CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND OTHER DISCLOSURES

Our business consists of:

the wholesale distribution of motor fuels;
the owning or leasing of sites used in the retail distribution of motor fuels and, in turn, generating rental income from the lease or sublease of the sites;
the retail sale of motor fuels to end customers at retail sites operated by commission agents and ourselves; and
the operation of retail sites, including the sale of convenience merchandise to end customers.

Interim Financial Statements

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and the Exchange Act. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to keep the information presented from being misleading. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Form 10-K. Financial information as of March 31, 2025 and for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 included in the consolidated financial statements has been derived from our unaudited financial statements. Financial information as of December 31, 2024 has been derived from our audited financial statements and notes thereto as of that date.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. Our business exhibits seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer activity months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates and assumptions. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances could result in revised estimates and assumptions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures.” The amendments in this new guidance require that public business entities on an annual basis (1) disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (2) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. This new guidance also requires certain new disclosures such as income taxes paid disaggregated by federal, state and foreign taxes and further disaggregated by individual jurisdictions in which income taxes paid exceeds a quantitative threshold. This new guidance also eliminates certain previously required disclosures. We will include the new disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Certain other new accounting pronouncements have become effective for our financial statements during 2025, but the adoption of these pronouncements did not materially impact our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

New Accounting Pronouncements Pending Adoption

 

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses.” The amendments in this new guidance require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses, including with respect to purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and intangible asset amortization. These new disclosures will be required in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027 and interim and annual reports thereafter. Although we do not anticipate the impact of adopting this guidance will be material, it will affect our disclosures.

Concentration Risk

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, we purchased approximately 79% and 80% of our motor fuel from four suppliers. Approximately 22% and 24% of our motor fuel gallons sold for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were delivered by our top two carriers.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, approximately 55% and 50% of our merchandise was purchased from one supplier.

Note 2. APPLEGREEN ACQUISITION AND LEASE TERMINATION

On January 26, 2024, we entered into an agreement (the “Applegreen Purchase Agreement”) to acquire certain assets from Applegreen Midwest, LLC and Applegreen Florida, LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”) (the “Applegreen Acquisition”). The assets were acquired via the termination of the Partnership’s existing lease agreements with the Sellers at 59 locations, for total consideration of $16.9 million. The transaction closed on a rolling basis by site beginning in the first quarter of 2024 and ending in April 2024 and resulted in the transition of these lessee dealer sites to company operated sites. The Partnership also acquired for cash the inventory at the locations.

Of the 59 locations, 31 transitioned in the first quarter of 2024 with the remaining locations transitioning during the second quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, we paid $19.9 million of cash and accrued an additional $1.2 million of cash paid in April 2024. In addition, we recorded a non-cash write-off of deferred rent income of $1.4 million during the first quarter of 2024.

Note 3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

We have classified 67 sites and ten sites as held for sale at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which are expected to be sold within one year of such classification. Assets held for sale were as follows (in thousands):

The Partnership has continued to focus on optimizing the class of trade for its assets, which has included divesting certain assets, often lower performing, while seeking to maintain a wholesale fuel supply relationship whenever possible. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold seven properties for $8.6 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $5.6 million.

See Note 5 for information regarding impairment charges primarily recorded upon classifying sites within assets held for sale.

The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Partnership’s assets.

Letters of credit outstanding totaled $4.4 million and $5.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

Taking the interest rate swap contracts into account, the effective interest rate on our Credit Facility at March 31, 2025 was 6.1% (our applicable margin was 2.25% as of March 31, 2025). See Note 8 for additional information on our interest rate swap contracts.

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with our financial covenants under the Credit Facility. The amount of availability under the Credit Facility at March 31, 2025, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, was $86.8 million.

Our interest rate swap contracts fix the rate on a portion of our SOFR-based borrowings under our Credit Facility, have been designated as cash flow hedges and are expected to be highly effective. The first three swap contracts above matured April 1, 2024, and as a result, our effective interest rate on the Credit Facility has increased since that time.

 

The fair value of these interest rate swap contracts was reported as a separate line item within current assets, noncurrent assets, current liabilities and noncurrent liabilities, as applicable. See Note 11 for additional information on the fair value of the interest rate swap contracts.

We report the unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate swap contracts designated as highly effective cash flow hedges as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassify such gains and losses into earnings (interest expense on our statement of operations) in the same period during which the hedged interest expense is recorded. We recognized a net realized gain from settlements of the interest rate swap contracts of $0.9 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

We currently estimate that a net gain of $2.1 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into interest expense during the next 12 months; however, the actual amount that will be reclassified will vary based on changes in interest rates.

Public Relations and Website Consulting Services

We have engaged a company affiliated with John B. Reilly, III, member of the Board, for public relations and website consulting services. The cost of these services was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Note 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Purchase Commitments

We have minimum volume purchase requirements under certain of our fuel supply agreements with a purchase price at prevailing market rates for wholesale distribution. In the event we fail to purchase the required minimum volume for a given contract period, the underlying third party’s exclusive remedies (depending on the magnitude of the failure) are either termination of the supply agreement and/or a financial penalty per gallon based on the volume shortfall for the given period. We did not incur any significant penalties in any period presented.

Litigation Matters

We are from time to time party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. These actions typically seek, among other things, compensation for alleged personal injury, breach of contract, property damages, environmental damages, employment-related claims and damages, punitive damages, civil penalties or other losses, or injunctive or declaratory relief. With respect to all such lawsuits, claims and proceedings, we record an accrual when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. In addition, we disclose matters for which management believes a material loss is at least reasonably possible. We believe that it is not reasonably possible that these proceedings, separately or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In all instances, management has assessed the matter based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, giving due consideration to the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success. Management’s judgment may prove materially inaccurate, and such judgment is made subject to the known uncertainties of litigation.

Environmental Matters

We currently own or lease sites where refined petroleum products are being or have been handled. These sites and the refined petroleum products handled thereon may be subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations. Under such laws and regulations, we could be required to remove or remediate containerized hazardous liquids or associated generated wastes (including wastes disposed of or abandoned by prior owners or operators), to remediate contaminated property arising from the release of liquids or wastes into the environment, including contaminated groundwater, or to implement best management practices to prevent future contamination.

We maintain insurance of various types with varying levels of coverage that is considered adequate under the circumstances to cover operations and properties. The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that are considered reasonable and not excessive. In addition, we have generally entered into indemnification agreements with various sellers in conjunction with our past acquisitions, as further described below. Financial responsibility for environmental remediation is negotiated in connection with each acquisition transaction. In each case, an assessment is made of potential environmental liability exposure based on available information. Based on that assessment and relevant economic and risk factors, a determination is made whether to, and the extent to which we will, assume liability for existing environmental conditions.

Environmental liabilities recorded on the balance sheet within accrued expenses and other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities totaled $7.8 million and $8.4 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Indemnification assets related to third-party escrow funds, state funds or insurance recorded on the balance sheet within other current assets and other noncurrent assets totaled $6.1 million and $6.3 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. State funds represent probable state reimbursement amounts. Reimbursement will depend upon the continued maintenance and solvency of the state. Insurance coverage represents amounts deemed probable of reimbursement under insurance policies.

The estimates used in these reserves are based on all known facts at the time and an assessment of the ultimate remedial action outcomes. We will adjust loss accruals as further information becomes available or circumstances change. Among the many uncertainties that impact the estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modifications of, remediation plans, the amount of data available upon initial assessment of the impact of soil or water contamination, changes in costs associated with environmental remediation services and equipment and the possibility of existing legal claims giving rise to additional claims.

Environmental liabilities related to the sites contributed to the Partnership in connection with our IPO have not been assigned to us and are still the responsibility of the Predecessor Entity. The Predecessor Entity indemnified us for any costs or expenses that we incur for environmental liabilities and third-party claims, regardless of when a claim is made, that are based on environmental conditions in existence prior to the closing of the IPO for contributed sites. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership.

Similarly, we have generally been indemnified with respect to known contamination at sites acquired from third parties. As such, these environmental liabilities and indemnification assets are also not recorded on the consolidated balance sheet of the Partnership.

Note 11. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We measure and report certain financial and non-financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). U.S. GAAP specifies a three-level hierarchy that is used when measuring and disclosing fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices available in active markets (i.e., observable inputs) and the lowest priority to data lacking transparency (i.e., unobservable inputs). An instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of significant input to its valuation.

Transfers into or out of any hierarchy level are recognized at the end of the reporting period in which the transfers occurred. There were no transfers between any levels in 2025 or 2024.

As further discussed in Note 8, we remeasure the fair value of interest rate swap contracts on a recurring basis each balance sheet date. We used an income approach to measure the fair value of these contracts, utilizing a forward yield curve for the same period as the future interest rate swap settlements. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 measurements.

We have accrued for outstanding phantom units as a liability and adjust that liability on a recurring basis based on the market price of our common units each balance sheet date. These fair value measurements are deemed Level 1 measurements.

The fair value of our accounts receivable, notes receivable, and accounts payable approximated their carrying values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value of borrowings under the Credit Facility approximated its carrying value as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset and the consistency of the market spread.

Note 12. INCOME TAXES

As a limited partnership, we are not subject to federal and state income taxes. However, our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. Income tax attributable to our taxable income (including any dividend income from our corporate subsidiaries), which may differ significantly from income for financial statement purposes, is assessed at the individual limited partner unitholder level. We are subject to a statutory requirement that non-qualifying income, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code, cannot exceed 10% of total gross income for the calendar year. If non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. The non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit in any annual period.

Certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through our wholly owned taxable corporate subsidiaries. Current and deferred income taxes are recognized on the earnings of these subsidiaries. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and are measured using enacted tax rates.

We recorded an income tax benefit of $3.6 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, as a result of the losses incurred by our corporate subsidiaries. The effective tax rate differs from the combined federal and state statutory rate primarily because only our corporate subsidiaries are subject to income tax.

Note 14. SEGMENT REPORTING

We conduct our business in two reportable segments: 1) the wholesale segment and 2) the retail segment.

The wholesale segment includes the wholesale distribution of motor fuel to lessee dealers and independent dealers. We have exclusive motor fuel distribution contracts with lessee dealers who lease the property from us. We also have exclusive distribution contracts with independent dealers to distribute motor fuel but do not collect rent from the independent dealers.

12


CROSSAMERICA PARTNERS LP

CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The retail segment includes the retail sale of motor fuel at retail sites operated by commission agents and the sale of convenience merchandise and the retail sale of motor fuel at company operated sites. A commission agent site is a retail site where we retain title to the motor fuel inventory and sell it directly to our end user customers. At commission agent retail sites, we manage motor fuel inventory pricing and retain the gross profit on motor fuel sales, less a commission to the agent who operates the retail site. Similar to our wholesale segment, we also generate revenues through leasing or subleasing real estate in our retail segment.

Unallocated items consist primarily of general and administrative expenses, depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, gains on dispositions and lease terminations, net, other income, interest expense and income tax expense. Total assets by segment are not presented as management does not currently assess performance or allocate resources based on that data.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, we converted 18 and 53 sites from lessee dealer sites in the wholesale segment to company operated or commission sites in the retail segment, net. The sites converted during the first quarter of 2024 include 31 sites from the Applegreen Acquisition. See Note 2 for additional information.

Receivables from fuel are recognized on a per-gallon rate and are generally collected within 10 days of delivery.

The balance of unamortized costs incurred to obtain certain contracts with customers was $9.3 million and $8.9 million at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Amortization of such costs is recorded against operating revenues and amounted to $0.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Significant Factors Affecting our Profitability

The Significance of Crude Oil and Wholesale Motor Fuel Prices on Our Revenues, Cost of Sales and Gross Profit

The prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects our cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and, correspondingly, the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations. For approximately 55% of gallons sold, we receive a per gallon rate equal to the posted rack price, less any applicable discounts, plus transportation costs, taxes and a fixed rate per gallon of motor fuel. The remaining gallons are either retail sales or wholesale DTW contracts that provide for variable, market-based pricing.

Regarding our supplier relationships, a material amount of our total gallons purchased are subject to prompt payment discounts. The dollar value of these discounts varies with changes in motor fuel prices. Therefore, in periods of lower wholesale motor fuel prices, our gross profit is negatively affected, and, in periods of higher wholesale motor fuel prices, our gross profit is positively affected (as it relates to these discounts).

In our retail business, we attempt to pass along wholesale motor fuel price changes to our retail customers through “at the pump” retail price changes; however, market conditions do not always allow us to do so immediately. The timing of any related increase or decrease in “at the pump” retail prices is affected by competitive conditions in each geographic market in which we operate. As such, the prices we charge our customers for motor fuel and the gross profit we receive on our motor fuel sales can increase or decrease significantly over short periods of time. Further, we are assessed fees as a percentage of debit and credit card sales. Such fees increase as "at the pump" retail prices increase but without necessarily being accompanied by higher retail gross profits.

Changes in our average motor fuel selling price per gallon and gross margin are directly related to the changes in crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices. Variations in our reported revenues and cost of sales are, therefore, primarily related to the price of crude oil and wholesale motor fuel prices and generally not as a result of changes in motor fuel sales volumes, unless otherwise indicated and discussed below.

Seasonality Effects on Volumes

Our business is subject to seasonality due to our wholesale and retail sites being located in certain geographic areas that are affected by seasonal weather and temperature trends and associated changes in retail customer activity during different seasons. Historically, sales volumes have been highest in the second and third quarters (during the summer months) and lowest during the winter months in the first and fourth quarters.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation affects our financial performance by increasing certain components of cost of goods sold, such as fuel, merchandise, and credit card fees. Inflation also affects certain operating expenses, such as labor costs, certain leases, and general and administrative expenses. While our wholesale segment benefits from higher terms discounts as a result of higher fuel costs, inflation can negatively impact our cost of goods sold and operating expenses. Although we have historically been able to pass on increased costs through price increases, there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in the future.

Impact of Interest Rates

Three of our most favorable interest rate swap contracts matured April 1, 2024. See Note 8 to the financial statements for additional information regarding the impact of the maturity of those interest rate swap contracts on our interest expense.

Acquisition and Financing Activity

Our results of operations and financial condition are also impacted by our acquisition and financing activities as summarized below.

During the first half of 2024, we converted the 59 sites included in the Applegreen Acquisition and transitioned these sites from lessee dealer sites in the wholesale segment to company operated sites in the retail segment. See Note 2 to the financial statements for additional information.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Operating revenues decreased $79 million (8%) and operating income increased $15 million. Significant items impacting these results were:

Operating revenues

An $87 million (19%) decrease in our wholesale segment revenues primarily attributable to an 11% decrease in volume driven by the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites as well as the net loss of independent dealer contracts. In addition, our average wholesale selling price decreased 8% due primarily to changes in crude oil prices during the course of the quarter compared to last year.
Our retail segment revenues increased $8 million (2%) for the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024, primarily attributable to a $13 million (17%) increase in merchandise revenues driven by an increase in our average company operated site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites. Retail fuel sales decreased $5 million (1%) due to a 5% decrease in the average retail fuel selling price due to the decrease in wholesale motor fuel prices as noted above. This decrease was partially offset by a 4% increase in volume due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites, partially offset by a decrease in volume in our base business.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales decreased $88 million (10%), due primarily to lower wholesale volume and lower cost per gallon, partially offset by the increase in merchandise cost of sales driven by the same drivers as discussed above.

Gross profit

Gross profit increased $8 million (10%), which was primarily driven by an increase in merchandise and motor fuel gross profit within our retail segment, partially offset by a decrease in rent gross profit within our wholesale segment. See “Results of Operations—Segment Results” for additional gross profit analyses.

19


 

Operating expenses

See “Results of Operations—Segment Results” for analyses.

General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million (12%) primarily driven by higher management fees and equity compensation expense, partially offset by lower acquisition-related costs.

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased $7.6 million (41%) primarily due to an $8.5 million increase in impairment charges in comparison to prior year, partially offset by the impact of assets becoming fully depreciated.

Gain (loss) on dispositions and lease terminations, net

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $5.6 million in net gains in connection with our ongoing real estate rationalization effort, partially offset by $0.6 million of net losses on lease terminations and asset disposals.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $15.9 million loss on lease termination with Applegreen, including a $1.4 million non-cash write-off of deferred rent income. In addition, we recorded $0.9 million of other losses on lease terminations and asset disposals, including non-cash write-offs of deferred rent income.

Interest expense

Interest expense increased $2.3 million (22%) due to the maturity of three of our most favorable interest rate swap contracts on April 1, 2024.

Income tax benefit

We recorded an income tax benefit of $3.6 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, driven by losses incurred by our taxable subsidiaries.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Gross profit increased $8.8 million (16%) and operating income increased $0.2 million (2%). These results were impacted by:

Gross profit

Our motor fuel gross profit increased $5.1 million (20%), attributable to a 10% increase in our margin per gallon for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, driven by movements in crude oil prices within the two periods. In addition, volume increased 4% due primarily to an increase in the average retail site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites, partially offset by a decrease in volume in our base business.
Our merchandise gross profit increased $3.5 million (16%), driven by an increase in the average company operated site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites.

(a)
In addition, we distributed motor fuel to sub-wholesalers who distributed to additional sites.
(b)
The decrease in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to the net loss of contracts, partially offset by divestitures of certain lessee dealer and commission agent sites but with continued fuel supply.
(c)
The decrease in the lessee dealer site count was primarily attributable to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites, including through the Applegreen Acquisition, and our real estate rationalization effort.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Gross profit decreased $0.3 million (1%) and operating income increased $1.4 million (8%). These results were impacted by:

Motor fuel gross profit

The $1.2 million increase (8%) in motor fuel gross profit was primarily due to a 22% increase in our average fuel margin per gallon as compared to the same period of 2024, driven by movement in crude oil prices as well as better sourcing costs, partially offset by an 11% decrease in volume driven by the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites and the net loss of independent dealer contracts.

Rent gross profit

Rent gross profit decreased $1.7 million (15%) for the first quarter of 2025 compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites as well as the sale of certain lessee dealer sites in connection with our real estate rationalization effort.

22


 

Operating expenses

Operating expenses decreased $1.7 million (19%), primarily due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites as well as the real estate rationalization effort.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation expense, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net and certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain other discrete non-cash items arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by distributions paid on common units.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and the ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from the wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of our retail site activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are also used to assess the ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unitholders.

We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio provides useful information to investors in assessing the financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

The following table presents reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow to net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for Distribution Coverage Ratio):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance our operations, fund acquisitions, service our debt and pay distributions to our unitholders. We expect our ongoing sources of liquidity to include cash generated by operations, proceeds from sales of sites in connection with our real estate rationalization efforts, borrowings under the Credit Facility, and if available to us on acceptable terms, issuances of equity and debt securities. We regularly evaluate alternate sources of capital to support our liquidity requirements.

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, acquisitions, and partnership distributions, will depend on our future operating performance, which, in turn, will be subject to general economic, financial, business, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. As a normal part of our business, depending on market conditions, we will, from time to time, consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness. Changes in our operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause us to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods.

We believe that we will have sufficient cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility, access to capital markets and alternate sources of funding to meet our financial commitments, debt service obligations, contingencies, anticipated capital expenditures and partnership distributions. However, we are subject to business and operational risks that could adversely affect our cash flow. A material decrease in our cash flows would likely produce an adverse effect on our borrowing capacity as well as our ability to issue additional equity and/or debt securities and/or maintain or increase distributions to unitholders.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to a $10 million net generation of cash flow from changes in working capital, stemming from timing of settlement of rebates owed by our fuel suppliers and improved inventory management, partially offset by higher interest expense driven by the maturity of three of our most favorable interest rate swap contracts on April 1, 2024.

As is typical in our industry, our current liabilities exceed our current assets as a result of the longer settlement of real estate and motor fuel taxes as compared to the shorter settlement of receivables for fuel, rent and merchandise.

Investing Activities

We incurred capital expenditures of $10 million and $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. We received $9 million in proceeds primarily from the sale of sites in connection with our real estate rationalization effort for the three months ended March 31, 2025. We paid $20 million to Applegreen related to lease terminations and inventory purchases during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Financing Activities

We paid $20 million in distributions for each of the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we made total net borrowings on our credit facilities of $11 million and $42 million, respectively.

The amount of any distribution is subject to the discretion of the Board, which may modify or revoke our cash distribution policy at any time. Our Partnership Agreement does not require us to pay any distributions. As such, there can be no assurance we will continue to pay distributions in the future.

Taking the interest rate swap contracts into account, the effective interest rate on our Credit Facility at March 31, 2025 was 6.1% (our applicable margin was 2.25% as of March 31, 2025). Letters of credit outstanding at March 31, 2025 totaled $4.4 million.

The amount of availability under our Credit Facility at May 2, 2025, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, was $87.2 million.

Capital Expenditures

We make investments to expand, upgrade and enhance existing assets. We categorize our capital requirements as either sustaining capital expenditures, growth capital expenditures or acquisition capital expenditures. Sustaining capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Growth capital expenditures, which include individual site purchases, and acquisition capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long term. We have the ability to fund our capital expenditures by additional borrowings under our Credit Facility, or, if available to us on acceptable terms, accessing the capital markets and issuing additional equity, debt securities or other options, such as the sale of assets. Our ability to access the capital markets may have an impact on our ability to fund acquisitions. We may not be able to complete any offering of securities or other options on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Outlook

As noted previously, the prices paid to our motor fuel suppliers for wholesale motor fuel (which affects our cost of sales) are highly correlated to the price of crude oil. The crude oil commodity markets are highly volatile, and the market prices of crude oil, and, correspondingly, the market prices of wholesale motor fuel, experience significant and rapid fluctuations, which affect our motor fuel gross profit.

Our results for 2025 are anticipated to be impacted by the following:

We continue to consider the highest and best use class of trade for each of our properties, which may result in the conversion of sites from one class of trade to another and ultimately increases or decreases in the gross profit for the wholesale and retail segments. The Applegreen Acquisition as well as other conversions of lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites are anticipated to increase gross profit and operating expenses in the retail segment and reduce gross profit in the wholesale segment.
As part of our evaluation of the highest and best use class of trade for each of our properties, we anticipate continuing to divest certain assets, often lower performing properties. These sales are likely to continue to generate gains or impairment charges depending on the site, and may result in reductions in gross profit in the wholesale and retail segments. For many of these divestitures, we anticipate continuing to supply the sites with fuel through long-term supply contracts.

 

We will continue to evaluate acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Additionally, we will pursue acquisition targets that fit into our strategy. Whether we will be able to execute acquisitions will depend on market conditions, availability of suitable acquisition targets at attractive terms, acquisition-related compliance with customary regulatory requirements, and our ability to finance such acquisitions on favorable terms and in compliance with our debt covenant restrictions.
