Aglobal team animated by a keen sense of shared mission can achieve extraordinary things.Never has this been more clearly demonstrated than it was this last year at World Fuel. TheCompany reported record levels of revenue, volume and earnings for 2003 and it is with
great pride that we applaud each and every one of our people for their contribution to this collec-tive success. Of course, true success is measured in many ways. Certainly, it is about financial per-formance, good corporate governance and transparency. But, as important are the more intangiblemetrics of success: passion, hard work, integrity, determination, commitment to excellence and auniversal appreciation that (as Andy Grove, of Intel Corporation once said) “No one of us is assmart as all of us.” Success is about having a deep-rooted belief that we have something of genuinevalue to offer our customers, suppliers and partners around the world. Success is projecting confi-dence. Success is building a culture of responsiveness and communication. Success is about solidconsistent execution. Success is about the open exchange of ideas and challenging the status quo.Ultimately, success is about character. And it is the character of the people who make up the WorldFuel team we most value and appreciate. It is character which informs our sense of corporate citi-zenship and defines our relationship with the market. It is character which will drive this Company’scontinued transformation and serve as an essential ingredient in future growth and expansion.
FOR THE YEAR 2003:For calendar 2003, total revenue for the Company was $2.7 billion, an increase of $764 million, or
40%, versus calendar 2002. The revenue increase was a result of both growth in volume and increasedprices. Diluted earnings per shareincreased by 49% from $1.32 to $1.96.Included in the results for 2002 werethe effects of the non-recurring, after-tax charges of the executive severanceand a debt settlement. Excludingthese non-recurring after-tax charges,diluted earnings per share would havebeen $1.66 for the calendar year 2002.Our day sales outstanding improved to25 days, reflecting the continued suc-cess of the Company’s effort toimprove the overall quality of itsaccounts receivables.

FINANCIAL STRENGTHS:World Fuel Services is anchored by a solid balance sheet. At December 31, 2003, our cash balance
was $76 million, with working capital of $106 million and shareholders’ equity of $148 million.Total assets at World Fuel exceeded $357 million.
On December 19, 2003, the Company announced a new $100 million revolving credit facilitywith LaSalle Bank, HSBC, Merrill Lynch, Commercebank and IDB. Arranging this facility pro-vided an opportunity for a number of banks to conduct an in-depth review of our financials andour business model and we are pleased that the offering was over-subscribed. We could not be hap-pier with the final list of participating banks and feel confident that they will not only support ourcurrent plans for business growth, but will be able to continue to grow with us in the years ahead.
AVIATION DIVISION:In the aviation segment, 2003 was a year of significant
developments across the spectrum. Our corporate flight divi-sion, Baseops, had a very good year with continued growthin the sale of fuel and flight services to a diversified portfo-lio of corporate and commercial customers. Our partnershipwith Jeppesen continues to grow, has added hundreds of newfuel customers and led to a broader global collaboration withBaseops in international flight services. Closer to home, ourpartnership with Signature Flight Support has expanded aswe increased our volume of supply to their network of FBO’sand worked on joint marketing initiatives with their ASIGdivision. On the fuel management front, we continued toexpand our service offering with the announcement of anout-sourcing agreement with America West and a processingagreement with United Airlines and Morgan Stanley. Bothinitiatives represent significant strategic developmentswhich will create economies of scale and have enhanced andcomplimented our core business in the cargo, charter andpassenger markets. Looking forward we will continue togrow volume, improve our service offering, focus on helpingour customers with price risk management and refine ourexpertise in processing.

MARINE DIVISION:In our marine segment, our global team demonstrated their ability to
respond quickly to the changing economic climate. As the shipping indus-try recovered throughout 2003, so did our overall results. Traded volume,sales, gross profit and operating income were all up this year as a directresult of the shift in industry fortunes and the highly focused initiatives ofour sales force. And while we continue to grow organically, we also contin-ued to pursue our strategy for growth through acquisition. On April 2,2004, we were very pleased to announce the acquisition of the TrampOil group of companies based in the U.K., one of the largest marine fuelservices groups in the market. The acquisition of Tramp, largest in theCompany’s history, brings a tremendous team of seasoned professionals,expands our global footprint, increases our market share, adds a complimen-tary portfolio of business and will be accretive to earnings. We are excitedabout the acquisition and will dedicate the remainder of the year to thechallenges of careful integration. Looking forward we will continue toemphasize deeper penetration of global accounts with a focus on our pur-chasing out-source model, supply specialization and custom tailoredproduct offerings in the area of price risk management.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:It is a very exciting time at World Fuel Services Corporation. We are extremely proud of our global
team and the outstanding performance delivered by our aviation and marine segments. We have successfully expanded our business model and laid a strong foundation for future growth.
