REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Trustees and Participants of
WEX Inc. Employee Savings Plan
South Portland, Maine
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of WEX Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The supplemental schedule of assets (held at end of year) as of December 31, 2014 has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan's financial statements. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental schedule reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental schedule. In forming our opinion on the supplemental schedule, we evaluated whether the supplemental schedule, including its form and content, are presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. In our opinion, such schedule is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the financial statements as a whole.

1. | DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN |
The following description of the WEX Inc. Employee Savings Plan (the “Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the Plan document for more information.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan which was established on February 23, 2005 and subsequently amended and restated effective December 31, 2014, by WEX Inc. (the “Company”) under the provisions of Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and includes a qualified cash or deferred arrangement. The portion of the Plan benefiting employees who have completed one year of service is intended to satisfy the safe harbor requirements of Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11) of the Code. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), as amended. The Plan Administrator is the 401(k) Committee as designated by the Company’s Board of Directors. Bank of America Merrill Lynch is the recordkeeper of the Plan and Bank of America N.A. is the trustee of the Plan.
During 2014, the Company acquired EB Holdings Corp ("Evolution1") which, as of the date of the acquisition, had its own employee savings plan, (the "Evolution1 Plan"). As of December 31, 2014, the Evolution1 Plan was merged with the Plan, and the Plan recorded a receivable for the amount of net assets available for benefits that it expected to receive from the Evolution1 Plan. Net assets available for benefits totaling $21,739,497 were received by the Plan on January 2, 2015, in a transfer from the Evolution1 Plan. The notes receivable from participants in the Evolution1 Plan, as of December 31, 2014, was $380,847, which is included in the Transfer from Evolution1 Plan on the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. On January 1, 2015, Evolution1 employees became eligible to participate in the Plan.
Eligibility
Each employee of the Company and its eligible subsidiaries who has attained the age of eighteen (18) is eligible to participate in the Plan.
Contributions
Each year, participants may contribute up to 75 percent of their pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Plan, subject to limitations stipulated by the Code. After one year of service, participants’ contributions to the Plan are matched by the Company, up to 6 percent of the participant’s eligible compensation subject to any legal restrictions. Participants who are at least 50 years of age may make an additional contribution, subject to limitations stipulated by the Code. Participants may also contribute amounts representing eligible rollover distributions from other types of eligible retirement plans.
Participant Accounts
An individual account is maintained for each Plan participant. Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution and allocations of Plan earnings, and charged with participant withdrawals and allocations of Plan losses. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in the Plan. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Investments
Participants direct the investment of their contributions and the Company matching contributions made on their behalf into various investment options offered by the Plan. As of December 31, 2014, the Plan offers several open-end mutual funds, the WEX Inc. Common Stock Fund and three common collective trust funds as investment options for participants.
One of the common collective trust funds, the Wells Fargo Stable Return Fund (the “Stable Value Fund”), is intended to guarantee a certain return to participants who choose it as an investment option. The Stable Value Fund has a variety of conditions that the Plan must adhere to in order to guarantee contract value. The following events may limit the ability of the Stable Value Fund to transact at contract value:
WEX Inc.
Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
| |
• | A failure of the Plan or its trust to qualify for exemption from federal income taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA. |
| |
• | Any communication given to Plan participants designed to influence a participant not to invest in the Stable Value Fund or to transfer assets out of the Stable Value Fund. |
| |
• | Any transfer of assets from the Stable Value Fund directly into a competing investment option. |
| |
• | The establishment of a defined contribution plan that competes with the Plan for employee contributions. |
| |
• | Complete or partial termination of the Plan or its merger with another plan. |
Plan management believes (1) that the December 31, 2014, merger of the Evolution1 Plan into the Plan did not cause the Stable Value Fund to transact at less than contract value, and (2) that the occurrence of other events that would cause the Stable Value Fund to transact at less than contract value is not probable.
The Stable Value Fund invests in assets, which are typically fixed income securities or bond funds, and enters into “wrapper” contracts issued by third parties. A wrapper contract is an agreement by another party, such as a bank or insurance company, to make payments to the Stable Value Fund in certain circumstances in order to maintain the contract value of the fund. The performance of the other party is not guaranteed, but it is dependent on the absence of certain events occurring.
Vesting
Participants have full and immediate vesting rights in their contributions and Company matching contributions, investment earnings and other amounts allocated to their accounts at all times.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Participants may borrow against their Plan accounts up to a maximum of $50,000 or 50 percent of their account balances, whichever is less. The term of the loan may not exceed five years, unless for the purchase of a principal residence, in which case the term of the loan may not exceed fifteen years. The interest rate for a loan requested in any month will be equal to the prime rate as listed on the last business day of the preceding month in the Wall Street Journal plus 1 percent. Principal and interest are paid ratably through payroll deductions. If a participant’s employment terminates for any reason, the loan will become immediately due and payable and must be paid by the end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the date of termination occurs. The interest rates on loans outstanding at December 31, 2014, range from 4.25 percent to 6.00 percent.
Benefit Payments
Participants are eligible to receive benefit payments upon termination, retirement or death equal to the vested balance of the participant’s account. If the participant’s fund balance is at least $5,000, the participant may elect either, to (i) receive a lump sum distribution of the participant’s account balance; (ii) receive payment in installments over a period permissible under the Code; or (iii) leave the funds in the Plan for later distribution. Distributions from all investment options are made in cash. Participants may elect that distribution of any portion of their account which is invested in the WEX Inc. Common Stock Fund be made, in whole or in part, in whole shares of common stock of the Company.
The Plan also provides for in-service withdrawals for active employees under certain circumstances. In addition, hardship withdrawals are permitted in accordance with IRS Code regulations.

2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of Accounting
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and changes therein and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
WEX Inc.
Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan holds various investment securities, including mutual funds, common stock and common collective trusts. Investment securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term and those changes could materially affect the amounts reported in the financial statements.
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
The Plan’s investments are stated at fair value. The Stable Value Fund is stated at fair value and then adjusted to contract value as described below. Fair value of the Stable Value Fund is the reported net asset value per share as a practical expedient, and contract value is principal plus accrued interest (see Note 3).
Participants may ordinarily direct the withdrawal or transfer of all or a portion of their investment at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made to the fund, plus credited earnings, less participant withdrawals.
In accordance with GAAP, the Stable Value Fund is included at fair value in participant-directed investments in the statements of net assets available for benefits and an additional line item is presented representing the adjustment from fair value to contract value. The statement of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented on a contract value basis.
The Stable Value Fund also imposes certain restrictions on the Plan, and the Stable Value Fund itself may be subject to circumstances that impact its ability to transact at contract value, as described above. The Stable Value Fund invests principally in investment contracts, including traditional guaranteed investment contracts and security-backed contracts issued by insurance companies and other financial institutions.
Purchases and sales of investments are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest income is recorded on an accrual basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net appreciation includes the Plan's gain and losses on investments bought and sold as well as held during the year.
Management fees and operating expenses related to investments in the mutual funds and common collective trust funds are charged directly to the mutual funds and common collective trust and deducted from income earned on a daily basis by such investments and are not separately reported in the accompanying financial statements.
Notes Receivable from Participants
Notes receivable from participants are measured at their unpaid principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest. Delinquent participant loans are recorded as distributions based on the terms of the Plan document. There were no significant distributions in the current year.
Payment of Benefits
Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution. There were no amounts allocated to accounts of persons who have elected to withdraw from the Plan, but have not yet been paid at December 31, 2014, and 2013.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-07, Disclosures for Investments in Certain Entities That Calculate Net Asset Value per Share, which removes the requirement to include investments in the fair value hierarchy for which fair value is measured using the net asset value per share practical expedient. The standards update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. Retrospective application is required upon adoption. Management is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this new accounting standards update on the Plan's financial statements.
WEX Inc.
Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
The Plan classifies its investments into Level 1, which refers to securities valued using quoted prices from active markets for identical assets; Level 2, which refers to securities not traded on an active market but for which other observable market inputs are readily available; and Level 3, which refers to securities valued based on significant unobservable inputs. Assets are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables set forth by level within the fair value hierarchy a summary of the Plan’s investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Although the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date.

Notes to Financial Statements
Transfers Between Levels - The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classification of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.
For the years ended, December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were no transfers between levels.
The following tables summarize the Plan’s investments reported at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient at December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2014, and 2013.
Common Stocks — Valued at the closing price reported on the principal market on which the individual securities are traded.
Mutual Funds — Valued at the daily closing price as reported by the fund. Mutual funds held by the Plan are open-ended mutual funds that are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These funds are required to publish their daily net asset value and to transact at that price. The mutual funds held by the Plan are deemed to be actively traded.
Stable Value Fund — Valued at the net asset value of units of a bank collective trust. The net asset value as provided by the trustee is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities.
WEX Inc.
Employee Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
Collective Trust Fund — Valued at the net asset value of units of a bank collective trust. The net asset value as provided by the trustee is used as a practical expedient to estimate fair value. The net asset value is based on the fair value of the underlying investments held by the fund less its liabilities. This practical expedient is not used when it is determined to be probable that the fund will sell the investment for an amount different than the reported net asset value. Participant transactions (purchases and sales) may occur daily. Should the Plan initiate a full redemption of the collective trust, the investment advisor reserves the right to temporarily delay withdrawal from the trust in order to ensure that securities liquidations will be carried out in an orderly business manner.
The following presents investments that represent 5 percent or more of the Plan’s net assets available for benefits at December 31, 2014 and 2013:
