year, on a fully consolidated basis. We use a roll rate methodology to calculate the amount necessary for our ending receivable reserve balance. This methodology takes into account total receivable balances, recent charge off experience, recoveries on previously charged off accounts, and the dollars that are delinquent to calculate the total reserve. In addition, management undertakes a detailed evaluation of the receivable balances to help ensure further overall reserve adequacy. The expense we recognized in the quarter is the amount necessary to bring the reserve to its required level after net charge offs. The decrease in expense during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the prior quarter, is primarily due to favorable aging and related rolls rates, along with increased recoveries of balances previously charged off.

Service fees increased $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period last year. The increase is primarily due an increase in professional fees during the first quarter of 2012.

Operating interest expense decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period in 2011. The decrease in operating interest expense is primarily due to lower interest rates offset by higher operating debt balances. For the first quarter of 2012, the average interest rate was 0.65 percent, as compared to an average interest rate of 0.87 percent for the first quarter of 2011.

Fuel price derivatives

We own fuel price derivative instruments that we purchase on a periodic basis to manage the impact of volatility in North American fuel prices on our cash flows. These fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting. Accordingly, both realized and unrealized gains and losses on our fuel price derivative instruments affect our net income. Activity related to the changes in fair value and settlements of these instruments and the changes in average fuel prices in relation to the underlying strike price of the instruments is shown in the following table:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Fuel price derivatives, at fair value, beginning of period	$	(5	)	$	(10,877	)
Net change in fair value		(18,812	)		(25,175	)
Cash payments (receipts) on settlement		5,257			4,357
Fuel price derivatives, at fair value, end of period	$	(13,560	)	$	(31,695	)
Collar range:
Floor	$	3.09		$	2.97
Ceiling	$	3.15		$	3.03
Domestic average fuel price, beginning of period	$	3.45		$	3.15
Domestic average fuel price, end of period	$	3.99		$	3.69

Changes in fuel price derivatives for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the corresponding period a year ago are attributable to upward movements in fuel prices. The average price of fuel, as indicated above, is in excess of the ceiling price of our derivatives, leading to a derivative liability on our balance sheet. The losses that we actually realize on these derivatives are offset by higher payment processing revenue we receive because such revenues are dependant, in part, on the current price of fuel.

We expect that our fuel price derivatives program will continue to be important to our business model going forward, and we expect to purchase derivatives in the future. The Company currently does not plan to hedge our fuel price risk exposure for Wright Express Australia as the earnings exposure to fuel price movements is more limited than it is domestically.

Effective tax rates

Our effective tax rate was 36.9 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 36.4 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The rate fluctuated due to changes in the mix of earnings among different tax jurisdictions including our foreign subsidiaries. Our tax rate may fluctuate due to the impacts that rate mix changes have on our net deferred tax assets. Proposed changes in Australia tax consolidation laws have been announced. These proposed changes could impact the deductibility of approximately $70 million in amortization expense in Australia and hence may result in a discrete charge in our recorded tax expense in the current year.

NM – Not Meaningful

Revenues

Payment processing revenue increased $5.6 million, as compared to the same period in the prior year, which was primarily driven by higher corporate charge card purchase volume from our single use account product in the online travel service and insurance/warranty markets and by increased market penetration with our corporate charge card product. The corporate charge card net interchange rate for the first quarter of 2012 was down 11 basis points to 0.90 percent, which equates to approximately $2.4 million, as compared to the first quarter of last year, primarily due to contract mix, increased foreign spend, which generally has a lower interchange rate than domestic transactions, and a reduction in customer specific incentives received from MasterCard.

Other revenue has increased $2.8 million over the same period in the prior year, primarily from increased fees related to cross border charges.

Operating Expenses

The following table compares selected expense line items within our Other Payment Solutions segment for the three months ended March 31:

(in thousands)	2012		2011		Increase (decrease)
Expense
Salary and other personnel	$	3,540	$	2,463		44	%
Provision for credit losses	$	1,215	$	110		NM
Service fees	$	14,067	$	8,581		64	%
NM – Not Meaningful

Salary and other personnel expenses increased $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to the acquisition of rapid! Paycard, which occurred at the end of the first quarter in 2011.

Provision for credit losses increased $1.1 million during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a $0.9 million bankruptcy of a single customer during the first quarter of 2012.

Service fees increased $5.5 million during the first quarter of 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase is primarily due to increased volume and cross border charges on our North America corporate charge card product.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Cash Flows

We focus on management operating cash as a key element in achieving maximum stockholder value, and it is the primary measure we use internally to monitor cash flow performance from our core operations. Since deposits, interest-bearing money market deposits and borrowed federal funds are used to finance our accounts receivable, we believe that they are a recurring and necessary use and source of cash. As such, we consider deposits and borrowed federal funds when evaluating our operating activities. For the same reason, we believe that management operating cash may also be useful to investors as one means of evaluating our performance. However, management operating cash is a non-GAAP measure and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, net cash provided by (used for) operating activities as presented on the consolidated statement of cash flows in accordance with GAAP.

While GAAP operating cash flows showed a use of $38.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, management operating cash moved in the opposite direction providing approximately $15.2 million inflows. Our first quarter of 2011 cash flows were use of $44.5 million in GAAP operating cash flows and $24 million in management operating cash inflows.

In addition to the $15.2 million of management operating cash we generated during the first quarter of 2012, we also decreased borrowings under our revolving credit facility by $6.9 million.

Management Operating Cash

The table below reconciles net cash provided by operating activities to change in management operating cash:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Net cash (used) provided by operating activities	$	(38,238	)	$	(44,528	)
Net change in deposits and interest-bearing money market deposits		13,085			128,018
Net change in borrowed federal funds		40,326			(59,484	)
Change in management operating cash	$	15,173		$	24,006

Our bank subsidiary, Wright Express Financial Services Corporation (“FSC”), utilizes certificates of deposit to finance our accounts receivable. FSC issued certificates of deposit in various maturities ranging between four weeks and two years and with fixed interest rates ranging from 0.25 percent to 1.45 percent as of March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $593.1 million of deposits outstanding. Certificates of deposit are subject to regulatory capital requirements. FSC also issues interest-bearing money market deposits to finance our accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2012, we had approximately $102.6 million of interest-bearing money market deposits at a weighted average rate of 0.58 percent.

FSC also utilizes federal funds lines of credit to supplement the financing of our accounts receivable. We have approximately $93 million available on our $140 million federal funds lines of credit as of March 31, 2012.

Liquidity

We continue to have appropriate access to short-term borrowing instruments to fund our accounts receivable. Our cash balance for the period increased by approximately $4.7 million, as deposits and borrowed federal funds increased approximately $53.4 million and our accounts receivable increased approximately $230 million, primarily due to increased fuel prices.

We have approximately 4 years left on our revolving credit facility and have approximately $98.4 million in borrowings against it. As of March 31, 2012, the unutilized portion of our revolving credit facility was $599.2 million. Outstanding debt under our amortizing term loan arrangement which expires in May of 2016, totaled $190 million at March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, amount outstanding under the amortizing term loan bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points. Amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at our option, (a) LIBOR plus 150 basis points or (b) the prime rate plus 50 basis points. We decreased our financing debt by $6.9 million during the first three months and ended the period with a balance outstanding of $288.4 million.

Our credit agreement contains various financial covenants requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. In addition to the financial covenants, the credit agreement contains various customary restrictive covenants including restrictions in certain situations on the payment of dividends. FSC is not subject to certain of these restrictions. We have been, and expect to continue to be, in compliance with all material covenants and restrictions.

- 28 -

In prior years, we have entered into interest rate swap arrangements to convert our variable rate borrowings to fixed rate borrowings. Our last interest rate swap arrangement of $150 million expired in March 2012. We continue to review our projected borrowings under our credit facility and the current interest rate environment to determine if additional swaps should be executed. As of March 31, 2012 we do not have any interest rate swap arrangements.

Undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries of the Company amounted to $6.7 million as of March 31, 2012. If we were to distribute such earnings in the form of dividends or otherwise, the Company would be subject to both U.S. income taxes (subject to an adjustment for foreign tax credits) and withholding taxes payable to the various foreign countries.

Management believes that we can adequately fund our cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

Letters of credit. We are required to post collateral to secure our fuel price sensitive derivative instruments where our unrealized loss exceeds any unsecured credit granted by our counter party. At March 31, 2012, we had posted as collateral letters of credit totaling $2.4 million.

Purchase of Treasury Shares

We did not repurchase any shares of common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Shelf Registration

On April 10, 2012, the Company filed a universal shelf registration with the SEC.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of Wright Express Corporation evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. “Disclosure controls and procedures” are controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, and is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

As of the date of this filing, we are not involved in any material legal proceedings. We also were not involved in any material legal proceedings that were terminated during the first quarter of 2012. However, from time to time, we are subject to other legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business, none of which we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

3. Business Acquisitions

Acquisition of rapid! Financial Services LLC.

On March 31, 2011, the Company acquired certain assets of rapid! Financial Services LLC ("rapid! PayCard") for approximately $18,000 including an estimate of contingent consideration for future performance milestones of $10,000. rapid! PayCard is a provider of payroll prepaid cards, e-paystubs and e-W2s, and is focused on small and medium sized businesses. The Company purchased rapid! PayCard to expand its Other Payment Solutions segment. During the first quarter of 2011, the Company allocated the purchase price of the acquisition based upon a preliminary estimate of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company revised the intangible assets associated with the trade name. These valuations of intangible assets have been finalized. The tax basis goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

A contingent consideration agreement was entered into in connection with the purchase of rapid! PayCard. Under the terms of the agreement the former owners of rapid! PayCard will receive additional consideration based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, measured over the twelve-month period from the date of purchase. During the first quarter of 2012, the Company revised the estimate of contingent consideration to $8,486. On April 30, 2012, the Company paid the former owners of rapid! Paycard in accordance with the contingent consideration agreement. The resulting impact of this adjustment ($839) during the first quarter of 2012 was an offset to other operating expense in our Other Payment Solutions segment and does not impact the allocation of purchase price.

The following is a summary of the allocation of the purchase price to the assets and liabilities acquired:

	March 31, 2012			December 31, 2011
Consideration paid (including estimated $10,000 earn out)	$	18,081		$	18,081

New Accounting Standards

2. New Accounting Standards

On May 12, 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs ("ASU 2011-04"). The amendments in ASU 2011-04 change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The amendments are intended to create comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

On June 16, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2011-05"). The amendments in ASU 2011-05 require entities to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Additionally, the amendments in ASU 2011-05 require an entity to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. On December 23, 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 to defer the new requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements. Companies are still required to adopt the other requirements contained in ASU 2011-05. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 and has provided the required disclosures in a single statement with the Consolidated Statement of Income.

Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Basis Of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for complete financial statements. However, except as disclosed herein, there have been no material changes in the information disclosed in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Wright Express Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2011. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements that are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 28, 2012. When used in these notes, the term "Company" means Wright Express Corporation and all entities included in the consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-months ended March 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any future quarter(s) or the year ending December 31, 2012.

In the first quarter of 2012, consolidated stockholders' equity changed because of (i) changes in other comprehensive income reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income; (ii) changes in common stock and additional paid-in capital reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows (including stock-based compensation, proceeds from stock option exercises and tax activities around share-based awards); and (iii) net income.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities approximate their respective fair values due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying values of certificates of deposit, interest-bearing money market deposits, borrowed federal funds and credit agreement borrowings, approximate their respective fair values as the interest rates on these financial instruments are variable. All other financial instruments are reflected at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet.

Segment Information [Abstract]

Segment Information

12. Segment Information

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company's chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer. The operating segments are reviewed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit that generally offers different products and serves different markets.

The Company's chief operating decision maker evaluates the operating results of the Company's reportable segments based upon revenues and "adjusted net income," which is defined by the Company as net income adjusted for fair value changes of derivative instruments, the amortization of purchased intangibles, the net impact of tax rate changes on the Company's deferred tax asset and related changes in the tax-receivable agreement, certain non-cash asset impairment charges and the gains on the extinguishment of a portion of the tax receivable agreement. These adjustments are reflected net of the tax impact.

The Company operates in two reportable segments, Fleet Payment Solutions and Other Payment Solutions. The Fleet Payment Solutions segment provides customers with payment and transaction processing services specifically designed for the needs of vehicle fleet customers. This segment also provides information management services to these fleet customers. The Other Payment Solutions segment provides customers with a payment processing solution for their corporate purchasing and transaction monitoring needs. Revenue in this segment is derived from our corporate charge cards, single use accounts and prepaid card products. The corporate charge card products are used by businesses to facilitate purchases of products and utilize the Company's information management capabilities. The operations from the rapid! acquisition appear in the Other Payment Solutions segment.

Financing interest expense and net realized and unrealized losses on derivative instruments are not allocated to the Other Payment Solutions segment in the computation of segment results for internal evaluation purposes. Total assets are not allocated to the segments.

The following table presents the Company's reportable segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

	Total Revenues		Operating Interest Expense		Depreciation and Amortization		Provision for Income Taxes		Adjusted Net Income

Total	$	120,090	$	1,278	$	5,404	$	16,263	$	29,166

The following table reconciles adjusted net income to net income:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2012			2011
Adjusted net income	$	35,567		$	29,166
Unrealized losses on fuel price derivatives		(13,555	)		(20,818	)
Amortization of acquired intangible assets		(5,086	)		(5,565	)
Tax impact of the above transactions		6,310			9,332
Net income	$	23,236		$	12,115

The tax impact of the foregoing adjustments is the difference between the Company's GAAP tax provision and a pro forma tax provision based upon the Company's adjusted net income before taxes. The methodology utilized for calculating the Company's adjusted net income tax provision is the same methodology utilized in calculating the Company's GAAP tax provision.

During the first quarter of 2012, the Company awarded restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units to employees under the 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the "2012 grant"). Expense associated with the performance-based restricted stock units may increase or decrease due to changes in the probability of the Company achieving pre-established performance metrics. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, total stock-based compensation cost recognized was approximately $3,400. As of March 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, restricted stock units, and performance-based restricted stock units was approximately $15,400, to be recognized over the remaining vesting periods of these awards.

Derivative Instruments [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments

7. Derivative Instruments

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are interest rate risk and commodity price risk. Interest rate swap arrangements are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's variable-rate borrowings. The Company also enters into put and call option contracts based on the wholesale price of gasoline and retail price of diesel fuel, which settle on a monthly basis, related to the Company's commodity price risk. These put and call option contracts, or fuel price derivative instruments, are designed to reduce the volatility of the Company's cash flows associated with its fuel price-related earnings exposure in North America.

Accounting guidance requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company designates interest rate swap arrangements as cash flow hedges of the forecasted interest payments on a portion of its variable-rate credit agreement. The Company's fuel price derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under current guidance, and therefore, no such hedging designation has been made. Because the derivatives are either accounting or economic hedges of operational exposures, cash flows from the settlement of such contracts are included in "Cash flows from operating activities" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Cash Flow Hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in current earnings. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had no outstanding interest rate swap arrangements.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss on the derivative is recognized in current earnings. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had the following put and call option contracts which settle on a monthly basis:

	Aggregate Notional Amount (gallons)  (a)
Fuel price derivative instruments – unleaded fuel Option contracts settling April 2012 – September 2013		36,483
Fuel price derivative instruments – diesel Option contracts settling April 2012– September 2013		16,391
Total fuel price derivative instruments		52,874

(a) The settlement of the put and call option contracts is based upon the New York Mercantile Exchange's New York Harbor Reformulated Gasoline Blendstock for Oxygen Blending and the U.S. Department of Energy's weekly retail on-highway diesel fuel price for the month.

Fair Value [Abstract]

Fair Value

8. Fair Value

The Company holds mortgage-backed securities, fixed income and equity securities, derivatives and certain other financial instruments which 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. In determining the fair value of the Company's obligations, various factors are considered, including: closing exchange or over-the-counter market price quotations; 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.

The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value and the related hierarchy levels:

Available-for-sale securities and executive deferred compensation plan trust

When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine the fair value of available-for-sale securities; such items are classified in Level 1 of the fair-value hierarchy. These securities primarily consist of exchange-traded equity securities.

For mortgage-backed and asset-backed debt securities and bonds, the Company generally uses quoted prices for recent trading activity of assets with similar characteristics to the debt security or bond being valued. The securities and bonds priced using such methods are generally classified as Level 2.

Fuel price derivatives and interest rate swap arrangements

The majority of derivatives entered into by the Company are executed over the counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument. The principal technique used to value these instruments is a comparison of the spot price of the underlying instrument to its related futures curve adjusted for the Company's assumptions of volatility and present value, where appropriate. The fair values of derivative contracts reflect the expected cash the Company will pay or receive upon settlement of the respective contracts.

The key inputs depend upon the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying instrument and include interest rate yield curves, the spot price of the underlying instrument, volatility, and correlation. The item is placed in either Level 2 or Level 3 depending on the observability of the significant inputs to the model. Correlation and items with longer tenures are generally less observable.

Fuel price derivatives – diesel. The assumptions used in the valuation of the diesel fuel price derivatives use both observable and unobservable inputs. With respect to forward prices for diesel fuel, there is a lack of price transparency. Such unobservable inputs are significant to the diesel fuel derivative contact valuation methodology.

Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's diesel fuel price derivative instruments designated as Level 3 are as follows:

	Fair Value at March 31, 2012		Valuation Technique		Unobservable Input	Range $ per gallon
Fuel price derivatives – diesel	$	3,243		Option model	Future retail price of diesel fuel after March 31, 2012	$	3.72 – 3.81

Sensitivity To Changes In Significant Unobservable Inputs. As presented in the table above, the significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's diesel fuel price derivative instruments are the future retail price of diesel fuel from the second quarter of 2012 through the third quarter of 2013. Significant changes in these unobservable inputs in isolation would result in a significant change in the fair value measurement.

Contingent consideration

The Company classified its liability for contingent consideration related to its acquisition of rapid! PayCard within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy because the fair value was determined using significant unobservable inputs, which include the revenues of rapid! PayCard over a twelve month period ending on March 31, 2012. On March 31, 2012, the amount due was determined to be $8,486 and was paid on April 30, 2012.
