Quarterly Distribution Declared

In April 2020, we declared a quarterly distribution of $0.1325 per unit, or $0.53 per unit on an annualized basis, on all Common Units with respect to the second quarter of fiscal 2020, payable on May 12, 2020, to holders of record on May 4, 2020. The amount of distributions in excess of the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.0675 are distributed in accordance with our Partnership Agreement, subject to the management incentive compensation plan. As a result, $6.0 million will be paid to the Common Unit holders, $0.2 million to the General Partner unit holders (including $0.2 million of incentive distribution as provided in our Partnership Agreement) and $0.2 million to management pursuant to the management incentive compensation plan which provides for certain members of management to receive incentive distributions that would otherwise be payable to the General Partner.

Common Units Repurchased and Retired

In April 2020, in accordance with the Repurchase Plan, the Company repurchased and retired 0.4 million Common Units at an average price paid of $7.71 per unit.

Impact of COVID-19

We have seen a reduction in certain sales activity in the month of April 2020 when compared to that in April 2019, primarily due to the decrease in economic activity and travel resulting from the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19.

The volume of Motor Fuel and Other Petroleum Products for April 2020 (which is primarily motor fuels used for both on and off road purposes) is down approximately 35% compared to the volume sold in April 2019.  Service revenues are down approximately 10% in April 2020 when compared to April 2019, as in some locations the company has restricted its service to only emergency services, or customers are electing to defer non-emergency services until a later date.  Installation revenues are also down approximately 40% in April 2020 when compared to April 2019 as, again, many customers are deferring non-emergency installations.

The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our operational and financial performance will depend on certain developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak, its impact on our customers and suppliers and the range of governmental and community reactions to the pandemic, which are uncertain and cannot be fully predicted at this time.
