      Fuel Services Corporation Completes Watson Petroleum Acquisition</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2014--World Fuel Services Corporation
      (NYSE:INT), announced today that it has completed the previously
      announced acquisition of Watson Petroleum Limited.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;The Watson acquisition will significantly expand our land segment in
      the United Kingdom and serve as a platform for further growth across
      Europe,&#8221; said Michael J. Kasbar, president and chief executive officer
      of World Fuel Services Corporation. &#8220;We are pleased to welcome the
      Watson team to the World Fuel organization.&#8221;
    </p>
    <p>
      Watson Petroleum, based in Brinkworth, England, generated revenue of
      $2.2 billion in 2013 and is the second largest distributor of
      ground-based fuels in the United Kingdom, providing gasoline, diesel,
      heating oil, lubricants and other products and related services. Watson
      delivers its product and service offerings through its well established
      distribution network consisting of 47 locations throughout England and
      Wales.
    </p>
    <p>
      The transaction is expected to be $0.18 to $0.22 accretive to earnings
      on a GAAP basis in the first twelve months. Non-GAAP accretion, which
      excludes amortization of acquired intangible assets of approximately
      $0.10 per share, is expected to be $0.28 to $0.32 in the first twelve
      months.
    </p>
    <p>
      <u>Information Relating to Forward-Looking Statements</u>
    </p>
    <p>
      With the exception of historical information in this news release, this
      document includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
      Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including statements
      regarding our expectations about the effect of the acquisition on our
      land segment in the United Kingdom and future growth across Europe, as
      well as our expectation regarding the effect of the transaction on our
      earnings. These forward-looking statements are qualified in their
      entirety by cautionary statements and risk factor disclosures contained
      in the company&#8217;s Securities and Exchange Commission (&#8220;SEC&#8221;) filings,
      including the company&#8217;s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on
      February 14, 2014. Actual results may differ materially from any
      forward-looking statements due to risks and uncertainties, including,
      but not limited to: our ability to effectively integrate and derive
      benefits from the Watson Petroleum business, our ability to capitalize
      on new market opportunities, particularly in Europe, potential
      liabilities and the extent of any insurance coverage, the outcome of
      pending litigation and other proceedings, the impact of quarterly
      fluctuations in results, the creditworthiness of our customers and
      counterparties and our ability to collect accounts receivable,
      environmental and other risks associated with the storage,
      transportation and delivery of petroleum products, our failure to
      effectively hedge certain financial risks associated with the use of
      derivatives, non-performance by counterparties or customers on
      derivatives contracts, loss of, or reduced sales, to a significant
      government customer, uninsured losses, the failure of fuel and other
      products we sell to meet specifications, 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 and suppliers operate, the
      impact of natural disasters, adverse results in legal disputes,
      unanticipated tax liabilities, our ability to retain and attract senior
      management and other key employees and other risks detailed from time to
      time in the company&#8217;s SEC filings. New risks emerge from time to time
      and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors
      or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we
      undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking
      statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in
      expectations, future events, or otherwise.

      <u>Non-GAAP Financial Measures</u>
    </p>
    <p>
      This press release includes selected financial information that has not
      been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
      accepted in the United States (&#8220;GAAP&#8221;). Specifically, we have used
      non-GAAP accretion to earnings per share, which excludes amortization of
      acquired intangible assets, primarily because we do not believe it is
      reflective of the company&#8217;s core operating results. We believe that this
      non-GAAP financial measure, when considered in conjunction with our
      financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, is useful for
      investors to evaluate our core operating results and trends.
    </p>
    <p>
      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 accretion may not
      be comparable to the presentation of such metric by other companies.
      Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of this non-GAAP
      measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure contained
      in this press release.
