Supplemental Schedule of Noncash Investing and Financing Activities:
Cash dividends declared, but not yet paid, were $2.7 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, and were paid in October 2013 and 2012, respectively.
As of September 30, 2013, we had accrued capital expenditures totaling $2.8 million, which were recorded in accounts payable.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we granted equity awards to certain employees of which $2.7 million was previously recorded in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
In connection with our acquisitions for the periods presented, the following table presents the assets acquired, net of cash and liabilities assumed:

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Except as updated below, the significant accounting policies we use for quarterly financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2012 10-K Report.
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes include the accounts of our wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures where we exercise operational control or have a primary benefit of its profits. All significant intercompany accounts, transactions and profits are eliminated upon consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current periods presentation.
Goodwill
During the first nine months of 2013, we recorded goodwill of $9.6 million in our land segment in connection with two acquisitions completed during the period, which were not material individually or in the aggregate. In addition, based on our ongoing fair value assessment of certain of our 2012 acquisitions, we recorded a $2.0 million reduction in goodwill within our land segment principally due to a $3.3 million increase in identifiable intangible assets, partially offset by a $0.9 million decrease in other acquired assets and a $0.4 million increase in assumed liabilities. Additionally, we reclassified $6.5 million in goodwill from our land segment to our aviation segment. We had additional goodwill reductions of $0.5 million and $0.3 million as a result of foreign currency translation adjustments of our non-U.S. dollar functional currency subsidiaries in our marine and aviation segments, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an accounting standards update (ASU) on the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward exists. Under this guidance, an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are currently evaluating whether the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. In July 2013, the FASB issued an ASU which includes amendments permitting the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate to be used as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to U.S. Government and London Interbank Offered Rate. The amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark rates for similar hedges. This update is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Foreign Currency Matters Parents Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Foreign Subsidiaries. In March 2013, the FASB issued an ASU aimed at resolving the diversity in practice of accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofit activity or a business within a foreign entity. In addition, the amendments in this ASU resolve the diversity in practice for the treatment of business combinations achieved in stages (sometimes also referred to as step acquisitions) involving a foreign entity. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Disclosure Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements. In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU clarifying the guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013 and will be applied retrospectively. We do not believe the adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Disclosure Relating to Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. In February 2013, the FASB issued an ASU amending the information that companies will be required to present relating to reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The amendments require presentation, either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes, of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and by net income line item. This update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of this ASU resulted in additional derivative disclosures included in Note 2 - Derivatives and did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Disclosure About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. In December 2011, the FASB issued an ASU which requires companies to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. Companies will be required to provide both net (offset amounts) and gross information in the notes to the financial statements for relevant assets and liabilities that are offset. In January 2013, the FASB issued an ASU clarifying that the requirement to disclose information about financial instruments that have been offset and related arrangements applies only to derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and lending transactions that are either offset in accordance with specific criteria contained in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. This update became effective at the beginning of our 2013 fiscal year. The adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Six Months ended June 30, 2013
We identified an incorrect cash flow presentation of $17.7 million related to an acquisition payment that was classified as an operating activity versus an investing activity in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013. We assessed the materiality of this incorrect presentation and concluded it was not material. As prior period financial information is presented in future SEC filings, we will modify the presentation of the consolidated statement of cash flows to include this revision.
2. Derivatives
We enter into financial derivative contracts in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel, to offer our customers fuel pricing alternatives to meet their needs and to mitigate the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. We also enter into proprietary derivative transactions, primarily intended to capitalize on arbitrage opportunities related to basis or time spreads related to fuel products we sell. We have applied the normal purchase and normal sales exception (NPNS), as provided by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, to certain of our physical forward sales and purchase contracts. While these contracts are considered derivative instruments under the guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities, they are not recorded at fair value, but rather are recorded in our consolidated financial statements when physical settlement of the contracts occurs. If it is determined that a transaction designated as NPNS no longer meets the scope of the exception, the fair value of the related contract is recorded as an asset or liability on the consolidated balance sheet and the difference between the fair value and the contract amount is immediately recognized through earnings.
The following describes our derivative classifications:
Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.
Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps or futures as well as certain fixed price purchase and sale contracts and proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.
As of September 30, 2013, our derivative instruments, at their respective fair value positions were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average fixed price and weighted average mark-to-market amount):

In the event forecasted cash outflows are less than the hedged amounts, a portion or all of the gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income are reclassified to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. As of September 30, 2013, the maximum amount that could be reclassified to the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the next twelve months is not significant.

We enter into derivative instrument contracts which may require us to periodically post collateral. Certain of these derivative contracts contain clauses that are similar to credit-risk-related contingent features, including material adverse change, general adequate assurance and internal credit review clauses that may require additional collateral to be posted and/or settlement of the instruments in the event an aforementioned clause is triggered. The triggering events are not a quantifiable measure; rather they are based on good faith and reasonable determination by the counterparty that the triggers have occurred. The net liability position for such contracts, the collateral posted and the amount of assets required to be posted and/or to settle the positions should a contingent feature be triggered is not significant as of September 30, 2013.

5. Debt
On October 10, 2013, we amended our senior revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) to, among other things, increase the maximum availability under the Credit Facility from $800.0 million to $1.1 billion, increase the sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers acceptances from $300.0 million to $400.0 million and extend the maturity date to October 2018. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. Additionally, we extended the maturity of our existing $242.5 million senior term loans (Term Loans) to October 2018.

Our provision for income taxes for each of the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 were calculated based on the estimated annual effective income tax rate for the full 2013 and 2012 fiscal years. The provision for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes an adjustment for an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for a discrete item related to a lapse in the statute of limitations. The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 includes an adjustment for an income tax benefit of $3.3 million for a discrete item related to a change in estimate in an uncertain income tax position. The actual effective income tax rate for the full 2013 fiscal year may be materially different as a result of differences between estimated versus actual results and the geographic tax jurisdictions in which the results are earned.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Lac-Mégantic, Quebec
We, on behalf of DPTS Marketing LLC (DPM), a crude oil marketing joint venture in which we own a 50% membership interest, purchased crude oil from various producers in the Bakken region of North Dakota. Dakota Petroleum Transport Solutions, LLC (DPTS), a crude oil transloading joint venture in which we also own a 50% membership interest, arranged for the transloading of the crude oil for DPM into tank cars at the joint ventures facility in New Town, North Dakota. We leased the tank cars used in the transloading from a number of third party lessors and subleased these tank cars to DPM. We, on behalf of DPM, contracted with Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) for the transportation of the tank cars and the crude oil from New Town, North Dakota to a customer in New Brunswick, Canada. CPR subcontracted a portion of that route to Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway (MMA). On July 6, 2013, the freight train operated by MMA with 72 tank cars carrying approximately 50,000 barrels of the crude oil derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. The derailment resulted in significant loss of life, damage to the environment from spilled crude oil and extensive property damage.
In July and August 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of third parties, including MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in twenty complaints filed in Illinois. The complaints generally allege wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil and seek economic and compensatory damages, as well as costs. In addition, in July and August 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries, along with a number of other third parties, including CPR, MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in a motion filed in Quebec Superior Court to authorize the bringing of a class-action lawsuit seeking economic, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs. The motion generally alleges wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil.
Furthermore, in July 2013, an order was issued by the government of Quebec against MMA and us, which was modified in August 2013 to add CPR as a party, requiring MMA, CPR and us to recover the spilled crude oil caused by the incident and to otherwise fully remediate the impact of the incident on the environment. We have filed a contestation of the order and the modified order before the Tribunal administratif du Québec, an administrative body responsible for hearing such proceedings, challenging the legality and validity of the orders on various grounds.
In addition to these proceedings, we have received demands for indemnification from certain tank car lessors pursuant to our lease agreements with such parties. We are currently assessing the merits of these demands as well as of the underlying claims for which such indemnification is sought. Additional claims, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations and orders may be filed, commenced or issued with respect to the incident, which may involve civil claims for damages or governmental investigative, regulatory or enforcement actions against us.
While we and our joint ventures, DPM and DPTS, maintain insurance to mitigate the costs of environmental releases as well as other results of unexpected events, including loss of life, property damage and defense costs, there can be no guarantee that our insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities that may be incurred as a result of this incident.
We are separately evaluating potential claims that we, DPM or DPTS may assert against third parties to recover costs and other liabilities that may be incurred as a result of this incident. We can provide no guarantee that any such claims, if brought by us, will be successful or, if successful, that the responsible parties will have the financial resources to address any such claims.
We are currently unable to determine the probability of loss, or reasonably estimate a range of potential losses related to the above proceedings. Accordingly, we have not made any provision for these potential losses in our consolidated financial statements.
As of September 30, 2013, we have recorded liabilities of $14.2 million in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets based on estimated losses related to the value of the tank cars involved in the incident, as well as legal costs incurred in connection with the incident, which we believe are probable and for which a reasonable estimate can be made. We believe that a substantial portion of this liability is covered by insurance and have recognized a receivable of $13.4 million, recorded in other current assets, in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Cathay Pacific Litigation
Since April 2012, one of our subsidiaries, World Fuel Services (Singapore) Pte Ltd. (WFSS) has been involved in litigation with Cathay Pacific Airways Limited (Cathay) arising out of the emergency landing of a Cathay aircraft in Hong Kong in 2010, which Cathay alleges was caused by contaminated fuel supplied by WFSS. Cathay claims damages relating to the incident of approximately $34.0 million. As of September 30, 2013, we have recorded a current liability for the estimated loss with an offsetting receivable from insurance in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, which amounts were not significant.
Other Matters
We are a party to various claims, complaints and proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business including, but not limited to, environmental claims, commercial and governmental contract claims, such as property damage, demurrage, billing and fuel quality claims, as well as bankruptcy preference claims. We have established loss provisions for these ordinary course claims as well as other matters in which losses are probable and can be reasonably estimated. As of September 30, 2013, we had recorded certain reserves which were not significant. For those matters where a reserve has not been established and for which we believe a loss is reasonably possible, as well as for matters where a reserve has been recorded but for which an exposure to loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, we believe that such losses will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements. However, any adverse resolution of one or more such claims, complaints or proceedings during a particular period could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or cash flow for that period.
Our estimates regarding potential losses and materiality are based on our judgment and assessment of the claims utilizing currently available information. Although we will continue to reassess our reserves and estimates based on future developments, our objective assessment of the legal merits of such claims may not always be predictive of the outcome and actual results may vary from our current estimates.
Other Contingencies
On June 7, 2013, STX Pan OceanCo. Ltd (STX Pan Ocean), one of our customers in our marine segment, filed for bankruptcy protection in Korea which was subsequently recognized in the United States on July 12, 2013. On August 22, 2013, we agreed with STX Pan Ocean and its parent company, STX Corporation (STX Corp) to allow the assignment of all of the outstanding receivables owing from STX Corp to STX Pan Ocean. Concurrently, we entered into a settlement agreement with STX Pan Ocean whereby it agreed to repay the outstanding balance of $20.8 million through a lump sum payment of $3.2 million, with the remaining balance to be paid over the next year.
9. Fair Value Measurements
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the short-term maturities of these instruments. We believe the carrying values of our debt and notes receivable approximate fair value since these instruments bear interest either at variable rates or fixed rates which are not significantly different than market rates. Based on the fair value hierarchy, our debt of $458.6 million and $380.3 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and our notes receivable of $9.5 million and $12.7 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, are categorized in Level 3.

For our derivative contracts, we may enter into master netting, collateral and offset agreements with counterparties. These agreements provide us the ability to offset a counterpartys rights and obligations, request additional collateral when necessary or liquidate the collateral in the event of counterparty default. We net fair value of cash collateral paid or received against fair value amounts recognized for net derivative positions executed with the same counterparty under the same master netting or offset agreement.
As of September 30, 2013, we had $3.1 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of September 30, 2013, we have offset $0.3 million of cash collateral received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table. As of December 31, 2012, we had $22.9 million of cash collateral deposits held by financial counterparties included in other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, as of December 31, 2012, we had offset $6.6 million of cash collateral received from customers against the total amount of commodity fair value assets in the above table.

10. Business Segments
Based on the nature of operations and quantitative thresholds pursuant to accounting guidance for segment reporting, we have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. Our results of operations include (i) the results of the acquisition of certain assets of CarterEnergy Corporation in our land segment commencing on September 1, 2012, its acquisition date, and (ii) the results of the acquisition of certain assets of Multi Service Corporation, primarily in our land segment, commencing on December 31, 2012, its acquisition date. The accounting policies of the reportable operating segments are the same as those described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (see Note 1).
Information concerning our revenue, gross profit and income from operations by segment is as follows (in thousands):

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our 2012 10-K Report and the consolidated financial statements and related notes in Item 1 - Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this 10-Q Report. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements, and our actual results may differ significantly from the results suggested by these forward-looking statements. Some factors that may cause our results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements are described in Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2012 10-K Report and Part II of this 10-Q Report.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this report and the information incorporated by reference in it, or made by us in other reports, filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), press releases, teleconferences, industry conferences or otherwise, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast, indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words believe, anticipate, expect, estimate, project, could, would, will, will be, will continue, will likely result, plan, or words or phrases of similar meaning.
Forward-looking statements are estimates and projections reflecting our best judgment and involve risks, uncertainties or other factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control. The Companys actual results may differ materially from the future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements are based on our managements expectations, beliefs and assumptions concerning future events affecting us, which in turn are based on currently available information.
Examples of forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding our business strategy, business prospects, operating results, ability to collect outstanding accounts receivable, potential liabilities and the extent of any insurance coverage, the impact of litigation and other proceedings, effectiveness of internal controls to manage risk, working capital, liquidity, capital expenditure requirements and future acquisitions. Important assumptions relating to the forward-looking statements include, among others, assumptions regarding demand for our products, the cost, terms and availability of fuel from suppliers, pricing levels, the timing and cost of capital expenditures, outcome of pending litigation and other proceedings, competitive conditions, general economic conditions and synergies relating to acquisitions, joint ventures and alliances. These assumptions could prove inaccurate. Although we believe that the estimates and projections reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, our expectations may prove to be incorrect.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results and events anticipated or implied by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
· customer and counterparty creditworthiness and our ability to collect accounts receivable and settle derivative contracts;
· changes in the market price of fuel;
· changes in the political, economic or regulatory conditions generally and in the markets in which we operate;
· our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks and the use of derivatives;
· non-performance by counterparties or customers to derivative contracts;
· changes in credit terms extended to us from our suppliers;
· non-performance of suppliers on their sale commitments and customers on their purchase commitments;
· loss of, or reduced sales to a significant government customer;
· non-performance of third-party service providers;
· adverse conditions in the industries in which our customers operate, including a continuation of the global recession and its impact on the airline and shipping industries;
· currency exchange fluctuations;
· failure of the fuel we sell to meet specifications;
· our ability to manage growth;
· our ability to integrate acquired businesses;
· material disruptions in the availability or supply of fuel;
· environmental and other risks associated with the storage, transportation and delivery of petroleum products;
· the impact of the Lac-Mégantic derailment and related matters;
· risks associated with operating in high risk locations, such as Iraq and Afghanistan;
· uninsured losses;
· the impact of natural disasters, such as hurricanes;
· our failure to comply with restrictions and covenants in our senior revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) and our senior term loans (Term Loans);
· the liquidity and solvency of banks within our Credit Facility and Term Loans;
· increases in interest rates;
· declines in the value and liquidity of cash equivalents and investments;
· our ability to retain and attract senior management and other key employees;
· changes in U.S. or foreign tax laws or changes in the mix of taxable income among different tax jurisdictions;
· our ability to comply with U.S. and international laws and regulations including those related to anti-corruption, economic sanction programs and environmental matters;
· increased levels of competition;
· the outcome of litigation and the costs associated in defending any actions; and
· other risks, including those described in Item 1A - Risk Factors in our 2012 10-K Report and Part II of this 10-Q Report, as well as those described from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.
We operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all of those risks, nor can we assess the impact of all of those risks on our business or the extent to which any factor may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. The forward-looking statements in this 10-Q Report are based on assumptions management believes are reasonable. However, due to the uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and unless required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update any of them in light of new information, future events, or otherwise.

We are a leading global fuel logistics company, principally engaged in the marketing, sale and distribution of aviation, marine, and land fuel products and related services on a worldwide basis. We compete by providing our customers with value-added benefits, including single-supplier convenience, competitive pricing, the availability of trade credit, price risk management, logistical support, fuel quality control and fuel procurement outsourcing. We have three reportable operating business segments: aviation, marine, and land. We primarily contract with third parties for the delivery and storage of fuel products, however, in some cases we own storage and transportation assets for strategic purposes. Additionally, we offer transaction management services which consist of card payment solutions and merchant processing services to customers in the aviation, marine and land transportation industries. In our aviation segment, we offer fuel and related services to major commercial airlines, second and third-tier airlines, cargo carriers, regional and low cost carriers, airports, fixed based operators, corporate fleets, fractional operators, private aircraft, military fleets and to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our marine segment, we offer fuel and related services to a broad base of marine customers, including international container and tanker fleets, commercial cruise lines, yachts and time-charter operators, as well as to the U.S. and foreign governments. In our land segment, we offer fuel and related services to petroleum distributors operating in the land transportation market, retail petroleum operators, and industrial, commercial and government customers and we engage in crude oil marketing activities.
In our aviation and land segments, we primarily purchase and resell fuel, and we do not act as brokers. Profit from our aviation and land segments is primarily determined by the volume and the gross profit achieved on fuel resales and a percentage of card payment and processing revenue. In our marine segment, we primarily purchase and resell fuel and also act as brokers for others. Profit from our marine segment is determined primarily by the volume and gross profit achieved on fuel resales and by the volume and commission rate of the brokering business. Our profitability in our segments also depends on our operating expenses, which may be significantly affected to the extent that we are required to provide for potential bad debt.
Our revenue and cost of revenue are significantly impacted by world oil prices, as evidenced in part by our revenue and cost of revenue fluctuations in recent fiscal years, while our gross profit is not necessarily impacted by changes in world oil prices. However, significant movements in fuel prices during any given financial period can have a significant impact on our gross profit, either positively or negatively depending on the direction, volatility and timing of such price movements.
We may experience decreases in future sales volumes and margins as a result of the ongoing deterioration in the world economy, the decline of the transportation industry, natural disasters and continued conflicts and instability in the Middle East, Asia and Latin America, as well as potential future terrorist activities and possible military retaliation. In addition, because fuel costs represent a significant part of our customers operating expenses, volatile and/or high fuel prices can adversely affect our customers businesses, and, consequently, the demand for our services and our results of operations. Our hedging activities may not be effective to mitigate volatile fuel prices and may expose us to counterparty risk. See Item 1A Risk Factors of our 2012 10-K Report and Part II of this 10-Q Report.
Reportable Segments
We have three reportable operating segments: aviation, marine and land. Corporate expenses are allocated to each segment based on usage, where possible, or on other factors according to the nature of the activity. We evaluate and manage our business segments using the performance measurement of income from operations. Financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements included in this 10-Q Report.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations include (i) the results of the acquisition of certain assets of CarterEnergy Corporation in our land segment commencing on September 1, 2012, its acquisition date, and (ii) the results of the acquisition of certain assets of Multi Service Corporation, primarily in our land segment, commencing on December 31, 2012, its acquisition date.

Our aviation segment revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $4.2 billion, an increase of $0.4 billion, or 9.3%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The increase in aviation segment revenue was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers.
Our marine segment revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $3.6 billion, a decrease of $0.1 billion, or 1.5%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in marine segment revenue was principally due to decreased volume in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Our land segment revenue for the third quarter of 2013 was $2.7 billion, an increase of $0.3 billion, or 11.4%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The increase in land segment revenue was principally due to revenue from acquired businesses.

Our aviation segment gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $89.8 million, an increase of $5.6 million, or 6.6%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. Of the increase in aviation segment gross profit, $8.2 million was due to increased volume attributable to new and existing customers and $2.5 million was due to gross profit from acquired businesses. These increases were partially offset by $5.1 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold principally due to fluctuations in customer mix.
Our marine segment gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $40.2 million, a decrease of $13.7 million, or 25.5%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. Of the decrease in marine segment gross profit, $11.8 million was due to decreased gross profit per metric ton sold principally due to limited price volatility during the third quarter of 2013 and fluctuations in customer mix. The remaining $1.9 million was due to decreased sales volume.
Our land segment gross profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $56.4 million, an increase of $13.8 million, or 32.3%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. Of the increase in land segment gross profit, $19.1 million was due to gross profit from acquired businesses, which was partially offset by $5.3 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold principally driven by lower margins in our crude oil marketing activities.
Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses for the third quarter of 2013 were $122.1 million, an increase of $12.4 million, or 11.3%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The following table sets forth our expense categories (in thousands):

Our aviation segment income from operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $41.0 million, an increase of $1.2 million, or 3.0%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. This increase resulted from $5.6 million in higher gross profit, which was partially offset by increased operating expenses of $4.4 million.
Our marine segment income from operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $17.0 million, a decrease of $10.3 million, or 37.7%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. This decrease resulted from $13.7 million in lower gross profit, which was partially offset by decreased operating expenses of $3.4 million.
Our land segment income from operations for the third quarter of 2013 was $15.1 million, a decrease of $3.1 million, or 16.9%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. This decrease resulted from increased operating expenses of $16.9 million principally related to the inclusion of acquired businesses and $5.3 million in lower gross profit per gallon sold principally driven by lower margins in our crude oil marketing activities. The aggregate decrease of $22.2 million was partially offset by $19.1 million in gross profit from acquired businesses.
Corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments for the third quarter of 2013 were $8.9 million, a decrease of $5.3 million, or 37.3%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in corporate overhead costs not charged to the business segments was attributable to decreases in compensation and employee benefits, principally incentive based compensation and in general and administrative expenses, principally professional fees.
Non-Operating Expenses, net. For the third quarter of 2013, we had non-operating expenses, net of $5.7 million, an increase of $2.2 million, or 64.8%, as compared to the third quarter of 2012. This increase was principally due to a $1.5 million increase in interest expense and other financing costs, net, as a result of higher average borrowings in the third quarter of 2013 as compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Income Taxes. For the third quarter of 2013, our effective income tax rate was 14.0% and our income tax provision was $8.2 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 21.7% and an income tax provision of $14.7 million for the third quarter of 2012. The effective income tax rate for the third quarter of 2013 was reduced from 16.4% to 14.0% due to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for a discrete item resulting from a lapse in the statute of limitations. The lower effective income tax rate is also attributable to differences in the results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different income tax rates as compared to the third quarter of 2012.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. For the third quarter of 2013, net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest was $1.2 million as compared to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $1.4 million for the third quarter of 2012.
Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our net income for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $51.5 million. Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $0.72 per common share.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $57.9 million. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012 was $0.81 per common share.

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Companys core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets is useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period-over-period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per common share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

For the first nine months of 2013, our effective income tax rate was 17.3% and our income tax provision was $32.1 million, as compared to an effective income tax rate of 17.5% and an income tax provision of $33.2 million for the first nine months of 2012. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2013 was reduced from 18.0% to 17.3% due to an income tax benefit of $1.4 million for a discrete item resulting from a lapse in the statute of limitations. The effective income tax rate for the first nine months of 2012 was reduced from 19.3% to 17.5% due to an income tax benefit of $3.3 million for a discrete item related to a change in estimate in an uncertain income tax position. The lower effective income tax rate is also attributable to differences in the results of our subsidiaries in tax jurisdictions with different income tax rates as compared to the first nine months of 2012.
Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest. For the first nine months of 2013, net income attributable to noncontrolling interest was $2.6 million, a decrease of $7.3 million, or 74.0%, as compared to the first nine months of 2012. The decrease was principally due to the results of our crude oil marketing joint venture.
Net Income and Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our net income for the first nine months of 2013 was $151.2 million, an increase of $4.7 million, or 3.2%, as compared to the first nine months of 2012. Diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2013 was $2.10 per common share, an increase of $0.06 per common share, or 2.9%, as compared to the first nine months of 2012.
Non-GAAP Net Income and Non-GAAP Diluted Earnings per Common Share. Our non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2013 was $170.4 million, an increase of $6.8 million, or 4.2 %, as compared to the first nine months of 2012. Non-GAAP diluted earnings per common share for the first nine months of 2013 was $2.37 per common share, an increase of $0.09 per common share, or 3.9%, as compared to the first nine months of 2012. The following table sets forth the reconciliation between our net income and non-GAAP net income for the first nine months of 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

The non-GAAP financial measures exclude costs associated with share-based compensation and amortization of acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of the Companys core operating results. We believe the exclusion of share-based compensation from operating expenses is useful given the variation in expense that can result from changes in the fair value of our common stock, the effect of which is unrelated to the operational conditions that give rise to variations in the components of our operating costs. Also, we believe the exclusion of the amortization of acquired intangible assets is useful for purposes of evaluating operating performance of our core operating results and comparing them period-over-period. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating the ongoing financial performance of the Company and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP earnings per common share may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Operating Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by operating activities was $213.7 million as compared to $48.3 million for the first nine months of 2012. The $165.4 million increase in operating cash flows was principally due to favorable year-over-year changes in working capital items.
Investing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash used in investing activities was $91.2 million as compared to $90.5 million for the first nine months of 2012. The $0.7 million increase in cash used in investing activities was principally due to a $31.6 million increase in capital expenditures for fuel transportation equipment and the upgrade and expansion of one of our inventory storage facilities during the first nine months of 2013, which was partially offset by a $30.9 million reduction in cash used for the acquisition of businesses in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012.
Financing Activities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, net cash provided by financing activities was $38.7 million as compared to net cash used in financing activities of $25.5 million for the first nine months of 2012. The $64.2 million increase in cash provided by financing activities was principally due to net borrowings of $89.5 million under our Credit Facility in the first nine months of 2013 as compared to the first nine months of 2012, partially offset by purchases of common stock of $20.0 million.
Other Liquidity Measures
Cash and Cash Equivalents. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $333.2 million and $172.7 million, respectively, of which $164.6 million and $172.7 million, respectively, was available for use by our U.S. subsidiaries without incurring additional costs. Our primary uses of cash and cash equivalents are to fund accounts receivable, purchase inventory and make strategic investments, primarily acquisitions. We are usually extended unsecured trade credit from our suppliers for our fuel purchases; however, certain suppliers require us to either prepay or provide a letter of credit. Increases in oil prices can negatively affect liquidity by increasing the amount of cash needed to fund fuel purchases as well as reducing the amount of fuel which we can purchase on an unsecured basis from our suppliers.
Credit Facility and Term Loans. We have a senior revolving credit facility (Credit Facility) which permits borrowings of up to $800.0 million with a sublimit of $300.0 million for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers acceptances. Under the Credit Facility, we have the right to request increases in available borrowings up to an additional $150.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. On October 10, 2013, we amended our Credit Facility to, among other things, increase the maximum availability under the Credit Facility to $1.1 billion, increase the sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit and bankers acceptances to $400.0 million and extend the maturity date to October 2018. Additionally, we extended the maturity of our existing senior term loans (Term Loans) to October 2018. We had outstanding borrowings under our Credit Facility totaling $190.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and $100.5 million as of December 31, 2012. Our issued letters of credit under the Credit Facility totaled $18.6 million and $47.4 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. We also had $242.5 million and $247.5 million in Term Loans outstanding as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.
Our liquidity consisting of cash and cash equivalents and availability under the Credit Facility fluctuates based on a number of factors, including the timing of receipts from our customers and payments to our suppliers as well as commodity prices. Our Credit Facility and our Term Loans contain certain financial covenants with which we are required to comply. Our failure to comply with the financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans could result in an event of default. An event of default, if not cured or waived, would permit acceleration of any outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Facility and our Term Loans, trigger cross-defaults under other agreements to which we are a party and impair our ability to borrow and issue letters of credit, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all financial covenants contained in our Credit Facility and our Term Loans.
Other Credit Lines. Additionally, we have other uncommitted credit lines aggregating $221.3 million primarily for the issuance of letters of credit, bank guarantees and bankers acceptances. These credit lines are renewable on an annual basis and are subject to fees at market rates. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our outstanding letters of credit and bank guarantees under these credit lines totaled $160.4 million and $184.2 million, respectively. We also have Receivables Purchase Agreements (RPAs) to allow for the sale of up to $225.0 million of our accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2013, we had sold accounts receivable of $116.0 million and recorded a retained beneficial interest of $4.2 million under the RPAs.
Short-Term Debt. As of September 30, 2013, our short-term debt of $28.6 million represents the current maturities (within the next twelve months) of certain promissory notes related to acquisitions, Term Loan borrowings and capital lease obligations.
We believe that available funds from existing cash and cash equivalents and our Credit Facility, together with cash flows generated by operations, remain sufficient to fund our working capital and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next twelve months. In addition, to further enhance our liquidity profile, we may choose to raise additional funds which may or may not be needed for additional working capital, capital expenditures or other strategic investments. Our opinions concerning liquidity are based on currently available information. To the extent this information proves to be inaccurate, or if circumstances change, future availability of trade credit or other sources of financing may be reduced and our liquidity would be adversely affected. Factors that may affect the availability of trade credit or other forms of financing include our financial performance (as measured by various factors, including cash provided from operating activities), the state of worldwide credit markets, and our levels of outstanding debt. Depending on the severity and direct impact of these factors on us, financing may be limited or unavailable on terms favorable to us.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Except for changes in the contractual obligations and off-balance sheet arrangements described below, there were no other material changes from December 31, 2012 to September 30, 2013. For a discussion of these matters, refer to Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements in Item 7 of our 2012 10-K Report.
Contractual Obligations
Derivative Obligations. As of September 30, 2013, our net derivative obligations were $22.6 million, principally due within one year.
Purchase Commitment Obligations. As of September 30, 2013, our purchase commitment obligations were $19.3 million, principally due within one year.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees. In the normal course of business, we are required to provide letters of credit to certain suppliers. A majority of these letters of credit expire within one year from their issuance, and expired letters of credit are renewed as needed. As of September 30, 2013, we had issued letters of credit and bank guarantees totaling $179.0 million under our Credit Facility and other uncommitted credit lines. For additional information on our Credit Facility and other credit lines, see the discussion in Liquidity and Capital Resources above.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Derivatives
The following describes our derivative classifications:
Cash Flow Hedges. Includes certain of our foreign currency forward contracts we enter into in order to mitigate the risk of currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Fair Value Hedges. Includes derivatives we enter into in order to hedge price risk associated with our inventory and certain firm commitments relating to fixed price purchase and sale contracts.
Non-designated Derivatives. Includes derivatives we primarily enter into in order to mitigate the risk of market price fluctuations in aviation, marine and land fuel in the form of swaps or futures as well as certain fixed price purchase and sale contracts and proprietary trading. In addition, non-designated derivatives are also entered into to hedge the risk of currency rate fluctuations.
As of September 30, 2013, our derivative instruments, at their respective fair value positions were as follows (in thousands, except weighted average fixed price and weighted average mark-to-market amount):

There have been no material changes to our exposures to interest rate or foreign currency risk since December 31, 2012. Please refer to our 2012 10-K Report for a complete discussion of our exposure to these risks.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As of the end of the period covered by this 10-Q Report, we evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2013.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2013.
It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.
As described in Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements Commitments and Contingencies Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, various lawsuits have been filed against us and other third parties related to the Lac-Mégantic incident. In July and August 2013, we, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of third parties, including MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in twenty complaints filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois. The complaints generally allege wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil and seek economic and compensatory damages, as well as costs. On August 29 and September 3, the actions were removed to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the IL District Court). On September 18 and 19, orders were entered reassigning the actions (other than one action that was remanded to state court prior to reassignment and another that was voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiffs) before a single judge in the IL District Court. Plaintiffs subsequently filed a motion to have these actions remanded to state court, which motion is currently pending before the IL District Court. In addition, on September 11, we filed a motion in the United States District Court for the District of Maine (where MMAs bankruptcy is pending) to transfer all of these actions to that court. This motion is currently pending. We believe these claims against us, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against such claims and pursue any and all defenses available.
In July and August 2013, we and certain of our subsidiaries, along with a number of other third parties, including CPR, MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in a motion filed in Quebec Superior Court to authorize the bringing of a class-action lawsuit seeking economic, compensatory and punitive damages, as well as costs. The motion generally alleges wrongful death and negligence in the failure to provide for the proper and safe transportation of crude oil. We believe these claims against us and our subsidiaries are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against such claims and pursue any and all defenses available.
On July 29, 2013, the Quebec Minister for Sustainable Development, Environment, Wildlife and Parks (the Minister) issued an order that requires MMA and us to recover the spilled crude oil caused by the incident and to otherwise fully remediate the impact of the incident on the environment. On August 14, the Minister issued a modified order, to which CPR was added as a party. The requirements of the modified order with respect to us are not materially different from the initial order. We have filed a contestation of the order and the modified order before the Tribunal administratif du Québec, an administrative body responsible for hearing such contestations, challenging the legality and validity of the orders on various grounds.
As a result of the Lac-Mégantic derailment, the Canadian Transportation Safety Board and the Department of Justice Canada are conducting investigations into the cause of the derailment and the events surrounding it. In addition, the Quebec police are conducting a criminal investigation and are reported to be coordinating with Canadian and U.S. law enforcement authorities.
Additional claims, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations and orders may be filed, commenced or issued with respect to the incident, which may involve civil claims for damages or governmental investigative, regulatory or enforcement actions against us.
We may be subject to costs and liabilities as a result of the derailment of a train carrying our crude oil in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec in July 2013.
We, on behalf of DPM, a crude oil marketing joint venture in which we own a 50% membership interest, purchased crude oil from various producers in the Bakken region of North Dakota. DPTS, a crude oil transloading joint venture in which we also own a 50% membership interest, arranged for the transloading of the crude oil for DPM into tank cars at the joint ventures facility in New Town, North Dakota. We leased the tank cars used in the transloading from a number of third party lessors and subleased these tank cars to DPM. We, on behalf of DPM, contracted with CPR for the transportation of the tank cars and the crude oil from New Town, North Dakota to a customer in New Brunswick, Canada. CPR subcontracted a portion of that route to MMA. On July 6, 2013, the freight train operated by MMA with 72 tank cars carrying approximately 50,000 barrels of the crude oil derailed in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. The derailment resulted in significant loss of life, damage to the environment from spilled crude oil and extensive property damage.
We, certain of our subsidiaries, DPM and DPTS, along with a number of third parties, including CPR, MMA and certain of its affiliates, as well as several manufacturers and lessors of tank cars, were named as defendants in lawsuits and proceedings related to the incident. In addition, an order was issued by the government of Quebec against CPR, MMA and us, requiring CPR, MMA and us to recover the spilled crude oil caused by the incident and to otherwise fully remediate the impact of the incident on the environment. For a more detailed discussion of these proceedings, see Legal Proceedings under Part II - Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
As a result of the Lac-Mégantic derailment, the Canadian Transportation Safety Board and the Department of Justice Canada are conducting investigations into the cause of the derailment and the events surrounding it. In addition, the Quebec police are conducting a criminal investigation and are reported to be coordinating with Canadian and U.S. law enforcement authorities.
Additional claims, lawsuits, proceedings, investigations and orders may be filed, commenced or issued with respect to the incident, which may involve civil claims for damages or governmental investigative, regulatory or enforcement actions against us. The adverse resolution of any proceedings related to these events could subject us and/or DPM or DPTS to monetary damages, fines and other costs, which could have a negative and material impact on our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition.
While we and our joint ventures, DPM and DPTS, maintain insurance to mitigate the costs of environmental releases as well as other results of unexpected events, including loss of life, property damage and defense costs, there can be no guarantee that our insurance will be adequate to cover all liabilities that may be incurred as a result of this incident. However, we expect that substantially all of the legal costs we incur in defending against the proceedings described above will be covered by insurance.
We are also evaluating potential claims that we, DPM or DPTS may assert against third parties to recover costs and other liabilities that may be incurred as a result of this incident. We can provide no guarantee that any such claims, if brought by us, will be successful or, if successful, that the responsible parties will have the financial resources to address any such claims. Any losses not covered by insurance or otherwise not recoverable from third parties, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The train derailment in Lac-Mégantic may result in increased governmental regulation of shipments of crude oil and other fuel products, which may lead to additional costs.
We rely in part on rail shipments to transport crude oil and other fuel products in both the United States and Canada. The accident in Lac-Mégantic and its aftermath has already led to and is likely to lead to additional governmental regulation of rail shipments of crude oil and other fuel products in Canada and the United States and to increased safety standards for the tank cars that transport these products. We cannot predict with any certainty what form any additional regulations may take. Any increased regulation that arises out of this incident could result in higher operating costs, which could adversely affect our operating results.
Our international operations require us to comply with applicable U.S and international laws and regulations.
As discussed in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, we previously received an administrative subpoena from U.S. Treasury Departments Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) requesting information regarding transactions that we have conducted involving Cuba since April 1, 2004, which was subsequently voluntarily expanded by us to include transactions involving Iran and Sudan. In August 2013, we agreed to pay $39 thousand to settle our potential civil liability for alleged violations of U.S. sanctions regulations. The separate administrative subpoena from OFAC requesting information regarding our transactions involving Sudanese overflight payments since June 30, 2008 remains outstanding.

(1) All of the shares purchased during the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013 were purchased as part of our common stock repurchase program.
(2) In October 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a $50.0 million common stock repurchase program. The program does not require a minimum number of shares of common stock to be purchased and has no expiration date but may be suspended or discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2013, $30.0 million remains available for repurchases under this program. The timing and amount of shares of common stock to be repurchased under the program will depend on market conditions, share price, securities law and other legal requirements and factors.
