Allentown, PA August 6, 2025 – CrossAmerica Partners LP (NYSE: CAPL) (“CrossAmerica” or the “Partnership”), a leading wholesale fuels distributor, convenience store operator, and owner and lessor of real estate used in the retail distribution of motor fuels, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

 

"Our second quarter results showed a meaningful improvement over the first quarter, although they remained below prior-year levels,” said Charles Nifong, President and CEO of CrossAmerica. “During the quarter, we completed several asset sales, reducing debt by more than $50 million and strengthening our balance sheet. These transactions also positioned our operating portfolio for long-term performance. While overall demand remains soft, our volume and store sales outpaced industry trends, reflecting the strength of our market position.”

CrossAmerica recorded a net gain from asset sales and lease terminations of $28.4 million during the second quarter of 2025, compared to $5.6 million during the second quarter of 2024. This was offset by an increase of $4.9 million in depreciation, amortization and accretion expense, primarily due to impairment charges for the current quarter compared to the prior year period. Adjusted EBITDA declined by $5.5 million for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to a decline in fuel and rent gross profit and higher operating expenses. The year-over-year decline in Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage was primarily driven by the already listed factors, partially offset by a decline in interest expense due to a lower average interest rate and lower average outstanding debt balance resulting from applying proceeds from site sales during the period.

For the second quarter of 2025, the retail segment generated a 1% decrease in gross profit compared to the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to a slight decrease in motor fuel gross profit.

 

The motor fuel gross profit for the retail segment declined $0.5 million or 1%, attributable to a 1% decrease in the margin per gallon for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. In addition, volume decreased 1% with 141.7 million of retail fuel gallons distributed during the second quarter of 2025 compared to 143.0 million gallons for the second quarter of 2024. This volume decline was primarily driven by a decrease in the base business with same store retail segment volume decreasing 2%, offset by a net increase in segment site count year-over-year as a result of CrossAmerica’s continued class of trade optimization activities.

 

For the second quarter of 2025, CrossAmerica’s merchandise gross profit increased 2% when compared to the second quarter of 2024. Same store merchandise sales excluding cigarettes increased 4% for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the second quarter of 2024. Merchandise gross profit percentage decreased slightly from 28.3% for the second quarter of 2024 to 28.2% for the second quarter of 2025. Merchandise gross profit also increased due to the transition of certain merchandise products from a commission basis to a gross profit model.

 

For the second quarter of 2025, operating expenses for the retail segment increased 5% primarily driven by a 5% increase in the average segment site count due to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites, partially offset by the sale of certain company operated and commission agent sites in connection with CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort.

During the second quarter of 2025, CrossAmerica’s wholesale segment gross profit decreased 12% compared to the second quarter of 2024. This was driven by a decline in motor fuel and rent gross profit primarily due to the conversion of sites between segments. Motor fuel gross profit declined 9%, primarily driven by a 7% decrease in wholesale volume distributed. A substantial portion of the wholesale volume decline is attributable to the conversion of wholesale locations to retail locations; with the associated volume for these locations now reflected in CrossAmerica’s retail segment. A net loss of independent dealer contracts also contributed to the decline in wholesale volume, partially offset by the sale of certain company operated and commission agent sites with continued fuel supply, converting them into independent dealer locations. In addition, CrossAmerica's average fuel margin per gallon declined 2% for the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the same period of 2024 due to less favorable market conditions during the quarter compared to the prior year period, offset by improved product sourcing costs.

 

Divestment Activity

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2025, CrossAmerica sold 60 properties for $64.0 million in proceeds, resulting in a net gain of $29.7 million. Divestment activity during the quarter was focused on locations in the South Central and Mountain West regions of the United States, with additional targeted divestitures in the Northeast United States. CrossAmerica maintained a supply relationship with substantially all of the locations divested during the quarter post sale.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 30, 2025, CrossAmerica had $727.0 million outstanding under its CAPL Credit Facility. During the quarter, CrossAmerica paid down the balance on the CAPL Credit Facility from $778.0 million to $727.0 million. As of August 1, 2025, after taking into consideration debt covenant restrictions, approximately $200.7 million was available for future borrowings under the CAPL Credit Facility. Leverage, as defined in the CAPL Credit Facility, was 3.65 times as of June 30, 2025, compared to 4.36 times as of December 31, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, CrossAmerica was in compliance with its financial covenants under the credit facility.

Distributions

 

On July 23, 2025, the Board of the Directors of CrossAmerica’s General Partner (“Board”) declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5250 per limited partner unit attributable to the second quarter of 2025. As previously announced, the distribution will be paid on August 14, 2025, to all unitholders of record as of August 4, 2025. The amount and timing of any future distributions is subject to the discretion of the Board as provided in CrossAmerica’s Partnership Agreement.

Conference Call

 

The Partnership will host a conference call on August 7, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss the second quarter of 2025 earnings results. The conference call numbers are 800-990-4333 or 646-769-9600 and the passcode for both is 280060. A live audio webcast of the conference call and the related earnings materials, including reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures to GAAP financial measures and any other applicable disclosures, will be available on that same day on the investor section of the CrossAmerica website (www.crossamericapartners.com). After the live conference call, an archive of the webcast will be available on the investor section of the CrossAmerica site at https://caplp.gcs-web.com/webcasts-presentations within 24 hours after the call for a period of sixty days.

 

Non-GAAP Measures and Same Store Metrics

 

Non-GAAP measures used in this release include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. These Non-GAAP measures are further described and reconciled to their most directly comparable GAAP measures in the Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures section of this release.

Same store fuel volume and same store merchandise sales include aggregated individual store results for all stores that had fuel volume or merchandise sales in all months for both periods within the same segment. Same store merchandise sales excludes other revenues such as lottery commissions and car wash sales. Certain merchandise products have been transitioned from a scan-based trading model (whereby a third party owns the inventory and CrossAmerica records a commission in other revenues) to a gross profit model (whereby CrossAmerica owns the inventory and records merchandise sales and cost of sales). Same store merchandise sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was adjusted to gross it up for the sales that would have been recorded had CrossAmerica been on the gross profit model in the prior year.

(a) The decrease in the company operated site count was primarily attributable to the sale of certain company operated sites in connection with CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort, partially offset by the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated sites.

(b) The increase in the commission agent site count was primarily attributable to the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to commission agent sites, partially offset by the sale of certain commission agent sites in connection with CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort.

(c) Same store fuel volume and same store merchandise sales include aggregated individual store results for all stores that had fuel volume or merchandise sales in all months for both periods. Same store merchandise sales excludes other revenues such as lottery commissions and car wash sales. Certain merchandise products have been transitioned from a scan-based trading model (whereby a third party owns the inventory and CrossAmerica records a commission in other revenues) to a gross profit model (whereby CrossAmerica owns the inventory and records merchandise sales and cost of sales). Same store merchandise sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, was adjusted to gross it up for the sales that would have been recorded had CrossAmerica been on the gross profit model in the prior year.

(a) In addition, CrossAmerica distributed motor fuel to sub-wholesalers who distributed to additional sites.

(b) The increase in the independent dealer site count was primarily attributable to the sale of certain lessee dealer and commission agent sites but with continued fuel supply, partially offset by the net loss of independent dealer contracts.

(c) The decrease in the lessee dealer count was primarily attributable to the sale of certain lessee dealer sites in connection with CrossAmerica's real estate rationalization effort (generally with continued fuel supply, thereby converting the site to an independent dealer site) as well as the conversion of certain lessee dealer sites to company operated and commission agent sites.

Supplemental Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

CrossAmerica uses the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio. EBITDA represents net income (loss) before deducting interest expense, income taxes and depreciation, amortization and accretion (which includes certain impairment charges). Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA as further adjusted to exclude equity-based compensation expense, gains or losses on dispositions and lease terminations, net and certain discrete acquisition related costs, such as legal and other professional fees, separation benefit costs and certain other discrete non-cash items arising from purchase accounting. Distributable Cash Flow represents Adjusted EBITDA less cash interest expense, sustaining capital expenditures and current income tax expense. The Distribution Coverage Ratio is computed by dividing Distributable Cash Flow by distributions paid on common units.

 

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio 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 CrossAmerica’s financial performance without regard to financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and the ability to incur and service debt and to fund capital expenditures. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the operating performance of the Partnership’s business on a consistent basis by excluding the impact of items which do not result directly from the wholesale distribution of motor fuel, the leasing of real property, or the day to day operations of CrossAmerica’s retail site activities. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio are also used to assess the ability to generate cash sufficient to make distributions to CrossAmerica’s unitholders.

 

CrossAmerica believes the presentation of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio provides useful information to investors in assessing the financial condition and results of operations. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio 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, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio have important limitations as analytical tools because they exclude some but not all items that affect net income. Additionally, because EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Distributable Cash Flow and Distribution Coverage Ratio may be defined differently by other companies in the industry, CrossAmerica’s 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 (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for each of the periods indicated (in thousands, except for the Distribution Coverage Ratio):
