Current report

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was signed into law. The OBBB reinstated several key income tax provisions that were initially part of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, but which had been phased out in recent years or were set to expire in 2025, and made other changes to income tax provisions, many of which are not effective until 2026. The OBBB, among other things, repealed the mandatory capitalization of domestic research and development expenditures under Internal Revenue Code Section 174, extended the ability to take 100% bonus depreciation, reinstituted the EBITDA based Section 163(j) calculation, revised international tax regimes, and accelerated the phase out of clean energy credits.

Current report

We have evaluated the impact of the OBBB and reflected the projected effects in the Quarterly Financial Statements (as defined below). Specifically, we anticipate a favorable impact on the timing of cash paid for taxes during 2025, resulting in a reduction of approximately $8.0 million for the full year 2025. We do not anticipate the OBBB to have a material impact on our effective tax rate for 2025. We will continue to monitor future guidance and developments related to the OBBB and will update our income tax disclosures as appropriate.

Current report

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, fuel revenue decreased by $163.7 million, or 11.3%, compared to the third quarter of 2024.

Current report

We disclose certain measures on a “comparable wholesale sites” basis, which is a non-GAAP measure. Information disclosed on a “comparable wholesale sites” basis excludes wholesale sites added through retail sites converted to dealers until the first quarter in which these sites had a full quarter of wholesale activity in the prior year. We believe that this information is useful for our investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties by providing greater comparability regarding our ongoing operating performance.

Starting in the middle of 2024, we have expanded our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of retail locations to dealer sites, which we expect will yield greater profitability. These sites, coupled with the sale of fuel at cardlock locations and commissions earned from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites, provide stable, ratable cash flows that, together with free cash flow from our retail segment, can be deployed to pursue accretive acquisitions and invest in our business. The wholesale segment adds significant fuel volumes to our robust retail fuel sales, which we believe enhances our purchasing power for our entire platform, including our retail segment, and improves our competitiveness as an acquirer of choice.

Current wording

Starting in the middle of 2024, as part of our Transformation Plan discussed in further detail below, we began to expand our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of retail locations to dealer sites, which has yielded, and we expect will continue to yield, greater profitability once converted. These sites, coupled with the sale of fuel at cardlock locations and commissions earned from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites, provide stable, ratable cash flows that, together with free cash flow from our retail segment, can be deployed to pursue accretive acquisitions and invest in our business.

Previous wording

Our wholesale segment supplies fuel to dealers, sub-wholesalers, and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a consignment or cost plus basis. For consignment arrangements, we retain ownership of the fuel inventory at the site, are responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and share a portion of the gross profit earned from the sale of fuel with the consignment dealers. For cost plus arrangements, we sell fuel to dealers and bulk and spot purchasers on a fixed-fee basis. The sales price is determined according to the terms of the relevant agreement, which typically reflects our total fuel costs plus the cost of transportation and a margin, with us generally retaining the prompt pay discounts and rebates.

Current wording

Our wholesale segment supplies fuel to dealers, sub-wholesalers, and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a cost plus basis or consignment basis. For consignment arrangements, we retain ownership of the fuel inventory at the site until the time of sale to the ultimate customer by the dealer, we are responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer, and we share the gross profit generated from the sale of the fuel by the dealers. In certain cases, gross profit is split based on a percentage and in others, we pay a fixed fee per gallon to the dealer. For cost plus arrangements, we sell fuel to dealers and bulk and spot purchasers on a fixed-fee basis. The sales price is determined according to the terms of the relevant agreement with the dealer, which generally includes a stated reference price for the fuel plus the cost of transportation and a margin. We generally retain any prompt pay discounts and rebates.

Previous wording

Leveraging our unique, multi-segment operating model through more active conversion of retail stores within our retail segment to dealer sites within our wholesale segment. We have identified and expect to convert a meaningful number of retail locations to dealer sites, which we expect will yield greater profitability. Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our dealers and us. Dealers are able to leverage their own scale by taking additional sites, while we realize higher profit from ongoing fuel supply agreements and rental income than from continuing to operate these stores in our retail segment. These conversions also will allow us to focus and better prioritize future investments in our remaining retail stores. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, we converted 70 retail stores to dealer sites, for a total of 129 stores converted in the six months ended June 30, 2025, and a total of 282 stores converted since the beginning of the retail store conversion initiative in the middle of 2024. We expect to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout 2025 and into 2026.

We expect to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout the balance of 2025 and 2026. These conversions have resulted in approximately $6.5 million in incremental operating income before general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Additional targeted capital allocation toward strategic sub-segments of our retail stores, with a goal of increasing traffic and improving profitability. These investments will be guided by our pilot program of new format stores, the development of which was initiated in 2024, designed to elevate the customer experience and better reflect our commitment to foodservice, convenience, efficiency, and community connection. This new format includes a completely new inside and outside the store, a modernized layout, and we have introduced our new food and beverage concept, fas craves, which elevates our assortment of hot, cold and grab-n-go food and dispensed beverage offerings. The program consists of seven stores in the new format within one of our regions, with plans for a region-wide rollout before, ultimately, the expansion of this program across our retail footprint. One new format store opened in June 2025 and another opened in early August 2025.

Previous wording

Additionally, the significant increase in the rate of inflation in the U.S. in recent years and the effect of higher prevailing interest rates have increased merchandise cost and reduced consumer purchasing power. We have mitigated the impact of a portion of these higher costs on operating results with retail price increases. The persistence of, or increase in, inflation or high interest rates could negatively impact the demand for our products and services, including due to consumers reducing travel, which could reduce sales volumes. Because of recent and current labor market conditions and the prevailing wage rates in the markets in which we operate, we have increased wages, which has increased, and may continue to increase, our costs associated with recruiting and retaining qualified personnel. Additionally, any major changes in tax or trade policy between the U.S. and countries from which we or our suppliers source merchandise and other products for our sites, such as the imposition of additional tariffs or duties on imported products, could require that we take certain actions, including raising prices on products we sell and seeking alternative sources of supply. Further, any major changes could lead to significant cost increases and delays in opening remodeled or new convenience stores or other improvements to our sites.
