ARKO Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. General
ARKO Corp. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation whose common stock, par value 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.
2. 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
its annual 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 million, million, million and 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 is one 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.

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.
- ARKO Petroleum Corp. (APC)
APC IPO
APC was formed in July 2025 as a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Arko Convenience Stores, LLC (“ACS”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. On February 13, 2026, APC completed the APC IPO and issued 11,111,111 shares of its Class A common stock at a price to the public of $18.00 per share. In addition, APC granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 1,666,666 shares of APC’s Class A common stock to cover over-allotments, if any, at $18.00 per share, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On March 5, 2026, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 1,459,112 shares of Class A common stock, and on March 9, 2026, APC issued and sold such shares to the underwriters. The total net proceeds from the APC IPO were approximately $206.8 million. The Company owns 35,000,000 shares of APC’s Class B common stock, representing 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. APC’s Class A common stock is listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “APC.” The Class B common stock is not publicly listed or traded.
In connection with the closing of the APC IPO, the Company completed a series of transactions whereby the Company (i) transferred certain real estate and equipment assets to APC, along with assigning, leasing or subleasing the leasehold interest in certain properties, (ii) contributed all of the issued and outstanding equity interests in certain subsidiaries to APC, and (iii) entered into, or amended, various agreements, including agreements pursuant to which the GPMP segment will continue to be the exclusive supplier of fuel to substantially all of the Company’s retail sites. Additionally, in connection with such transactions, certain of the contributed subsidiaries transferred to GPM certain real estate assets related to the retail segment and APC entered into certain subleases, as the sublessee, and master leases, as cotenant or a sublessee, with GPM for the sites on which APC operates.
Voting Rights of APC Common Stock
Under APC’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, holders of Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share, and the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to five votes per share, in each case on all matters submitted to a vote of APC’s stockholders. Shares of Class B common stock may only be owned by the Company and its affiliates (other than APC).
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. APC’s board of directors (the “APC Board”) will determine the amount, timing, and payment of any dividend in its sole discretion, taking into account discretionary cash flow, reserves for working capital and investment capital expenditures, debt service, the prudent conduct of APC’s business, and other factors it deems relevant. APC’s objective is to pay to its common stockholders a consistent and growing cash dividend that is sustainable on a long-term 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 APC Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share of common stock, to be paid on August 28, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 18, 2026.

Financing Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”)
In connection with the consummation of the APC IPO, GPM’s financing arrangement with PNC, that provided a line of credit for purposes of financing working capital, was separated into two distinct credit facilities. The GPM facility, to which certain of GPM’s subsidiaries are also parties (as amended, the “PNC Credit Agreement”), was amended and restated to, among other things, remove APC’s subsidiaries as co-borrowers, reduce the principal amount available thereunder from $140 million to $56 million (the “GPM Line of Credit”), and extend the maturity date from December 22, 2027, to the earliest of: (i) February 13, 2031, (ii) the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes (as defined in Note 10), or any permitted refinancing thereof, subject to certain conditions, and (iii) the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Capital One Line of Credit (as defined below).

M&T Bank Credit Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the APC IPO, GPM’s financing arrangement with M&T Bank, which provides an equipment line of credit and real estate term loans (the “M&T Credit Agreement”), was amended to remove APC’s subsidiaries as borrowers or guarantors thereunder, and APC’s assets that previously served as collateral under the M&T Credit Agreement were released from M&T’s security interest.
In addition, on February 11, 2026, GPM refinanced and consolidated its real estate loans and certain of its borrowing under the equipment line of credit under the M&T Credit Agreement into a term loan with an aggregate principal balance of $73.0 million (the “M&T Term Loans”) and a maturity date of February 10, 2031, and $8.3 million aggregate amount borrowed under the equipment line of credit.

Financing Agreement with a Syndicate of Banks led by Capital One, National Association
The Company’s subsidiary, GPM Petroleum LP (“GPMP”), has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Capital One, National Association, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (the “Capital One Line of Credit”). At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $1.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain terms as detailed in the Capital One Line of Credit. The Capital One Line of Credit is available for general GPMP purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions. The Capital One Line of Credit matures on May 5, 2028.
On January 13, 2026, GPMP entered into an amendment to the Capital One Line of Credit, and APC used $206.7 million of the net proceeds from the APC IPO to repay indebtedness outstanding under the Capital One Line of Credit. APC and certain of its subsidiaries entered into certain pledge and security agreements whereby the Capital One Line of Credit is secured by GPM Empire LLC’s (“GPME”) interest in, and proceeds from, APC’s agreements with the Company and APC’s fuel supply agreements with certain of its fuel supply partners and a pledge of APC’s equity interests in GPMP.
In July 2026, GPMP drew an additional $4.0 million on the Capital One Line of Credit to purchase real estate at certain dealer locations.

The amount and timing of dividends payable on shares of common stock are within the sole discretion of the Board, which will evaluate dividend payments within the context of the Company’s overall capital allocation strategy on an ongoing basis, giving consideration to its current and forecasted earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors. As a result of the aggregate amount of dividends paid on the common stock through June 30, 2026, the conversion price of the Company’s Series A convertible preferred stock has been adjusted from $12.00 to $11.49 per share, as were the threshold share prices in the Additional Deferred Shares agreement (as defined in Note 10).
The Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, to be paid on August 31, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 20, 2026.
8. Share-Based Compensation
ARKO Corp. Incentive Compensation Plan
The Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) has approved the grant of non-qualified stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), and shares of common stock to certain employees, and non-employees under the ARKO Corp. 2020 Incentive Compensation Plan (as amended, the “ARKO Plan”). Stock options granted under the ARKO Plan expire no later than ten years from the date of grant and the exercise price may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of grant. Vesting periods are assigned to stock options and RSUs on a grant-by-grant basis at the discretion of the Board, and except in certain limited situations, all awards are subject to a minimum vesting period of one year. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options and vesting of RSUs.
Additionally, non-employee directors receive an annual RSU grant and may receive RSUs in lieu of up to 100% of his or her cash fees. These RSUs vest immediately, will be settled in common stock upon the director’s departure from the Board or upon an earlier change in control of the Company, and for grants on or after June 2026, RSUs are entitled to dividend equivalent rights relating to dividends declared and paid on common stock.
Stock Options
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, thousand stock options vested. There was no other activity related to stock options during the six months ended June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, all issued stock options had vested and there was no unrecognized compensation cost.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
The following table summarizes share activity related to RSUs and performance-based RSUs (“PSUs”):
| Line item | RSUs and PSUs | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share |
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | ||
| Nonvested RSUs and PSUs, December 31, 2025 | 5,945 | $5.40 |
| Granted | 3,531 | 6.42 |
| Released | (2,144) | 6.89 |
| Forfeited | (57) | 6.30 |
| Performance-based shares and written put option adjustment | (16) | 5.03 |
| Nonvested RSUs and PSUs, June 30, 2026 | 7,259 | $5.47 |
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, 149 thousand RSUs were issued to non-employee directors. These awards are included in the table above under RSUs as both granted and released units. There were 579 thousand and 430 thousand RSUs issued to non-employee directors outstanding as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company granted 1.5 million PSUs, which, subject to achieving certain performance criteria, could result in the issuance of a number of shares of common stock equal to up to 150% of the number of PSUs granted. The PSUs were awarded to certain employees and cliff vest at the end of a one or three-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.

|---|---|---|
| Stock options | 1,306 | 1,306 |
| Series A redeemable preferred stock | 8,703 | 8,613 |
| Public and Private warrants | — | 17,333 |
| 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.
10. 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:
June 30,2026
| 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.
11. 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.

12. 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 million and 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 million and 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 million and 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.
13. Related Party Transactions
There have been no material changes to the description of related party transactions as set forth in the annual financial statements.
14. Subsequent Events
Potential Acquisition
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 inventory at 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.
Financing Agreement with PNC
On August 4, 2026, GPM entered into an amendment to the GPM Line of Credit to increase the principal amount available thereunder from $56 million to $130 million, resulting in total aggregate availability of $214 million under the lines of credit with PNC.

Description of Segments
Retail Segment
Our retail segment includes the operation of a chain of retail stores, which includes convenience stores selling fuel products and merchandise to retail customers, from which we generate a significant portion of our revenue and a large proportion of our profitability. At our convenience stores, we own the merchandise and fuel inventory and employ personnel to manage the store.
As of June 30, 2026, we operated the stores under more than 25 regional store brands including 1-Stop, Admiral, Apple Market®, BreadBox, Corner Mart, Dixie Mart, ExpressStop, E-Z Mart®, fas mart®, fastmarket®, Flash Market, Handy Mart, Jetz, Jiffi Stop®, Jiffy Stop, Li’l Cricket, Market Express, Next Door Store®, Pride, Roadrunner Markets, Rose Mart, Rstore, Scotchman®, shore stop®, Speedy’s, SpeedyQ, Town Star, Uncle’s, Village Pantry® and Young’s.
We operate our retail stores centrally with consistent marketing, merchandising and assortment strategies across our brands, but we occasionally offer regional items based on consumer demand in select markets. We believe this approach increases operational efficiencies while preserving flexibility. Our marketing initiatives and merchandising and assortment strategies are centered around offering our customers an assortment of products with an attractive value proposition. Our retail offering includes a wide array of grab-n-go hot and cold prepared foods and dispensed beverages, take home packaged beverages and beer, candy, salty snacks, bakery
and packaged sweet snacks, general and seasonal merchandise, cigarettes, and other tobacco products such as moist tobacco, vape, nicotine pouches, and cigars. We have various foodservice offerings at approximately 925 stores, with options including hot and cold grab-n-go foods, such as bakery, Nathan’s® hot dogs and Tornado® roller grill items. We have approximately 140 stores with delis offering a more robust foodservice menu that includes fried chicken, pizza, breakfast sandwiches, chicken tenders, potato wedges and more. We supplement our foodservice offering with approximately 85 quick service major national brand restaurants such as Dunkin’ and Subway. Additionally, we offer a number of traditional convenience store services, including lottery, prepaid products, gift cards, money orders, ATMs, skill gaming, Bitcoin® ATMs and other ancillary product and service offerings. We sell fuel at 1,034 of our retail sites, and we had 285 electric vehicle (“EV”) chargers at 96 of our locations. We also generate revenue from car washes at approximately 65 of our locations.
Wholesale Segment
Our wholesale segment supplies fuel to gas stations operated by third-party dealers, sub-wholesalers, and bulk and spot purchasers, on either a cost plus or consignment basis. For cost plus arrangements, the dealers, sub-wholesalers and bulk and spot purchasers, purchase fuel from us, and we earn a fixed mark-up above our cost. 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, taxes and our fixed margin.
Furthermore, we generally retain any prompt pay discounts and rebates from our fuel suppliers. 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 fuel by the dealer based on the terms of the relevant contract. In certain cases, gross profit is split based on a percentage and in others, we pay a fixed fee per gallon to the dealer and retain the remainder of the profit.
Fleet Fueling Segment
Our 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.
GPMP Segment
Our GPMP segment primarily engages in inter-segment transactions of wholesale distribution of fuel to substantially all of our sites that sell fuel in the retail and wholesale segments, and beginning February 1, 2026, to locations in the fleet fueling segment. Our GPMP segment sells and supplies fuel at its cost of fuel (including taxes and transportation) plus a fixed margin to such supplied sites and charges an inter-segment fixed fee primarily, prior to February 1, 2026, to sites in the fleet fueling segment that were not supplied by the GPMP segment. The effect of these inter-segment transactions was eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Transformation Plan Updates and Initiatives
Remodels and New-to-Industry (“NTI”) Stores
Our multi-year transformation plan (the “Transformation Plan”) includes targeted capital allocation toward strategic sub-segments of our retail stores, with the goal of increasing traffic and improving profitability. In June of 2025, we launched our new format fas craves flagship location showcasing our key strategic priority to offer food that is relevant, delicious, and affordable and do so within stores that are completely remodeled with modernized interior and exterior designs, with layouts intended to provide a strong focus on our food offerings. fas craves food elevates our assortment of hot and cold grab-and-go food and dispensed beverages.
Since the launch of our flagship location, we have completed several additional remodels and have approximately 25 additional remodels planned, all which feature the fas craves food and beverage elements. We also plan to expand components of fas craves food and beverage to certain non-remodel stores where space permits prior to remodeling. Complementing our retail remodeling initiative, in the first six months of 2026, we opened three new-to-industry (“NTI”) retail stores, and we plan to open three NTI Dunkin’ stores in 2026.
We are targeting opening 20 new fleet fueling locations during 2026, of which one opened in March 2026, two opened in July 2026, and 17 are in process. We anticipate that these new fleet fueling locations will have a positive impact on our results of operations given the attractive, durable cash flow profile of our fleet fueling business.
fas REWARDS Loyalty Program
As of June 30, 2026, we had approximately 2.6 million enrolled members in our fas REWARDS loyalty program, representing a year over year increase of approximately 9.9% from the end of the second quarter of 2025. Our fas REWARDS loyalty program is available in all of our retail stores and offers enrolled loyalty members the most value in our stores, in-app member only deals not available without the app, and the ability to earn points that can be redeemed for either fuel or merchandise savings. Other in-app features include the ability to convert earned points to fas BUCKS, which can be spent like cash on most merchandise categories in our stores, and, as part of our Fueling America’s Future promotion, stackable fuel cents off up to $2.50 off per gallon (up to 20 gallons) to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
In the first quarter of 2026, we launched our updated fas REWARDS loyalty program app, which includes personalized features such as easy enrollment, an employee hub, store locators with individual member fuel pricing, Fueling America’s Future deals, value meals, age verified offers for tobacco and alcohol, and gaming.
Site Conversion Strategy (Dealerization)
Starting in the middle of 2024, as part of our Transformation Plan, we commenced leveraging our unique, multi-segment operating model to expand our wholesale fuel distribution network by converting a meaningful number of retail stores within our retail segment to dealer locations within our wholesale segment. Conversions of certain retail stores benefit both our retail and wholesale segments, as these sites have yielded, and we expect will continue to yield, greater profitability once converted. In such cases, we realize higher profit from ongoing fuel supply agreements and rental income than from continued operation of these stores in our retail
segment. These conversions also allow us to focus on and better prioritize future investments in our remaining retail stores. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we converted 21 retail stores to dealer locations for a total of 62 stores converted during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and a total of 471 stores converted since the beginning of this initiative. We expect to continue to convert a meaningful number of additional stores throughout 2026 and into 2027. These conversions have resulted in approximately $2.7 million, $8.4 million and $15.6 million in incremental operating income before general and administrative expenses for the three month, six month, and 12-month periods ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
As we proceed with our Transformation Plan, we may incur associated non-recurring expenses, including personnel costs, divestiture costs, professional services fees, and losses on disposal of assets and impairment charges.
Pricing and Procurement Strategies
We continue to increase our focus on both our pricing and procurement strategies across our retail stores to support ongoing merchandise margin rate growth, including using customer centric data-driven decisions to expand our six core destination merchandise categories, which are packaged beverages, candy, salty snacks, packaged sweet snacks, alternative snacks and beer. Because our core destination merchandise categories represent a high concentration of our merchandise contribution, we focus on marketing and merchandising initiatives within these categories because we believe that they will have the greatest impact on our performance.
Trends Impacting Our Business
We achieved strong store growth over the last decade, driven primarily by a highly successful acquisition strategy, inclusive of 26 completed acquisitions from 2013 through June 30, 2026. Our strategic acquisitions, as well as the conversion of a meaningful number of retail stores to dealer locations, have had, and may continue to have, a significant impact on our reported results, which can make period to period comparisons difficult.
The following tables provide a history of our acquisitions, site conversions and site closings, including as part of our Transformation Plan, for the periods noted, for the retail, wholesale and fleet fueling segments:

The number of fuel gallons we sell and the related fuel margin that we earn per gallon significantly impact our results of
operations. Fuel gallons sold are impacted by changes in the number of locations, macroeconomic environment, weather, crude oil pricing and other factors.
The cost of our main products, gasoline and diesel fuel, is greatly impacted by the wholesale cost of fuel in the U.S. Fuel margins for our retail stores, our fleet fueling locations and consignment agent locations can change rapidly because they are influenced by many factors, including: the wholesale cost of fuel; interruptions in supply caused by severe weather; supply chain disruptions; refinery mechanical failures; and competition in the local markets in which we operate. We pass wholesale fuel cost changes to our fuel supply dealers and attempt to pass wholesale fuel cost changes to our retail, fleet fueling and consignment customers through price changes; however, we are not always able to do so. We tend to realize lower fuel margins when the cost of fuel increases gradually over a longer period and higher fuel margins when the cost of fuel declines or is more volatile over a shorter period.
During the first half of 2026, global crude oil and refined product markets were impacted by heightened geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. These developments contributed to significant volatility in crude oil prices and periodic supply disruptions, including disruptions to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. During the second quarter of 2026, market conditions remained highly dynamic as developments related to the conflict, including sporadic reopenings of the Strait of Hormuz and the resumption of oil flows, contributed to fluctuations in crude oil prices and changing expectations regarding global supply availability. These market conditions contributed to variability in wholesale fuel costs, retail gasoline prices, and fuel demand patterns across many of our markets. While retail price increases generally lag behind changes in wholesale costs, the magnitude and timing of the fluctuations during the six months ended June 30, 2026 positively affected fuel margins during that period. However, continued geopolitical uncertainty and evolving global supply dynamics may continue to contribute to volatility in fuel prices and margins in future periods.
We continually monitor market conditions and adjust pricing strategies in response to changes in commodity costs, competitive dynamics, and consumer demand. Because market and geopolitical conditions from time to time constrain the supply of fuel, including diesel fuel in particular, we maintain terminal storage of diesel fuel for short-term supply needs for our fleet fueling sites.
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 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 new or 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.
We also operate in a highly competitive retail convenience market that includes businesses with operations and services that are similar to those that we provide. We believe that convenience stores managed by individual operators that offer branded or non-branded fuel are also significant competitors in the local markets in which we operate. Often, operators of both chains and individual stores compete by selling unbranded fuel at lower retail prices relative to the market. The convenience store industry is also subject to competition from other retail sectors including grocery stores, large warehouse retail stores, dollar stores and pharmacies.
Seasonality
Our business is seasonal, and our operating income in the second and third quarters has historically been significantly greater than in the first and fourth quarters because of the generally favorable climate and seasonal buying patterns of our customers.
Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
The period-to-period comparisons of our results of operations contained in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation have been prepared using our condensed consolidated unaudited interim financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”). The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Quarterly Financial Statements. All figures for fuel costs, fuel contribution and fuel margin per gallon exclude the fixed margin or fixed fee paid to the GPMP segment for the cost of fuel, which are intercompany charges by the GPMP segment.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $396.9 million, or 25.3%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in fuel revenue was attributable primarily to an increase in average price of fuel compared to the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by fewer gallons sold in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025 due to a challenging macroeconomic environment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, merchandise revenue decreased by $52.7 million, or 13.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations, as well as a decrease in same store merchandise revenues.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, other revenues, net increased by $3.3 million, or 11.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the net impact of additional income from retail stores converted to dealer locations.

For the three months ended June 30, 2026, other expenses (income), net increased $20.2 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 primarily due to a gain of approximately $20.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2025 related to the expiration of a real estate purchase option received in 2021 in connection with our acquisition of certain ExpressStop convenience stores that was accounted for as a sale-leaseback.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, operating income was $30.4 million compared to $56.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the one-time gain on the aforementioned sale-leaseback recorded in the second quarter of 2025, lower fuel contribution from comparable wholesale sites and fleet fueling locations and an increase in same store site operating expenses, offset by the net benefit of the retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, interest and other financial expenses, net decreased by $5.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower average debt balances, primarily as a result of the use of the net proceeds from the APC IPO to repay approximately $206.7 million of the indebtedness under our Capital One Line of Credit (as defined below), a gain of $2.5 million recorded related to the repurchase of $37.9 million of Senior Notes (as defined below) in the second quarter of 2026, and lower average interest rates in the second quarter of 2026 as compared to the second quarter of 2025, which were offset by income of $0.7 million recorded in the second quarter of 2025 for fair value adjustments related to our public and private warrants which expired at the end of 2025.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, income tax expense was $6.9 million and $17.1 million, respectively.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Retail Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $118.9 million, or 15.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in fuel revenue was attributable to a $1.12 per gallon increase in the average retail price of fuel in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to market factors. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of 25.1 million gallons from retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations, as well as a decrease in same store gallons sold of 5.7%, or 12.0 million gallons, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment including high retail gas prices.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, merchandise revenue decreased by $52.7 million, or 13.2%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in merchandise revenue of $48.7 million from retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations. Same store merchandise sales decreased $6.0 million, or 1.7%, for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic and soft consumer environment. More than half of the decline in same store merchandise revenue was caused by lower revenues from cigarettes.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, other revenues, net decreased by $1.7 million, or 11.7%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, due to a decrease in other revenues from retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations.
Retail Operating Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, fuel contribution decreased by $8.4 million, or 7.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $9.3 million decrease in fuel contribution related to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations compared to the second quarter of 2025, which was partially offset by a same store fuel contribution increase of $0.5 million, or 0.5%.
Same store fuel margin per gallon for the second quarter of 2026 increased to 48.7 cents per gallon from 45.7 cents per gallon for the second quarter of 2025, primarily as a result of significant volatility in the fuel market due to the geopolitical environment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, merchandise contribution decreased by $14.0 million, or 10.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, while merchandise margin increased to 34.7% from 33.6% in the second quarter of 2025. The decrease in merchandise contribution was primarily due to a $14.0 million decrease related to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations. Same store merchandise contribution decreased by $0.6 million and same store merchandise margin was 34.7% and 34.3% in the second quarter of 2026 and the second quarter of 2025, respectively.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, site operating expenses decreased by $16.6 million, or 9.4%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to $25.8 million of reduced expenses related to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations, partially offset by an increase in same store operating expenses of $8.3 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to higher credit card fees associated with elevated fuel prices, insurance, personnel costs and rent.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Retail Revenues
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $55.3 million, or 3.8%, compared to the first half of 2025. The increase in fuel revenue was attributable to a $0.65 per gallon increase in the average retail price of fuel in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to market factors. This increase was offset by a decrease of 50.2 million gallons from retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations, as well as a decrease in same store gallons sold of approximately 4.5%, or 18.4 million gallons, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment as well as severe weather conditions in the first quarter of 2026 in several markets in which we operate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, merchandise revenue decreased by $101.8 million, or 13.5%, compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in merchandise revenue of $96.7 million from retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations. In addition, same store merchandise sales decreased $7.6 million, or 1.2%, for the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025 reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment as well as severe weather conditions in the first quarter of 2026 in several markets in which we operate. Approximately 80% of the decline in same store merchandise revenue was caused by lower revenues from cigarettes.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other revenues, net decreased by $3.6 million, or 12.2%, compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in other revenues from retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations.
Retail Operating Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, fuel contribution decreased $0.4 million, or 0.2%, compared to the same period in 2025. A $17.1 million decrease related to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations compared to the first half of 2025 was offset by a same store fuel contribution increase of $15.7 million, or 9.1%. Same store fuel margin per gallon for the first half of 2026 increased to 48.4 cents per gallon from 42.3 cents per gallon for the first half of 2025, primarily as a result of significant volatility in the fuel market due to the geopolitical environment.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, merchandise contribution decreased $28.0 million, or 11.1%, compared to the same period in 2025, while merchandise margin increased to 34.3% compared to 33.4% in the prior period. The decrease in merchandise contribution was primarily due to a $27.7 million decrease related to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations. Same store merchandise contribution decreased by $1.2 million and same store merchandise margin was 34.3% and 34.1% in the first half of 2026 and the first half of 2025, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, site operating expenses decreased $38.0 million, or 10.7%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due $52.5 million of reduced expenses related to retail stores closed or converted to dealer locations, which were partially offset by an increase in same store operating expenses of $13.0 million, or 4.4%, related to higher credit card fees associated with elevated fuel prices, personnel costs, insurance, utilities and rent.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
Wholesale Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $221.6 million, or 31.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in the average price of fuel in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, partially offset by a 11.7 million, or 4.6%, decrease in gallons sold. Of total gallons sold, the retail stores converted to dealer locations contributed 17.1 million incremental gallons, which were fully offset by lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, other revenues, net increased by $4.5 million, or 35.9%, compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to additional rental income from the retail stores converted to dealer locations.
Wholesale Operating Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, wholesale operating income increased by $1.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2025 as a result of additional operating income from retail stores converted to dealer locations, which was partially offset by reduced operating income at comparable wholesale sites. An increase in other revenues, net, combined with an increase in fuel contribution of $0.9 million was partially offset by an increase in site operating expenses of $4.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025. These increases were primarily due to the retail stores we converted to dealer locations.
At fuel supply locations, fuel contribution increased by $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, due to incremental contribution from the retail stores converted to dealer locations. At fuel supply locations, fuel margin per gallon increased, primarily due to increased prompt pay discounts related to higher fuel costs.
At consignment agent locations, fuel contribution decreased $1.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, due to reduced fuel contribution at comparable wholesale sites which was partially offset by $0.5 million of incremental contribution from the retail stores converted to dealer locations. At consignment agent locations, fuel margin per gallon decreased, primarily due to margin compression during the second quarter of 2026, as market prices declined more quickly than our weighted average inventory cost.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
Wholesale Revenues
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $265.4 million, or 20.0%, compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to an increase in the average price of fuel in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025, partially offset by a 5.3 million, or 1.1%, decrease in gallons sold. Of total gallons sold, the retail stores converted to dealer locations contributed 35.9 million incremental gallons, which were fully offset by lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites, reflecting the challenging macroeconomic environment, as well as severe weather conditions in the first quarter of 2026 in several markets in which we operate.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, other revenues, net increased by $10.7 million, or 46.7%, compared to the first half of 2025, primarily due to additional rental income from the retail stores converted to dealer locations.
Wholesale Operating Income
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, wholesale operating income increased by $6.0 million compared to the first half of 2025 as a result of additional operating income from retail stores converted to dealer locations which were partially offset by reduced operating income at comparable wholesale sites. An increase in other revenues, net, combined with an increase in fuel contribution of approximately $3.8 million was partially offset by an increase in site operating expenses of $9.3 million in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025. These increases were primarily due to retail stores converted to dealer locations.
At fuel supply locations, fuel contribution increased by $3.2 million for the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025 due to $3.5 million of incremental contribution from the retail stores converted to dealer locations, which was partially offset by lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites. Fuel margin per gallon increased, primarily as a result of significant volatility in the fuel markets due to the geopolitical environment and increased prompt pay discounts related to higher fuel costs.
At consignment agent locations, fuel contribution increased by $0.5 million for the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025 due to incremental contribution of $1.0 million from retail stores converted to dealer locations, which was partially offset by lower volumes at comparable wholesale sites. Fuel margin per gallon increased primarily as a result of significant volatility in the fuel and consumer markets due to the geopolitical environment and increased prompt pay discounts related to higher fuel costs net of margin compression during the second quarter of 2026, as market prices declined more quickly than our weighted average inventory cost.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Three Months Ended June 30, 2025
GPMP Revenues
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $500.2 million, or 39.8%, compared to the second quarter of 2025. The increase in fuel revenue was primarily attributable to an increase in the average price of fuel compared to the second quarter of 2025, which was partially offset by a decrease in gallons sold. The increase in gallons sold as a result of gallons in the fleet fueling segment which transitioned to a fixed margin beginning February 1, 2026 was fully offset by fewer gallons sold to the retail same stores and to comparable wholesale sites.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, other revenues, net were similar. The inter-segment fixed fee charged to sites in the fleet fueling segment that prior to February 1, 2026 were not supplied by the GPMP segment was transitioned to a fixed margin and reflected in fuel revenue – inter-segment beginning February 1, 2026. As a result, other revenues, net – inter-segment decreased in the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025.
GPMP Operating Income
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, fuel contribution increased by $4.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in the fixed margin from 5.0 cents per gallon sold for the second quarter of 2025 to 6.0 cents per gallon sold for the second quarter of 2026, as well as the transition of sites in the fleet fueling segment to a fixed margin from a fixed fee beginning February 1, 2026, partially offset by fewer gallons sold to the retail same stores and to comparable wholesale sites.
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2025, and depreciation and amortization expenses remained consistent with the second quarter of 2025.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 versus Six Months Ended June 30, 2025
GPMP Revenues
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, fuel revenue increased by $570.2 million, or 23.5%, compared to the first half of 2025. The increase in fuel revenue was attributable to an increase in the average price of fuel compared to the first half of 2025 and greater gallons sold in the six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of gallons in the fleet fueling segment, which transitioned to a fixed margin beginning February 1, 2026, partially offset by fewer gallons sold to the retail same stores and to comparable wholesale sites.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, other revenues, net, were similar. The inter-segment fixed fee charged to sites in the fleet fueling segment that prior to February 1, 2026 were not supplied by the GPMP segment was transitioned to a fixed margin and reflected in fuel revenue – inter-segment beginning February 1, 2026. As a result, other revenues, net – inter-segment decreased in the first half of 2026 compared to the first half of 2025.
GPMP Operating Income
Fuel contribution increased by $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in the fixed margin from 5.0 cents per gallon sold for the first half of 2025 to 6.0 cents per gallon sold for the first half of 2026, as well as the transition of sites in the fleet fueling segment to a fixed margin from a fixed fee beginning February 1, 2026, partially offset by fewer gallons sold to the retail same stores and to comparable wholesale sites.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.6 million compared to the first half of 2025, and depreciation and amortization expenses remained consistent with the first half of 2025.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
We disclose certain measures on a “same store basis,” which is a non-GAAP measure. Information disclosed on a “same store basis” excludes the results of any store that is not a “same store” for the applicable period. A store is considered a same store beginning in the first quarter in which the store had a full quarter of 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. Neither this measure nor those described below should be considered an alternative to measurements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”).
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 stores converted to dealer locations 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.
We define EBITDA as net income including net income attributable to non-controlling interests before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA further adjusts EBITDA by excluding the gain or loss on disposal of assets, impairment charges, acquisition and divestiture costs, share-based compensation expense, other non-cash items, certain litigation expenses and other unusual or non-recurring charges. Both EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures.
We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for operational and financial decision-making and believe these measures are useful in evaluating our performance because they eliminate certain items that we do not consider indicators of our operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are also used by many of our investors, securities analysts, and other interested parties in evaluating our operational and financial performance across reporting periods. We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors by allowing an understanding of key measures that we use internally for operational decision-making, budgeting, evaluating acquisition targets, and assessing our operating performance.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as alternatives to any financial measure presented in accordance with GAAP, including net income. These non-GAAP measures have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered in isolation, or as substitutes for the analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, same store measures, comparable wholesale sites, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by us, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. It therefore may not be possible to compare our use of these non-GAAP financial measures with those used by other companies.
The following table contains a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

| Non-cash rent expense (i) | $2,317 | $3,103 | $4,697 | $6,410 |
(a)
Eliminates costs incurred that are directly attributable to business acquisitions and divestitures (including conversion of retail stores to dealer locations) and salaries of employees whose primary job function is to execute our acquisition and divestiture strategy and facilitate integration of acquired operations.
(b)
Eliminates one-time costs incurred related to the APC IPO, which closed on February 13, 2026.
(c)
Eliminates the non-cash loss from the sale or disposal of property and equipment, the loss recognized upon the sale of related leased assets and impairment charges on property and equipment and right-of-use assets related to closed and non-performing sites. Also includes a $20.8 million gain recorded in the second quarter of 2025 related to the expiration of a real estate purchase option received in 2021 that was accounted for as a sale-leaseback.
(d)
Eliminates non-cash share-based compensation expense related to the equity incentive program in place to incentivize, retain, and motivate our employees and members of our Board.
(e)
Eliminates our share of income attributable to our unconsolidated equity investment.
(f)
Eliminates fair value adjustments primarily related to the contingent consideration owed to the seller for the 2020 Empire acquisition.

Eliminates non-recurring expenses accrued in net income related to a wage and hour collective action settlement described in Note 14 to the Annual Financial Statements.
(h)
Eliminates other unusual or non-recurring items that we do not consider to be meaningful in assessing operating performance.
(i)
Non-cash rent expense reflects the extent to which our GAAP rent expense recognized exceeded (or was less than) our cash rent payments. GAAP rent expense varies depending on the terms of our lease portfolio. For newer leases, our rent expense recognized typically exceeds our cash rent payments, whereas, for more mature leases, rent expense recognized is typically less than our cash rent payments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, availability under our credit facilities and our cash balances. Our principal liquidity requirements are the financing of current operations, funding capital expenditures (including acquisitions), and servicing debt. We finance our inventory purchases primarily from customary trade credit aided by relatively rapid inventory turnover, as well as cash generated from operations. Rapid inventory turnover allows us to conduct operations without the
need for large amounts of cash and working capital. We largely rely on internally generated cash flows and borrowings for operations, which we believe are sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and other capital requirements, including capital expenditures, as well as the cost of acquisitions, 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, we will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance our indebtedness, depending on market conditions. 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. Additional debt financing could impose increased cash payment obligations, as well as covenants that may restrict our operations. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. As of June 30, 2026, approximately 39.0% of our debt bore interest at variable rates, compared to 50% as of December 31, 2025, which reduced our interest rate risk. We may require that we use more of our cash flow for the payment of interest if prevailing interest rates increase or we incur additional indebtedness under our variable rate facilities or otherwise. See also “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Interest Rate Risk.”
As of June 30, 2026, we were in a strong liquidity position of approximately $1.0 billion, consisting of approximately $246 million of cash and cash equivalents and approximately $786 million of availability under our lines of credit available for certain purposes. This liquidity position currently provides us with adequate funding to satisfy our contractual and other obligations from our existing cash balances. As of June 30, 2026, we had no outstanding borrowings under our aggregate $140.0 million lines of credit with PNC, $29.6 million of unused availability under the M&T equipment line of credit, described below, and $625.4 million of unused availability under our $800 million Capital One Line of Credit, which we may elect to increase up to $1.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or other banks, and subject to certain other terms. Our liquidity position increased significantly following the closing of the APC IPO and the use of the proceeds to repay approximately $206.7 million of the indebtedness under our Capital One Line of Credit. In July 2026, we drew an additional $4.0 million on the Capital One Line of Credit to purchase real estate at certain dealer locations, and in August 2026, the GPM Line of Credit (as defined below) increased, bringing the principal amount available under the lines of credit with PNC to an aggregate $214.0 million.
The Board declared, and the Company paid, dividends of $0.03 per share of common stock on each of March 20, 2026 and May 29, 2026, totaling $6.7 million. Additionally, the Board declared a quarterly dividend of $0.03 per share of common stock, to be paid on August 31, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 20, 2026. The amount and timing of dividends payable on our common stock are within the sole discretion of our Board, which will evaluate dividend payments within the context of our overall capital allocation strategy on an ongoing basis, giving consideration to our current and forecast earnings, financial condition, cash requirements and other factors. There can be no assurance that we will continue to pay such dividends or the amounts of such dividends.
To date, we have funded capital expenditures primarily through funds generated from operations, funds received from vendors, sale-leaseback transactions, the issuance of debt and existing cash. Future capital required to finance operations, acquisitions, remodel and update stores, and add NTI retail stores and fleet fueling locations is expected to come from cash on hand, cash generated by operations, availability under our lines of credit, and additional long-term debt and equipment leases, as circumstances may dictate. In the short- to medium-term, we currently expect that our capital spending program will be primarily focused on remodeling and updating stores, including as part of our Transformation Plan, adding NTI retail stores and fleet fueling locations, strategic acquisitions and maintaining our properties and equipment. In the medium- to long-term, we currently expect that our capital spending program will align with our Transformation Plan. We do not expect such capital needs to adversely affect liquidity.
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 and 2025
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:
in thousands
| Line item | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2026 | For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Net cash provided by (used in): | ||
| Operating activities | $60,880 | $98,587 |
| Investing activities | (57,663) | (70,432) |
| Financing activities | (66,321) | (4,106) |
| Effect of exchange rates | (42) | 30 |
| Total | $(63,146) | $24,079 |
Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operations are our main source of liquidity. We have historically relied primarily on cash provided by operating activities, supplemented as necessary from time to time by borrowings on our credit facilities and other debt or equity transactions to finance our operations and to fund our capital expenditures. Cash flow provided by operating activities is primarily impacted by our net income and changes in working capital.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash flows provided by operating activities were $60.9 million compared to $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily the result of higher fuel prices which increased the cost of inventory and other working capital requirements and changes in working capital as a result of the day of the week on which the second quarter ended, which were partially offset by an increase in Adjusted EBITDA and approximately $6.9 million of lower net interest payments.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities primarily reflect capital expenditures for acquisitions, growth and replacing and maintaining existing facilities and equipment used in the business.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, cash used in investing activities decreased by $12.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we used $63.6 million for capital expenditures, including the purchase of fee properties, investments in NTI retail stores and new fleet fueling locations and remodeling of new format stores, EV chargers, upgrades to fuel dispensers and other investments in our stores.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities primarily consist of increases and decreases in the principal amount of lines of credit and other indebtedness, and the issuance of common stock, net of dividends paid and common stock repurchases.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, financing activities consisted primarily of proceeds of $206.8 million, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and costs, from the APC IPO, net repayments of $210.6 million for long-term debt including the use of proceeds from the APC IPO to repay approximately $206.7 million of the indebtedness under our Capital One Line of Credit, repurchases of $37.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for approximately $35.1 million excluding accrued interest, repayments of $10.0 million for financing leases, $6.7 million for dividend payments on common stock, $3.3 million for APC’s dividend payments to non-controlling interests, $2.9 million for dividend payments on the Series A redeemable preferred stock and $4.5 million for common stock repurchases primarily related to vesting of restricted stock.
Credit Facilities and Senior Notes
Senior Notes
In October 2021, the Company issued $450 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Senior Notes”), of which $412 million aggregate principal was outstanding as of June 30, 2026, as the Company repurchased a principal amount of $37.9 million of Senior Notes for approximately $35.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Senior Notes are guaranteed, on an unsecured senior basis, by certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains customary restrictive covenants that, among other things, generally limit the ability of the Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries to (i) create liens, (ii) pay dividends, acquire shares of capital stock and make payments on subordinated debt, (iii) place limitations on distributions from certain subsidiaries, (iv) issue or sell the capital stock of certain subsidiaries, (v) sell assets, (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates, (vii) effect mergers and (viii) incur indebtedness. The Senior Notes and the guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ respective existing and future senior unsubordinated indebtedness and are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and are structurally subordinated to any existing and future obligations of subsidiaries of the Company that are not Guarantors.
Financing Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”)
GPM and certain subsidiaries have financing arrangements (the “PNC Credit Agreements”) with PNC to provide lines of credit with an aggregate principal amount of up to $140 million for purposes of financing working capital.
In connection with the consummation of the APC IPO, we separated our original line of credit into two distinct, but substantially identical, credit facilities. We amended and restated our original single facility to, among other things, remove APC’s subsidiaries as co-borrowers and reduce the principal amount available thereunder from $140 million to up to $56 million (the “GPM Line of
Credit”). On August 4, 2026, the GPM Line of Credit was amended to increase the principal amount available thereunder from $56 million to $130 million, bringing the principal amount available under the lines of credit with PNC to an aggregate $214.0 million.
Concurrently with the APC IPO, APC and certain of APC’s subsidiaries entered into a separate amended and restated credit agreement with PNC providing for an aggregate principal amount available thereunder of up to $84 million (the “APC Line of Credit”). In connection with the amendment, the maturity date for the PNC Credit Agreements was extended from December 22, 2027 to the earliest of: (i) February 13, 2031, (ii) the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Senior Notes or any permitted refinancing thereof, subject to certain conditions, and (iii) the date that is six months prior to the maturity date of the Capital One Line of Credit.
Both the GPM and APC Lines of Credit bear interest, as elected by the applicable borrower at: (a) SOFR Adjusted plus Term SOFR (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreements) plus a margin of 1.25% to 1.75% or (b) a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (as defined in the PNC Credit Agreements) plus a margin of 0% to 0.50%. Every quarter, the SOFR margin rate and the alternate base rate margin rate are updated based on the quarterly average undrawn availability of the applicable line of credit. The calculation of the availability under the both the GPM and APC Lines of Credit is determined monthly subject to terms and limitations as set forth in the PNC Credit Agreements, taking into account the balances of receivables, inventory and letters of credit, among other things. As of June 30, 2026, an aggregate of $9.0 million of letters of credit was outstanding under the PNC Credit Agreements.
Financing Agreements with M&T Bank
GPM had a financing arrangement with M&T Bank (the “M&T Credit Agreement”) that provides a line of credit for up to $45.0 million to purchase equipment, which may be borrowed in tranches, as well as real estate loans (the “M&T Term Loans”).
Each additional equipment loan tranche will have a term of up to five years after the date of the applicable tranche’s issuance, payable in equal monthly payments of principal plus interest of, at GPM’s discretion, either a fixed rate based on M&T Bank’s five-year cost of funds as of the applicable date of each tranche plus 2.25%, or a floating rate at SOFR plus 2.25%. The M&T Term Loans bear interest at SOFR plus 2.25%, and, prior to the refinancing referenced below, matured in June 2026, November 2028 or May 2030 (depending on the loan) and are payable in monthly installments based on a fifteen-year amortization schedule, with the balance of each loan payable at maturity.
In connection with the consummation of the APC IPO, the M&T Credit Agreement was amended to remove APC’s subsidiaries as borrowers or guarantors thereunder, and APC’s assets that previously served as collateral under the M&T Credit Agreement were released from M&T’s security interest.
In addition, on February 11, 2026, GPM refinanced and consolidated its M&T Term Loans and certain of its borrowing under the equipment line of credit into a term loan with an aggregate principal balance of $73.0 million and a maturity date of February 10, 2031, and $8.3 million aggregate amount borrowed under the equipment line of credit. The equipment line of credit was extended to purchase equipment on or before February 2031. As of June 30, 2026, $71.4 million of the M&T Term Loans was outstanding, $15.4 million of the equipment line of credit was outstanding and $29.6 million remained available under the equipment line of credit.
Financing Agreement with a Syndicate of Banks Led by Capital One, National Association (“Capital One”)
GPMP has a revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks led by Capital One, National Association, in an aggregate principal amount of up to $800 million (the “Capital One Line of Credit”). At GPMP’s request, the Capital One Line of Credit can be increased up to $1.0 billion, subject to obtaining additional financing commitments from current lenders or from other banks, and subject to certain terms as detailed in the Capital One Line of Credit. The Capital One Line of Credit is available for general GPMP purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions.
The Capital One Line of Credit bears interest, as elected by GPMP at: (a) Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the agreement) plus a margin of 2.25% to 3.25% or (b) a rate per annum equal to the alternate base rate (as defined in the agreement) plus a margin of 1.25% to 2.25%. The margin is determined according to a formula in the Capital One Line of Credit that depends on GPMP’s leverage.
On January 13, 2026, GPMP entered into an amendment to the Capital One Line of Credit, and during the first quarter of 2026, $206.7 million of the net proceeds from the APC IPO were used to repay the indebtedness under the Capital One Line of Credit. Additionally, GPMP entered into certain pledge and security agreements whereby the Capital One Line of Credit is secured by GPM Empire LLC’s interest in, and proceeds from, APC’s agreements with the Company and APC’s fuel supply agreements with certain of its fuel supply partners and a pledge of APC’s equity interests in GPMP.
The Capital One Line of Credit matures on May 5, 2028. As of June 30, 2026, $174.1 million was drawn on the Capital One Line of Credit, an aggregate of $0.5 million of letters of credit was outstanding under the Capital One Line of Credit and $625.4 million was available thereunder.
Additionally, the Capital One Line of Credit limits GPMP’s ability to pay dividends to APC to the extent of its available cash, which is generally the amount of cash and cash equivalents of GPMP and its subsidiaries less certain cash reserves, as determined by GPM Petroleum GP, LLC, GPMP’s general partner.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates described in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Commodity Price Risk
We have limited exposure to commodity price risk as a result of the payment and volume-related discounts in certain of our fuel supply contracts with our fuel suppliers, which are based on the market price of motor fuel. Significant increases in fuel prices could result in significant increases in the retail price of fuel and in lower sales to consumers and dealers. When fuel prices rise, some of our dealers may have insufficient credit to purchase fuel from us at their historical volumes. In addition, significant and persistent increases in the retail price of fuel could also diminish consumer demand, which could subsequently diminish the volume of fuel we distribute. A significant percentage of our sales are made with the use of credit cards. Because the interchange fees we pay when credit cards are used to make purchases are based on transaction amounts, higher fuel prices at the pump and higher gallon movements result in higher credit card expenses. These additional fees increase operating expenses. From time to time, we make use of derivative commodity instruments to manage risks associated with an immaterial number of gallons designed to offset changes in the price of fuel that are directly tied to firm commitments to purchase diesel fuel.
Interest Rate Risk
We may be subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based on our financing, investing, and cash management activities. The Senior Notes bear a fixed interest rate, therefore, an increase or decrease in prevailing interest rates has no impact on our debt service for the Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2026, the interest rate on our Capital One Line of Credit was 6.0%, and the interest rate on our M&T Term Loans and M&T equipment loans was 5.8%. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate on our Capital One Line of Credit was 7.4%, the interest rate on our M&T Term Loans and on the variable portion of our M&T equipment loans (approximately $12.6 million of the total loan) was 6.6%. As of June 30, 2026, approximately 39.0% of our debt bore interest at variable rates. Based on the outstanding balances as of June 30, 2026, if our applicable interest rates each increase by 1%, then our debt service on an annual basis would increase by approximately $2.6 million. Interest rates on commercial bank borrowings and debt offerings could be higher than current levels, causing our financing costs to increase accordingly. Although this could limit our ability to raise funds in the debt capital markets, we expect to remain competitive with respect to acquisitions and capital projects, as our competitors would likely face similar circumstances.
