MIAMI -- November 01, 2012

World Fuel Services Corporation (NYSE:INT), a leading global fuel logistics
company, principally engaged in the marketing, sale and distribution of
aviation, marine and land fuel products and related services, today reported
third quarter net income of $51.5 million or $0.72 diluted earnings per share
compared to $52.7 million or $0.74 diluted earnings per share in the third
quarter of 2011. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share for the
third quarter, which exclude share-based compensation and amortization of
acquired intangible assets, were $57.9 million and $0.81, respectively,
compared to $59.3 million or $0.83 in 2011.

“Our market expertise and value-added service offerings continue to
differentiate World Fuel as a solid counterparty to our customers and
suppliers worldwide,” stated Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief executive
officer of World Fuel Services Corporation. “We were pleased to complete the
CarterEnergy acquisition and look to continue to grow our business across all
of our segments organically and through further strategic investments.”

The company’s marine segment generated gross profit of $54 million, an
increase of approximately $2.2 million or 4% sequentially, and $3.9 million or
8% year-over-year. Our aviation segment generated gross profit of $84.2
million in the third quarter of 2012, an increase of $15 million or 22%
sequentially, and flat year-over-year. The company’s land segment posted gross
profit of $42.6 million, a decrease of $8.6 million or 17% sequentially, but
an increase of $5.8 million or 16% year-over-year.

“We continue to execute on our long-term growth strategy by capitalizing on
organic growth opportunities and strategic investments such as CarterEnergy,"
said Ira M. Birns, executive vice president and chief financial officer. “Our
strong balance sheet, solid liquidity profile and strong risk management
discipline should continue to serve us well as we navigate the volatile global
marketplace.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes selected financial information that has not been
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States (“GAAP”). This information includes non-GAAP net income and
non-GAAP diluted earnings per 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 company’s core operating results. We believe that these non-GAAP financial
measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information
prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful for investors to evaluate our
core operating results and trends.

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 diluted
earnings per 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. A reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP results has been provided in the
financial statement tables included in this press release.

Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements

With the exception of historical information in this news release, this
document includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to, quarterly fluctuations in
results, the creditworthiness of customers and counterparties and our ability
to collect accounts receivable, fluctuations in world oil prices or foreign
currency, changes in political, economic, regulatory, or environmental
conditions, adverse conditions in the markets or industries in which we or our
customers operate, our failure to effectively hedge certain financial risks
associated with the use of derivatives, non-performance by counterparties or
customers on derivatives contracts, the integration of acquired businesses,
uninsured losses, our ability to retain and attract senior management and
other key employees and other risks detailed from time to time in the
company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Actual results may
differ materially from any forward-looking statements set forth herein.
