ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 11, 2012--
FleetCor Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FLT), a global leader in providing
fuel card and workforce payment products to businesses, today announced
that it successfully completed its previously announced acquisition of
CTF Technologies, Inc. (“CTF”) for $180 million.
CTF provides fuel payment processing services for over-the-road fleets,
ships, mining equipment, and railroads in Brazil. CTF’s payment platform
links together fleet operators, two of the largest Brazilian banks,
Bradesco and Itau, and the two largest Brazilian oil companies,
Petrobras and Ipiranga. CTF earns revenue primarily from a recurring
transaction fee paid by the oil companies who purchase the CTF system
for their fleet customers under multi-year customer contracts. More than
3 billion liters of fuel were processed through the CTF system in Brazil
in 2011.
“We are pleased to announce the successful completion of our acquisition
of CTF, which is consistent with our global acquisition strategy of
identifying attractive assets with performance upside. We look forward
to implementing our performance improvement strategies,” said Ron
