Cash Flow Stability (1) Includes predecessor company • Crude Oil Impact – Portion of our wholesale margin is generated from payment discounts based on market price of wholesale gasoline, which generally follows crude prices – Our cash flow is partially stabilized by the opposite effect that crude oil price movements have on our Retail and Dealer-Tank-Wagon (DTW) margins • Other Stabilizing Factors – Cash flow is further stabilized due to our growing contribution from rent, merchandise sales and sponsor cash flow management (e.g., frequency of asset drops, intercompany payments in units versus cash, etc.), which are not materially correlated to the price of crude oil • Positioned better than ever to maintain cash flow stability – Grew per unit distribution despite significant crude market (and payment discount) decline 8 38% 20% 14% 28% CrossAmerica 2015 6-Month Gross Margin Wholesale Rent Retail Fuel Retail Merchandise $0 $10 $20 $30 $40 $50 $60 $70 $80 $90 $100 $0.000 $0.010 $0.020 $0.030 $0.040 $0.050 $0.060 $0.070 $0.080 $0.090 $0.100 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015-1H Cru d e O il Pric e ( p er b ar re l – W TI ) W h o le sale M argi n ( p er gallo n ) CrossAmerica Payment Terms Discount Impact by Crude Oil (1) Average Crude Oil Price (per barrel - WTI) CAPL Average Wholesale Margin (per gallon)

LGO Contractual Adjustments Sale of Wholesale Fuel Supply Contracts and Assignment of Leases to DMI The Partnership, DMI and LGO consummated a series of transactions pursuant to which DMI acquired, for an aggregate purchase price of $5.7 million and an earn-out in the amount of $0.8 million if DMI renews a certain customer contract, the wholesale fuel supply rights for 78 locations in Pennsylvania and New York previously supplied by the Partnership and the fuel supply rights of the Partnership to such sites was terminated. In addition, subleases for 12 of the sites, previously leased to the Partnership, were assigned to DMI or its affiliates. The terms of the transaction were approved by th former conflicts committee of the board of directors of the General Partner, which was comprised solely of independent directors. The volume associated with these sites for 2013 was approximately 94 million gallons, of which approximately 36 million gallons represents sales to a sub-wholesaler at a de minimus margin and approximately 28 million gallons relates to a contract with a single customer for which the contract expires in 2015. In addition, rent expense for the leasehold sites included in the transaction exceeded the rent income on an annual basis by approximately $0.6 million for 2013. Because this was a transaction between entities under common control, the Partnership derecognized the assets and liabilities associated with the wholesale fuel supply contracts and leases and recognized the approximate $2.3 million excess of the purchase price over the net book value of the net assets divested as a contribution to partners’ capital on October 1, 2014. Wholesale Fuel Supply Agreement with LGO In connection with the IPO, the Partnership and LGO entered into a PMPA Franchise Agreement pursuant to which the Partnership is the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to all sites operated by LGO for a period of 15 years. We have the right to impose the brand of fuel that is distributed to LGO. There are no minimum volume requirements that LGO is required to satisfy. We charged LGO the “dealer tank wagon” prices for each grade of product in effect at the time title to the product passes to LGO. The conflicts committee of our General Partner shall, no less than annually, review the DTW prices charged to LGO to ensure that the prices are not below reasonable market rates charged to similarly situated or otherwise comparable third-party sites over a representative period of time. We have a right of first refusal in connection with any proposed transfer by LGO of its interest in the wholesale supply agreement. The wholesale supply agreement contains cross-default provisions with each lease agreement with LGO. We entered into an Amendment to the PMPA Franchise Agreement, effective as of October 1, 2014, by and between LGW, a subsidiary of the Partnership, and LGO (the “Wholesale Fuel Supply Agreement Amendment”) pursuant to which the pricing terms were amended. Prior to the Wholesale Fuel Supply Agreement Amendment, the agreement provided that we charge LGO dealer tank wagon pricing, which provided for a variable cent-per-gallon margin for each grade of product in effect at the time title to the product passed to LGO. The Wholesale Fuel Supply Agreement Amendment amends the pricing terms of the agreement to provide for rack plus pricing and was approved by the former conflicts committee of the board of directors of the General Partner. Revenues from fuel sales to LGO amounted to $676.2 million in 2014. From page 100 of Form 10-K of CrossAmerica Partners, LP for year ended December 31, 2014: 23

(b) Relates to certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and severance expenses associated with recently acquired businesses. (c) Under our Partnership Agreement, sustaining capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity. Examples of sustaining capital expenditures are those made to maintain existing contract volumes, including payments to renew existing distribution contracts, or to maintain our sites in leasable condition, such as parking lot or roof replacement/renovation, or to replace equipment required to operate our existing business.


 
Non-GAAP Financial Measures Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow in this presentation. EBITDA represents net income before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity funded expenses related to incentive compensation and the Amended Omnibus Agreement, gains or losses on sales of assets, certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees and severance expenses associated with recently acquired companies, and certain other discrete non-cash items, such as inventory fair value adjustments arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow are used as supplemental financial measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and lenders. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used to assess our financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and our ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of our business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from our wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of our retail convenience store activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow are also used to assess our ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to our unit-holders. We believe the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow provides useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility. The following table presents reconciliations of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, and Distributable Cash Flow to net income, the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for per unit amounts): 25
