    Allentown, PA August 7, 2024 – CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL) (“CrossAmerica” or the “Partnership”), a leading wholesale fuels distributor, convenience store operator, and owner and lessor of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

    “Our financial results for the second quarter were significantly improved from the first quarter, despite a continued overall soft fuel demand environment,” said Charles Nifong, President and CEO of CrossAmerica. “Our results reflect our continued successful execution of our strategy.  We realized strong results in our retail segment, with increases in overall gallons, sales and segment operating income and we converted an additional 43 sites to the retail segment during the quarter. Our distribution coverage ratio for the quarter was solid, materially higher than in the first quarter, and our balance sheet remains strong.  Overall, our results demonstrate the stability of our business and that we remain well positioned for future growth.”

    CrossAmerica reported an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and declines in Net Income and Distributable Cash Flow for the second quarter 2024 compared to the second quarter 2023. The slight increase in Adjusted EBITDA year-over-year for the quarter was primarily driven by an increase in the retail segment’s motor fuel and merchandise gross profit, offset by an increase in operating expenses primarily related to the conversion of certain lessee dealer and commission agent sites to company operated sites. The declines in Net Income and Distributable Cash Flow were primarily driven by an increase in interest expense relative to the prior year mainly due to the expiration of certain favorable interest rate hedges that occurred at the start of the quarter.

    *Includes only company operated retail sites

    For the second quarter 2024, the retail segment generated a 16% increase in gross profit compared to the second quarter 2023. The increase for the second quarter 2024 was primarily due to higher motor fuel (+10%) and merchandise (+23%) gross profit.

    The retail segment sold 143.0 million of retail fuel gallons during the second quarter 2024, which was an increase of 9% when compared to the second quarter 2023. This volume increase was primarily driven by the conversion of lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites over the past year and during the quarter, offset by a 2% decline in volume for same store locations.

    For the second quarter 2024, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit and other revenue increased 25% when compared to the second quarter 2023. The second quarter increase was primarily driven by an increase in the average company operated site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer and commission agent sites to company operated sites. Same store merchandise sales excluding cigarettes increased 2% for the second quarter 2024 when compared to the second quarter 2023. Merchandise gross profit percentage decreased from 29.0% for the second quarter 2023 to 28.3% for the second quarter 2024.

    For the second quarter 2024, operating expenses for the retail segment increased 22% primarily driven by a 28% (79 site) increase in the average company operated site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer and commission agent sites to company operated sites.

    Wholesale Segment

    Key Operating MetricsQ2 2024Q2 2023
    Wholesale segment gross profit$28.1M$31.7M
    Wholesale motor fuel gallons distributed192.1M218.1M
    Average wholesale gross margin per gallon$0.087$0.082

    During the second quarter 2024, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment gross profit decreased 11% compared to the second quarter 2023. This was driven by a decline in motor fuel and rent gross profit primarily due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites and a net loss of independent dealer contracts. The motor fuel gross profit decline of 7% was driven by a 12% decrease in wholesale volume distributed, with a substantial portion of the wholesale volume decline attributable to the conversion of wholesale locations to retail locations and the associated volume for these locations is now reflected in CrossAmerica’s retail segment. This was partially offset by an increase of 6% in margin per gallon.

    Divestment Activity

    During the three months ended June 30, 2024, CrossAmerica sold ten properties for $11.9 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $6.5 million.

    Acquisition of Assets from Applegreen

    As previously announced, the 59 site transaction with Applegreen closed on a rolling basis by site beginning during the first quarter 2024 and ending in April 2024. Additional details regarding this transaction are available in the CrossAmerica Partners Second Quarter 2024 Form 10-Q.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

    As of June 30, 2024, CrossAmerica had $789.5 million outstanding under its CAPL Credit Facility. As of August 2, 2024, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $116.0 million was available for future borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility. Leverage, as defined in the CAPL Credit Facility, was 4.39 times as of June 30, 2024, compared to 4.49 times as of March 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, CrossAmerica was in compliance with its financial covenants under the credit facility.

    Distributions

    On July 23, 2024, the Board of the Directors of CrossAmerica’s General Partner (“Board”) declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5250 per limited partner unit attributable to the second quarter 2024. As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on August 9, 2024 to all unitholders of record as of August 2, 2024. The amount and timing of any future distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board as provided in CrossAmerica’s Partnership Agreement.

    Conference Call

    The Partnership will host a conference call on August 8, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the second quarter 2024 earnings results. The conference call numbers are 800-717-1738 or 646-307-1865 and the passcode for both is 29269. A live audio webcast of the conference call and the related earnings materials, including reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and any other applicable disclosures, will be available on that same day on the investor section of the CrossAmerica website (www.crossamericapartners.com). After the live conference call, an archive of the webcast will be available on the investor section of the CrossAmerica site at https://caplp.gcs-web.com/webcasts-presentations within 24 hours after the call for a period of sixty days.

    Non-GAAP Measures and Same Store Metrics

    Non-GAAP measures used in this release include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. These Non-GAAP measures are further described and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

    Same store fuel volume and same store merchandise sales include aggregated individual store results for all stores that had fuel volume or merchandise sales in all months for both periods within the same segment. Same store merchandise sales excludes branded food sales and other revenues such as lottery commissions and car wash sales. Certain merchandise products have been transitioned from a gross profit model (whereby CrossAmerica owns the inventory and records sales and cost of sales) to a scan-based trading model (whereby a third party owns the inventory and CrossAmerica records a commission in other revenues). Same store merchandise sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 were adjusted to gross it up for the sales that would have been recorded had CrossAmerica not changed models.

    (a) In addition, CrossAmerica 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 sites but with continued fuel supply.
    (c) The decrease in the lessee dealer count was primarily attributable to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites, including through the Applegreen Acquisition, and CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort.

    Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    CrossAmerica uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income 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.

    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 CrossAmerica’s 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 the Partnership’s 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 CrossAmerica’s 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 CrossAmerica’s unitholders.

    CrossAmerica believes 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 the industry, CrossAmerica’s 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, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for per unit amounts):
