ARKO Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“common stock”) is listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) under the symbol “ARKO.”
In July 2025, the Company formed ARKO Petroleum Corp., a Delaware corporation, as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary (“APC”). On February 13, 2026, APC completed an initial public offering of 11,111,111 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A common stock”), at a price to the public of $18.00 per share (the “APC IPO”), for total net proceeds of approximately $206.8 million (including proceeds from the underwriters’ exercise of their over-allotment option, pursuant to which they purchased an additional 1,459,112 shares of Class A common stock). The Company holds 73.6% of the economic interests in APC and 93.3% of the combined voting power of APC’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B common stock”). APC’s Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “APC.” Refer to Note 3 below for further information.
The Company owns 100% of GPM Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“GPM”), which was its primary operating entity for all the Company’s reportable segments prior to the consummation of the APC IPO. The Company has four reportable segments: retail, wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPMP. GPM is engaged directly and through fully owned and controlled subsidiaries in retail activity, which includes the operations of a chain of convenience stores, most of which include adjacent gas stations. Until the APC IPO, GPM was also engaged in wholesale activity, which included the supply of fuel to gas stations operated by third-parties and, in fleet fueling, which included the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations) and issuance of proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites. Since the APC IPO, APC operates the wholesale, fleet fueling, and GPMP segments. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s activity included the operation of 1,057 retail convenience stores, the supply of fuel to 2,129 gas stations operated by dealers and the operation of 290 cardlock locations, in the District of Columbia and throughout more than 30 states in the Mid-Atlantic, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southeastern and Southwestern United States (“U.S.”).
Refer to Note 11 below for further information with respect to the segments.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (“interim financial statements”) as of June 30, 2026 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial information and Regulation S-X set forth by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim reporting. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments except those otherwise described herein) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included in the accompanying interim financial statements. However, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. Therefore, the interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “annual financial statements”).
The same significant accounting policies, presentation and methods of computation have been followed in these interim financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the annual financial statements.
Accounting Periods
The Company’s fiscal periods end on the last day of the month, and its fiscal year ends on December 31. This results in the Company experiencing fluctuations in current assets and current liabilities due to purchasing and payment patterns which change based upon the day of the week. As a result, working capital can change from period to period not only due to changing business operations, but also due to a change in the day of the week on which a period ends. The Company earns a disproportionate amount of itsannual operating income in the second and third quarters as a result of the generally favorable climate and seasonal buying patterns of its customers.
Use of Estimates
In the preparation of interim financial statements, management may make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include lease liabilities; impairment of intangible, right-of-use and fixed assets; environmental assets and liabilities; deferred tax assets; and asset retirement obligations.
Non-controlling Interest
These interim financial statements reflect the application of ASC 810, Consolidation, which establishes accounting and reporting standards that require: (i) the ownership interest in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be clearly identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet within stockholders’ equity, but separate from the parent’s equity, (ii) the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the non-controlling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated statements of operations, and (iii) changes in a parent’s ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary to be accounted for consistently.
Following the APC IPO, a non-controlling interest has been recorded for the interest owned in APC by the holders of APC’s Class A common stock.
Trade Receivables
The majority of trade receivables are typically from dealers, fleet fueling customers, customer credit accounts and credit card companies in the ordinary course of business. Balances due in respect of credit cards processed through the Company’s fuel suppliers and other providers are collected within two to three days depending upon the day of the week, and time of day, of the purchase. Receivables from dealers and customer credit accounts are typically due within one to 30 days and are stated as amounts due. Accounts that are outstanding longer than the payment terms are considered past due. At each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on trade receivables. As of June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025, December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, net trade receivables totaled$151.1 million,$112.3 million,$87.3 million and$95.8 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to the customers. This requires the Company to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a single point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer. Control is transferred to the customer over time if the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. If a performance obligation is not satisfied over time, the Company satisfies the performance obligation at a single point in time.
Revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for goods or services.
When the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of goods or services to the customer, revenue is recognized against contract assets in the amount of consideration to which the Company is entitled. When the consideration amount received from the customer exceeds the amounts recognized as revenue, the Company recognizes a contract liability for the excess.
An asset is recognized related to the costs incurred to obtain a contract (e.g. sales commissions) if the costs are specifically identifiable to a contract, the costs will result in enhancing resources that will be used in satisfying performance obligations in the future and the costs are expected to be recovered. These capitalized costs were$9.0 million,$7.4 million,$8.2 million and$6.7 million as of June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025, December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, were recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were amortized on a systematic basis consistent with the pattern of transfer of the goods or services to which such costs relate. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was$0.7 million,$0.5 million,$1.2 million and$0.9 million, respectively, and was included in fuel costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company expenses the costs to obtain a contract, as and when they are incurred, in cases where the expected amortization period isone year or less.
The Company recognizes a contract asset when making upfront incentive payments to dealers. Certain of the upfront consideration represents a prepaid incentive, as these payments are not made for distinct services provided by the dealer. Others represent payments for equipment installed at a dealer location. The prepaid incentives were$56.6 million,$47.7 million,$51.8 million and$43.8 million as of June 30, 2026, June 30, 2025, December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and were recorded as a part of other current assets and other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and were amortized as a reduction of revenue over the term of the specific agreement. Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was$2.2 million,$1.6 million,$4.2 million and$3.0 million, respectively.
The Company evaluates if it is a principal or an agent in a transaction to determine whether revenue should be recorded on a gross or a net basis. In performing this analysis, the Company considers first whether it controls the goods before they are transferred to the customers and if it has the ability to direct the use of the goods or obtain benefits from them. The Company also considers the following indicators: (1) the primary obligor, (2) the latitude in establishing prices and selecting suppliers, and (3) the inventory risk borne by the Company before and after the goods have been transferred to the customer. When the Company acts as principal, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. When the Company acts as agent, revenue is recorded on a net basis.
Certain fuel and sales taxes are invoiced by fuel suppliers or collected from customers and remitted to governmental agencies either directly, or through suppliers, by the Company. Whether these taxes are presented on a gross or net basis is dependent on whether the Company is acting as a principal or agent in the sales transaction. Fuel excise taxes are presented on a gross basis for fuel sales because the Company is acting as the primary obligor, has pricing latitude, and is also exposed to inventory and credit risks.
Refer to Note 11 for disclosure of the revenue disaggregated by segment and product line, as well as a description of the reportable segment operations.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share are calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, by dividing net income (loss) attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are calculated, if applicable, by adjusting net income (loss) attributable to the Company and the weighted average number of common shares, taking into effect all potential dilutive common shares.
The Company consolidates APC which has outstanding APC RSUs and APC PSUs (both as defined in Note 8) that may be settled in shares of APC’s common stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the Company reflects the dilutive effect of such APC RSUs and APC PSUs using the treasury stock method, when dilutive. The assumed settlement of the APC RSUs and APC PSUs increases APC’s outstanding Class A common shares and results in a greater allocation of APC’s net income to non-controlling interests. Accordingly, the numerator used in calculating diluted earnings per share is adjusted to reflect the reduced amount of net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders. No adjustment is made to the denominator because the assumed settlement of the APC RSUs and APC PSUs do not result in the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s common stock.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
Credit Losses– In May 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides optional practical expedients to simplify the estimation of expected credit losses on certain financial assets. The amendments modify the CECL model by introducing streamlined approaches for determining expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets, along with related enhancements to required disclosures about credit risk and the measurement of expected credit losses. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The practical expedients and disclosure enhancements are required to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this ASU, including the practical expedients, did not have a material impact on the Company’s interim financial statements and related disclosures.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures– In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement. The standard requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The requirements should be applied on a prospective basis while retrospective application is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard will have on its disclosures.
Derivatives and Hedging– In December 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Improvements to Hedge Accounting and Disclosure Requirements, which enhances transparency around an entity’s hedging activities. The standard expands existing disclosure requirements related to an entity’s risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking hedging activities, the effects of hedging instruments on the financial statements, and the presentation of gains and losses associated with derivatives and hedged items. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-07, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract, which is expected to reduce the cost and complexity of evaluating certain contracts for derivative accounting, better portray the economics of those contracts in the financial statements, reduce diversity in practice related to derivative accounting, and clarify the applicability of Topic 606 to share-based noncash consideration from a customer. Both ASUs are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. ASU 2024-05 requires prospective application, while ASU 2025-07 may be applied prospectively or on a modified retrospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of these standards, including early adoption of ASU 2025-07, will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Dividends
APC currently intends to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.50 per share to holders of its common stock, or $2.00 per share on an annualized basis.

Cash dividends paid in respect of Class A common stock will also be paid in respect of Class B common stock. As a result, dividends paid on APC’s common stock will be received on a pro rata basis by holders of its Class A common stock and holders of Class B common stock, which Class B common stock is held indirectly by the Company. The APC Board declared a quarterly pro-rated dividend of $0.26 per share of common stock that was paid on April 21, 2026. There can be no assurance that APC will continue to pay such dividends or the amounts of such dividends.

The PSUs were awarded to certain employees and cliff vest at the end of a one orthree-year period, subject to the achievement of specific performance criteria measured over such period. The number of PSUs that will ultimately vest is contingent upon the recipient continuing to be in the continuous service of the Company and related entities through the last day of the performance period or the applicable vesting date and a certification by the Compensation Committee that the applicable performance criteria have been met.
Management assesses the probability of achieving the performance criteria on a quarterly basis, and the Compensation Committee determines whether the performance criteria were satisfied, and certifies the award’s vesting percentage, if any, during the fiscal quarter following the end of the applicable performance period. In the first quarter of 2026, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance criteria for the performance period ended December 31, 2025 had been met and certified that the percentage of PSUs that vested with respect to the target amount for the PSUs granted in 2023 was 60% and for PSUs granted in 2025 with cliff vesting at the end of a one-year period was 100%. For PSUs with market conditions, the Company records compensation expense based on the grant date fair value, recognized ratably over the performance and vesting periods of these awards.
The fair value of RSUs and PSUs released during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was$13.8 million.
As of June 30, 2026, total unrecognized compensation cost related to RSUs and PSUs was approximately$26.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years.
ARKO Petroleum Corp. Incentive Compensation Plan
APC adopted the ARKO Petroleum Corp. 2026 Incentive Compensation Plan immediately prior to the APC IPO. Under such plan, the compensation committee of the APC Board has approved the grant of RSUs (the “APC RSUs”) and performance-based RSUs of APC (the “APC PSUs”) to certain employees of APC and to certain of the Company’s employees who are not employed by APC but, on behalf of the Company, provide management services to APC. Vesting periods are assigned to APC PSUs on a grant-by-grant basis at the discretion of the APC Board and except in certain limited situations, all awards are subject to a minimum vesting period of one year. APC will issue new shares of its Class A common stock upon vesting of the APC PSUs.
Additionally, non-employee directors serving on the APC Board receive an annual APC RSU grant andmay receive APC RSUs in lieu of up to 100% of his or her cash fees, which vest immediately, are entitled to dividend equivalent rights relating to dividends declared on APC’s common stock, and will be settled in shares of Class A common stock of APC upon the director’s departure from the APC Board or upon an earlier change in control of APC.
The following table summarizes share activity related to APC RSUs and APC PSUs:
| APC RSUs and APC PSUs | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share (1) | |
|---|---|---|

| Performance-based share adjustment | (100) | 18.36 |
| Nonvested APC RSUs and APC PSUs, June 30, 2026 | 79 | $18.73 |
(1) Based on grant date fair value of APC Class A common stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2026,32 thousand APC RSUs were issued to non-employee directors of APC. These awards are included in the table above under APC RSUs as both granted and released units.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, APC granted approximately 63 thousand APC PSUs to its employees and approximately 123 thousand APC PSUs to the Company’s employees who provide on behalf of the Company services to APC, which, subject to achieving certain performance criteria, could result in the issuance of a number of shares of Class A common stock of APC equal to up to 150% of the number of APC PSUs granted. The APC PSUs were awarded to certain employees and cliff vest at the end of a one orthree-year period, subject to the achievement of specific performance criteria measured over such period. The number of APC PSUs that will ultimately vest is contingent upon the recipient continuing to be in the continuous service of APC or the Company and related entities through the last day of the performance period or the applicable vesting date and a certification by the compensation committee of the APC Board that the applicable performance criteria have been met.
APC’s management assesses the probability of achieving the performance criteria on a quarterly basis, and the compensation committee of the APC Board determines whether the performance criteria were satisfied, and certifies the award’s vesting percentage, if any, during the fiscal quarter following the end of the applicable performance period.
The fair value of APC RSUs released during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was$0.6 million.
As of June 30, 2026, total unrecognized compensation cost related to APC PSUs was approximately$1.3 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.2 years.
Share-Based Compensation Cost
Total share-based compensation cost recorded for employees and members of the Board for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was$6.1 million,$3.7 million,$10.1 million and$7.0 million, respectively, and has been included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

| Ares warrants | — | 1,100 |
The effect of the potential shares of common stock issuable upon vesting of the RSUs and PSUs was antidilutive for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and such shares were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share.
- Fair Value Measurements and Financial Instruments
The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximated their carrying values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 primarily due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. On October 21, 2021, the Company completed a private offering of $450 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”). Based on market trades of the Senior Notes close to June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (Level 1 fair value measurement), the fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated at approximately$381.2 million and$387.4 million, respectively, compared to a gross carrying value of$412 million and $450 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value of the other long-term debt approximated their respective carrying values as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the frequency with which interest rates are reset based on changes in prevailing interest rates. The fair value of fuel futures contracts was determined using NYMEX quoted values.
Until their expiration on December 22, 2025, the public warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Public Warrants”) were measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value methodology for the Public Warrants had been categorized as Level 1. Approximately$0.7 million and$6.5 million were recorded as a component of interest and other financial income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the change in the fair value of the Public Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
Until their expiration on December 22, 2025, the private warrants to purchase the Company’s common stock (the “Private Warrants”) were measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value methodology for the Private Warrants had been categorized as Level 2 because certain inputs for the valuation methodology were unobservable and significant to the fair value adjustment. The Private Warrants have been recorded at fair value based on a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Approximately$0.1 million and$1.0 million were recorded as a component of interest and other financial income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the change in the fair value of the Private Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively.
The founders of Haymaker Acquisition Corp. II are entitled to up to 200 thousand shares of common stock to be issued subject to the number of incremental shares of common stock issued to the holders of the Series A redeemable preferred stock not being higher than certain thresholds (the “Additional Deferred Shares”). The Additional Deferred Shares are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period and amounted to$1.3 million and$0.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The fair value methodology for the Additional Deferred Shares is categorized as Level 3 because inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value adjustment. The Additional Deferred Shares have been recorded at fair value based on a Monte Carlo pricing model with the following material assumptions based on observable and unobservable inputs:
| Expected term (in years) | 0.9 |
|---|---|
| Volatility | 59.0% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 4.0% |
| Stock price | $8.02 |
For the change in the fair value of the Additional Deferred Shares,$(0.6) million,$(0.04) million,$(0.6) million,$0.3 million were recorded as components of interest and other financial income (expense) on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
- Segment Reporting
The reportable segments were determined based on information reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for operational decision-making purposes, and the segment information is prepared on the same basis that the CODM reviews such financial information. The Company’s reportable segments are retail, wholesale, fleet fueling and GPMP. Arie Kotler, the Company’s Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, is the CODM. The CODM utilizes operating income from each segment to assess its operating performance and to make decisions about allocating resources to each segment. In reviewing segment operating income each month, the CODM compares actual results to budgets and prior-year performance. Based on this analysis, the CODM allocates incremental capital spending and prioritizes strategic and business development initiatives across the segments. The CODM also uses this measure to make decisions on budgets, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and management compensation.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies except that rent expenses for each segment are recognized and measured on the basis of cash payments.
The retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores, which includes convenience stores selling fuel products and other merchandise to retail customers. At its retail convenience stores, the Company owns the merchandise and fuel inventory and employs personnel to manage the store.
The wholesale segment supplies fuel to dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For consignment arrangements, the Company retains ownership of the fuel inventory at the site, is responsible for the pricing of the fuel to the end consumer and shares the gross profit generated from the sale of fuel with the consignment dealers. For cost plus arrangements, the Company sells 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 the Company’s total fuel costs plus the cost of transportation, taxes and a fixed margin, with the Company generally retaining any prompt pay discounts and rebates.
The fleet fueling segment includes the operation of proprietary and third-party cardlock locations (unstaffed fueling locations), and commissions from the sales of fuel using proprietary fuel cards that provide customers access to a nationwide network of fueling sites.
The GPMP segment primarily includes the inter-segment sale and supply of fuel to substantially all of the Company’s sites that sell fuel in the retail and wholesale segments, and beginning February 1, 2026, to locations in the fleet fueling segment, at the GPMP segment’s cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin (through December 31, 2025,5.0 cents per gallon;6.0 cents per gallon thereafter), and charges an inter-segment fixed fee (through December 31, 2025,5.0 cents per gallon;6.0 cents per gallon thereafter) primarily, prior to February 1, 2026, to sites in the fleet fueling segment that were not supplied by the GPMP segment.
The “All Other” segment includes the results of non-reportable segments that do not meet both quantitative and qualitative criteria as defined under ASC 280, Segment Reporting.
The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Inter-segment expenses were included within the amounts shown; however, the fuel costs in the retail, wholesale and fleet fueling segments exclude the fixed margin or fixed fee paid to the GPMP segment for the cost of fuel.
The majority of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, net other expenses, net interest and other financial expenses, income taxes and minor other income items are not allocated to the segments. Other segment expenses include utilities, telephone, upkeep and taxes, insurance, supplies, advertising, and certain other expenses. Other segment expenses in the GPMP segment also include general and administrative expenses, and depreciation and amortization.
With the exception of goodwill, assets and liabilities relevant to the reportable segments are generally not assigned to any particular segment, but rather, managed and reviewed by the CODM at the consolidated level. All reportable segment revenues were generated from sites within the U.S. and substantially all of the Company’s assets were within the U.S.
Inter-segment transactions primarily included the sale of fuel to substantially all of the Company’s sites that sell fuel in all of its segments, and until February 1, 2026, fixed fee charges primarily to sites that sold fuel in the fleet fueling segment that were not supplied by the GPMP segment until then. The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the interim financial statements.

- Commitments and Contingencies
Environmental Liabilities and Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain federal and state environmental laws and regulations associated with sites at which it stores and sells fuel and other fuel products, as well as locations owned, leased or where there is a contractual obligation that results in the Company being the tank operator or owner but are operated by dealers. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, environmental obligations totaled$10.2 million and$10.6 million, respectively, and were recorded as other current and non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Environmental reserves have been established on an undiscounted basis based upon internal and external estimates in regard to each site. It is reasonably possible that these amounts will be adjusted in the future due to changes in estimates of environmental remediation costs, the timing of the payments or changes in federal and/or state environmental regulations.
The Company maintains certain environmental insurance policies and participates in various state underground storage tank funds that entitle the Company to be reimbursed for remediation costs. Estimated amounts that will be recovered from its insurance policies and various state funds for the exposures totaled$5.9 million and$6.7 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and were recorded as other current and non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Retirement Obligation
As part of the fuel operations at its retail convenience stores and proprietary cardlock locations, at most of the owned and leased dealer locations, at certain other dealer locations and third-party cardlock locations where the Company owns storage tanks or otherwise agreed to be contractually liable for tank maintenance, there are underground, and in certain cases, aboveground, storage tanks for which the Company is responsible. The future cost to remove a storage tank is recognized over the estimated remaining useful life of the storage tank, or if sooner, the termination of the applicable lease. A liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset is recorded at the time a storage tank is installed. The estimated liability is based upon historical experience in removing storage tanks, estimated tank useful lives, external estimates as to the cost to remove the tanks in the future and current and anticipated federal and state regulatory requirements governing the removal of tanks, and discounted. The Company has recorded an asset retirement obligation of$90.3 million and$89.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The current portion of the asset retirement obligation is included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Legal Matters
The Company is a party to various legal actions, as both plaintiff and defendant, in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s management believes, based on estimations with support from legal counsel for these matters, that these legal actions are routine in nature and incidental to the operation of the Company’s business and that it is not reasonably probable that the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

On August 4, 2026, APC entered into an asset purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain affiliates of U.S. Petroleum Partners, LLC (“USPP”), a vertically integrated fuel supply and distribution platform headquartered in Royal Oak, Michigan and serving customers throughout the Great Lakes region, pursuant to which USPP has agreed to sell to APC substantially all of its assets (the “Acquired Business”), and APC will assume from USPP certain liabilities in respect of the Acquired Business. The Acquired Business includes:
The right to supply fuel to more than 400 dealer locations;
Two fuel terminals in Novi, Michigan and Toledo, Ohio connected to the Buckeye Pipeline system; and
A fleet of more than 50 transportation trucks and trailers.
The total consideration for the transaction at closing as set forth in the Purchase Agreement consists of approximately $205 million in cash plus the value of inventoryat closing, and $30 million in APC’s Class A common stock (the “Consideration Shares”), which will be held in escrow until the True-Up Date (as defined below). APC expects to finance the cash consideration through borrowings under its existing lines of credit.
Subject to the Acquired Business achieving certain EBITDA-based financial targets for the 12-month period ending on the 12-month anniversary of the last day of the calendar quarter during which the closing occurs (the “True-Up Date”), some or all of the Consideration Shares, together with dividends payable on the Consideration Shares (the “Earn-Out Payment”) may be payable to USPP. The Earn-Out Payment is subject to adjustments, including in some instances recoupment of up to $5.0 million of the cash consideration payable at closing, if the Acquired Business does not achieve $31.7 million of EBITDA and $2.2 million of EBITDA generated by certain fuel related components, both as defined in the Purchase Agreement. Additionally, the payment to USPP at the True-Up Date may increase (payable in cash or shares of APC Class A Common Stock, at APC’s election), based on the Acquired Business achieving results greater than such financial targets. The Consideration Shares and any shares of APC Class A Common Stock issued in respect of the Earn-Out Payment will be valued based on the daily volume weighted average price of the APC Class A common stock for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable date requiring the issuance thereof.
A portion of the Earn-Out Payment will remain in escrow for a period of 18-months post-closing to satisfy USPP’s indemnification obligations under the Purchase Agreement, if any. Any Consideration Shares, together with all dividends payable on the Consideration Shares, held in escrow and not ultimately payable to USPP in accordance with the Purchase Agreement will be returned to APC.
The Purchase Agreement additionally provides for the payment of consideration to USPP if APC, in its sole discretion and on terms acceptable to APC, pursues and acquires certain businesses identified by USPP, none of which potential acquisitions is currently probable.
Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, APC has agreed to prepare and file a registration statement with the SEC, registering for resale by USPP shares of APC Class A common stock issued to USPP under the Purchase Agreement.
The closing of the transaction is subject to fulfillment of customary closing conditions, including the absence of legal restraints and the termination or expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Each party’s obligation to consummate the transaction is also subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other parties (subject to certain exceptions) and the performance in all material respects of the other parties’ respective covenants under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement contains certain termination rights for both APC, on the one hand, and USPP, on the other hand. APC currently expects the closing to occur later in 2026. There is no certainty that the transaction will close.
