Part I

Item 1. BUSINESS

Murphy USA Inc. ("Murphy USA", the "Company", "we", or "our") was incorporated in Delaware on March 1, 2013 and holds, through its subsidiaries, the former U.S. retail marketing business of its former parent company, Murphy Oil Corporation (“Murphy Oil”), plus other assets and liabilities of Murphy Oil that supported the activities of the U.S. retail marketing operations. In addition, on January 29, 2021, the Company acquired Quick Chek Corporation ("QuickChek"), a privately held convenience store chain.

Our business consists primarily of the marketing of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise through a network of 1,712 (as of December 31, 2022) retail stores located in 27 states, of which, 1,151 were branded as Murphy USA, 404 were branded as Murphy Express, and 157 were branded as QuickChek stores. The majority of our existing and new-to-industry ("NTI") retail gasoline stores operate under the brand names of Murphy USA and Murphy Express. Plans are under development to transition all Murphy Express branded stores to the Murphy USA brand name. These locations operate within close proximity to Walmart stores or within preferred markets across 25 states in the Southeast, Southwest, and Midwest areas of the United States. We also operate a combination of convenience stores and convenience stores with retail gasoline under the brand name of QuickChek, which are located in New Jersey and New York. In addition, we market fuel to unbranded wholesale customers through a mixture of Company owned and third-party product distribution terminals and pipeline positions. We are an independent publicly traded company, with low-price, high volume fuel retail outlets selling convenience merchandise through low-cost small store formats and kiosks, as well as larger format stores that have a broader range of merchandise and food and beverage offerings which are driven by key strategic relationships and experienced management.

Our business is subject to various risks. For a description of these risks, see “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.   

Information about our operations, properties and business segments, including revenues by class of products and financial information by geographic area, are provided on pages 32 through #, F-12, F-13, F-15, and F-38 through F-39 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Our Competitive Strengths

Our business foundation is built around five reinforcing strengths which we believe provide us a competitive advantage over our peers. These strengths support our Company vision which is to “Deliver every day the quickest, most friendly service and a low-price value proposition to our growing customer base for the products and markets we serve.” 

Strategic proximity to and complementary relationship with Walmart

Of our network of 1,712 retail stores (as of December 31, 2022), the majority are situated on prime locations located near Walmart stores. We believe our proximity to Walmart stores generates significant traffic to our existing retail stores while our competitively priced gasoline and convenience offerings appeal to our shared customers. We continue to collaborate with Walmart on fuel discount programs, mainly Walmart+, which we believe enhances the customer value proposition as well as the competitive position of both Murphy USA and Walmart.

Winning proposition with value-conscious consumers

Our competitively priced fuel is a compelling offering for value-conscious consumers. Despite a flat long-term outlook in overall gasoline demand (increased vehicle miles traveled in a normal economy essentially offsetting increased fuel efficiency), we believe value-conscious consumers that prefer convenience and service are a growing demand segment. In combination with our high traffic locations, our competitive gasoline prices drive high fuel volumes and gross profit. In addition, we believe we are an industry leader in per-store tobacco sales with our low-priced tobacco products and in total store sales per square foot as we also sell a growing

2

assortment of single-serve/immediate consumption items.  We continue to provide value opportunities to our customers through our Murphy Drive Rewards and QuickChek Rewards loyalty programs which reward customers with discounted and free items based on purchases of qualifying fuel and merchandise, as applicable.

Low cost retail operating model

We operate our Murphy USA and Murphy Express retail gasoline stores with a strong emphasis on fuel sales complemented by a focused convenience offering that allows for a smaller store footprint than most of our competitors. We build a mix of raze-and-rebuild 1,400 square foot stores and NTI 2,800 square foot Murphy stores which we believe have low capital expenditure, maintenance and utility requirements relative to our competitors. Many of our Murphy stores require only one or two associates to be present during business hours and 76% of our stores are located on Company-owned property and do not incur any rent expense. The combination of a focused convenience offering and standardized smaller footprint stores of our Murphy USA and Express brands allow us to achieve lower overhead costs and on-site costs compared to competitors with a much larger store format. Our low cost operating model translates into a low cash fuel breakeven requirement that allows us to weather extended periods of low fuel margins and which has improved by more than 3 cents per gallon ("cpg") since our spin-off in 2013.

Distinctive fuel supply chain capabilities 

We source fuel at competitive industry benchmark prices due to the diversity of fuel options available to us in the bulk and rack product markets, our shipper status on major pipeline systems, and our access to numerous terminal locations. In addition, we have a strong distribution system in which we leverage our scale and ratability to deliver the most favorably priced products for our Murphy stores and QuickChek stores with gasoline, further reducing our fuel product costs. By participating in the broader fuel supply chain, we believe our business model provides additional upside exposure to opportunities to enhance margins and volume, such as shifting non-contractual wholesale volumes to protect retail fuel supply during periods of constrained supply and elevated margins. These activities demonstrate our belief that participating in the broader fuel supply chain provides us with added flexibility to ensure reliable low-cost fuel supply in various market conditions especially during periods of significant price volatility or delivery difficulties. It would take substantial time and investment, both in expertise and assets, for a competitor to replicate our existing position, and we believe this continues to be a significant barrier to any attempt to emulate our business model.

 Resilient financial profile and engaged team

Our predominantly fee-simple asset base, ability to generate attractive gross margins through our low-price, high-volume strategy, and our low overhead costs should help us endure prolonged periods of unfavorable commodity price movements and compressed fuel margins. We also believe our conservative financial structure further protects us from the inherently volatile fuel environment.  We expect that our strong cash position combined with availability under our credit facility will continue to provide us with a significant level of liquidity to help maintain a disciplined capital expenditure program focused on growing ratably through periods of both high and low fuel margins.

We have acquired through share repurchases approximately $2.7 billion of our common stock in a little more than nine years of operation. During the year 2022, we repurchased a total of 3,328,795 common shares for $806.4 million, for an average price of $242.24 per share. Repurchases in 2022 were made pursuant to our now completed $500 million 2020 authorization and our $1 billion 2021 authorization. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $213.7 million remaining under our 2021 authorization. Additionally, in order to provide a consistent and meaningful return of capital to shareholders independent of share repurchases, we raised our quarterly dividend three times during 2022 from $0.29 per share in Q1 2022 to $0.35 cents per share, or $1.40 per share on an annualized basis as of Q4 2022.

We have over 15,100 dedicated and hardworking employees as of December 31, 2022, that are actively engaged to serve the customer, whether it is the external retail consumer or their internal co-workers. We believe our sustainable business model and organic growth opportunities support an employee value proposition that makes Murphy USA an attractive place to work.

Our Business Strategy

Our business strategy reflects a set of coherent choices that leverage our differentiated strengths and capabilities. 

Grow organically

We intend for our independent growth plan to be a key driver of our organic growth over the next several years, which is demonstrated by the 404 standalone Murphy Express locations (as of December 31, 2022), the majority of which were developed after our 2013 spin-off from Murphy Oil Corporation. We expect to build up to 45 NTI locations and up to 30 raze-and-rebuilds in 2023 and are targeting up to 55 NTI and up to 25 raze-and-rebuilds per year in future periods, focusing on high-return locations either in high traffic areas, near Walmart Supercenters as a complement to higher performing existing stores in smaller markets, or by strategic infill in our core market areas complemented by our supply chain capabilities. While we were previously focused on smaller store size, we now expect to build more Murphy branded NTI stores that are 2,800 square feet or larger, as well as our NTI QuickChek branded locations in their existing footprint, which average between 5,000 to 7,000 square feet in size. Our real estate development team works to maintain a multi-year pipeline of projects that supports continued ratable expansion in these high-return locations.

Diversify merchandise mix 

We plan to continuously evaluate our remaining kiosk strategy in an effort to maximize our store economics and return on investment. Complementary to that strategy, we are continually refining Murphy branded 1,400 square foot and 2,800 square foot designs to create a foundation for increasing higher-margin non-tobacco sales and diversifying our merchandise offerings. Key to achieving the highest potential returns from our large and small format stores is the development and execution of enhanced food and beverage ("F&B") capabilities by leveraging QuickChek's F&B offering. We expect to further expand merchandise revenue and margins through our primary supplier relationship with Core-Mark Holding Company, Inc. ("Core-Mark") and in addition, to optimize our promotional planning, merchandise assortment, and pricing effectiveness, in order to help boost overall store returns.

Sustain cost leadership position 

We believe that sustaining our low cost position is a strategic advantage as a retailer of commodity products. We are undertaking several initiatives for the purpose of increasing efficiency which should allow us to continue to beat inflation on per-store operating costs to help sustain low store-level costs. We also believe that through our planned growth and efficiency initiatives, we can control overhead costs to support an overall improvement in store returns and keep costs properly scaled as we grow organically. In order to do this successfully, we will focus on the continued development of our employees and foster an operating culture aligned with business performance, including cost leadership.

Create advantage from market volatility 

We plan to continue to focus our product supply and wholesale efforts on activities that enhance our ability to be a low-price retail fuel leader and our ability to take advantage of fuel price volatility. We will continue to invest in capabilities and asset positions that support our supply chain strategy. Our distinctive business model and supply chain advantage allows us to deliver consistent margins over time and withstand periods of volatility and uncertainty.

 Invest for the long term

We maintain a portfolio of predominantly fee-simple assets and utilize what we believe to be an appropriate debt structure that will allow us to be resilient during times of volatility in fuel demand, price, and margin. We believe our strong financial position should allow us to profitably execute our low-cost, high volume retail strategy through periods of both high and low fuel margins while preserving the ability to re-invest in and grow our existing stores, brand image and supporting capabilities such as enhancing our food and beverage offerings. Furthermore, in addition to our store-development capital and investments in new capabilities, we

4

have diversified our shareholder distribution mechanism to provide consistent return of capital through quarterly cash dividends and meaningful share repurchase programs as we continue to focus on maximizing shareholder value.        

Industry Trends

We operate within the large, growing, competitive and highly fragmented U.S. retail fuel and convenience store industry. Several key industry trends and characteristics, include:

•Sensitivity to gas prices among cost conscious consumers, and increasing customer demand for low-priced fuel;

•Highly fragmented nature of the industry providing larger chain operators like Murphy USA with significant scale advantage;

•Significantly increased fuel capacity in the marketplace by the addition of new-to-industry retail fuel and convenience stores, and

•High levels of consumer traffic around supermarkets and large format hypermarkets, supporting complementary demand at nearby and cross-promoted retail fuel stores.

Since 2007, we have purchased from Walmart the properties underlying many of our stores. Each of our owned properties that were purchased from Walmart are also subject to Easements and Covenants with Restrictions Affecting Land (“ECRs”), which impose customary restrictions on the use of such properties, which Walmart has the right to enforce. In addition, pursuant to the ECRs, certain transfers involving these properties are subject to Walmart’s right of first refusal or right of first offer. Also, pursuant to the ECRs, we are prohibited from transferring such properties to a competitor of Walmart.

For risks related to our agreements with Walmart, including the ECRs, see “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to Our Business—Walmart retains certain rights in its agreements with us, which may adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.”

For the remaining stores located on or adjacent to Walmart property that are not owned, we have a master lease agreement that allows us to rent land from Walmart. The master lease agreement contains general terms applicable to all rental stores on Walmart property in the United States. The term of the leases is ten years at each store, with us holding four successive five-year extension options at each site. Approximately half of the leased sites have over 11 years of term remaining, including renewals, should the Company decide to exercise the renewal options. The agreement permits Walmart to terminate it in its entirety, or only as to affected sites, at its option under customary circumstances (including in certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency), or if we improperly transfer the rights under the agreements to another party. In addition, the

6

master lease agreement prohibits us from selling a leased store or allowing a third party to operate a leased store without written consent from Walmart.

For more information about our operating leases, see Note 21 "Leases" to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2022.

We have numerous sources for our retail fuel supply, including nearly all of the major and large oil companies operating in the U.S. We purchase fuel from oil companies, independent refiners, and other marketers at rates that fluctuate with market prices and generally are reset daily, and we sell fuel to our customers at prices that we establish daily. All fuel is delivered by the truckload as needed to replenish supply at our Company stores. Our inventories of fuel on site turn approximately once daily. By establishing motor fuel supply relationships with several alternate suppliers for most locations, we believe we are able to effectively create competition for our purchases among various fuel suppliers. We also believe that purchasing arrangements with multiple fuel suppliers may help us avoid product outages during times of motor fuel supply disruptions. At some locations, however, there are limited suppliers for fuel in that market and we may have only one supplier. Our refined products are distributed through a few product distribution terminals that are wholly owned and operated by us and from numerous terminals owned by others. About half of our wholly owned terminals are supplied by marine transportation and the rest are supplied by pipeline. We also receive products at terminals owned by others either in exchange for deliveries from our terminals or by outright purchase.

In addition to the motor fuel sold at our Company stores, our stores carry a broad selection of snacks, beverages, tobacco products and non-food merchandise, as well as a greater food and beverage offering at our QuickChek locations. In 2022, we purchased more than 74% of our merchandise from a single vendor, Core-Mark, with whom we renewed a new five-year supply agreement in January 2021.

Competition

The U.S. petroleum business is highly competitive, particularly with regard to accessing and marketing petroleum and other refined products. We compete with other chains of retail fuel stores for fuel supply and in the retail sale of refined products to end consumers, primarily on the basis of price, but also on convenience and consumer appeal. In addition, we may also face competition from other retail fueling stores that adopt marketing strategies similar to ours by associating with non-traditional retailers, such as quick service restaurants, supermarkets, discount club stores and hypermarkets, particularly in the geographic areas in which we operate. We expect that our industry will continue to trend toward this model, resulting in increased competition to us over time. Moreover, because we do not produce or refine any of the petroleum or other refined products that we market, we compete with retail gasoline companies that have ongoing supply relationships with affiliates or former affiliates that manufacture refined products. We also compete with integrated companies that have their own production and/or refining operations that are at times able to offset losses from marketing operations with profits from producing or refining operations, and may be better positioned to withstand periods of depressed retail margins or supply shortages. In addition, we compete with other retail and wholesale gasoline marketing companies that have more extensive retail outlets and greater brand name recognition. Some of our competitors have been in existence longer than we have and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may have a greater ability to bear the economic risks inherent in all phases of our business and may be able to respond better to changes in the economy and new opportunities within the industry.

The retail gasoline industry in the United States is highly competitive due to ease of entry and constant change in the number and type of retailers offering similar products and services. With respect to merchandise, our retail stores compete with other convenience store chains, independently owned convenience stores, supermarkets, drugstores, discount clubs, gasoline service stores, mass merchants, fast food operations and other similar retail outlets. Non-traditional retailers, including supermarkets, discount club stores and mass merchants, now compete directly with retail gasoline stores. These non-traditional gasoline retailers have obtained a significant share of the gasoline market, and their market share is expected to grow, and these retailers may use promotional pricing or discounts, both at the fuel pump and in the convenience store, to encourage in-store merchandise sales and gasoline sales. In addition, some large retailers and supermarkets are adjusting their store layouts and product prices in an attempt to appeal to convenience store customers. Major competitive factors are: location, ease of access, product and service selection, gasoline brands, pricing, customer service, store appearance, cleanliness and safety.

Market Conditions and Seasonality

Market conditions in the oil and gas industry are cyclical and subject to global economic and political events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, that upset global supply and demand and impact the price of crude oil and to new and changing governmental regulations. Our operating results are affected by price changes in crude oil, natural gas and refined products, pandemics that may lead to travel restrictions or changed customer behavior, and changes in competitive conditions in the markets we serve.

Oil prices, wholesale motor fuel costs, motor fuel sales volumes, motor fuel gross margins and merchandise sales can be subject to seasonal fluctuations.  Consumer demand for motor fuel typically increases during the summer driving season, and typically falls during the winter months.  Travel, recreation and construction are typically higher in these months in the geographic areas in which we operate, increasing the demand for motor fuel and merchandise that we sell. Therefore, our revenues and sales volumes are typically higher in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. A significant change in any of these factors, including a significant decrease in consumer demand (other than typical seasonal variations), could materially affect our motor fuel and merchandise volumes, motor fuel gross profit and overall customer traffic, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Trademarks

In the highly competitive business in which we operate, our trade names, service marks and trademarks are important to distinguish our products and services from those of our competitors. We sell gasoline primarily under the Murphy USA® and Murphy Express brands, which we acquired from Murphy Oil. We acquired

8

ownership of the QuickChek® trademark and others as a result of the QuickChek acquisition. We are not aware of any facts which would negatively impact our continuing use of any of the above trade names, service marks or trademarks.

Technology Systems

All of our Company stores use a standard hardware and software platform for point-of-sale (“POS”) that facilitates item level scanning of merchandise for sales and inventory, and the secure acceptance of all major payment methods – cash, check, credit, debit, fleet and mobile. In addition, our QuickChek stores have self-service checkouts and support third-party delivery services. Our standard approach to large scale and geographically dispersed deployments reduces total technology cost of ownership for the POS and inherently makes the system easier to use, support, and replace. This POS technology strategy reflects close alignment with our growth plan.

We use a combination of software as a service, commercial off the shelf software, and custom software applications developed using modern industry standard tools and methodologies to manage and run our business. For our financial systems, we use enterprise class systems which provide significant flexibility in managing corporate and store operations, as well as scalability for growth.

We invest in disaster recovery, system backups, redundancy, firewall, remote access security and virus and spam protection to ensure a high level of system security and availability. We have systems, business policies and processes around access controls, password expirations and file retention to ensure a high level of control within our technology network.

Environmental

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, regulations and permit requirements. Such environmental requirements have historically been subject to frequent change and have tended to become more stringent over time. While we strive to comply with these environmental requirements, any violation of such requirements can result in litigation, increased costs or the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions or other sanctions. Compliance with these environmental requirements affects our overall cost of business, including capital costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities, and ongoing operating expenditures. We maintain sophisticated leak detection and remote monitoring systems for underground storage tanks at most of our retail fueling stores and install up-to-date tank, piping, and monitoring systems at our new stores. We operate above ground bulk petroleum tanks at our terminal locations and have upgraded certain product lines and conduct annual monitoring to help mitigate the risk of potential soil and groundwater contamination. We allocate a portion of our capital expenditure program to comply with environmental laws and regulations, and such capital expenditures are projected to be approximately $6.7 million in 2023.  

We could be subject to joint and several as well as strict liability for environmental contamination. Some of our current and former properties have been operated by third parties whose handling and management of hazardous materials were not under our control, and substantially all of them have or previously had motor fuel or petroleum product storage tanks. Pursuant to certain environmental laws and regulations, we could be responsible for investigating and remediating contamination relating to such stores, including impacts attributable to prior site occupants or other third parties, and for implementing remedial measures to mitigate the risk of future contamination. We may also have liability for contamination and violations of environmental laws and regulations under contractual arrangements with third parties, such as landlords and former owners of our sites, including at our sites in close proximity to Walmart stores. Contamination has been identified at certain of our current and former terminals and retail fueling stores, and we are continuing to conduct investigation and remediation activities in relation to such properties. The discovery of additional contamination or the imposition of further investigation or remediation obligations at these or other properties could result in significant costs. In some cases, we may be eligible to receive money from state “leaking petroleum storage tank” trust funds to help fund remediation. However, receipt of such payments is subject to stringent eligibility requirements and other limitations that can significantly reduce the availability of such trust fund payments and may delay or increase the duration of associated cleanups. We could also be held responsible for contamination relating to third-party sites to which we or our predecessors have sent hazardous materials for recycling or disposal. We

9

are currently identified as a potentially responsible party ("PRP") in connection with one such disposal site. Any such contamination, leaks from storage tanks or other releases of regulated materials could result in claims against us by governmental authorities and other third parties for fines or penalties, natural resource damages, personal injury, and property damage. From time to time, we are subject to legal and administrative proceedings governing the investigation and remediation of contamination or spills from current and past operations, including from our terminal operations and leaking petroleum storage tanks.

Consumer demand for our products may be adversely impacted by fuel economy standards as well as greenhouse gas (“GHG”) vehicle emission reduction measures. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) issued Corporate Average Fuel Economy ("CAFE") standards in 2012 that set fuel economy standards and regulated emissions of GHGs for fleets of 2017-2025 model year cars and light duty trucks. In 2016, the NHTSA finalized a rule imposing stricter penalties against those who exceed CAFE standards. In December 2021, the EPA finalized standards for 2023-2026 model years that are more stringent than those in prior standards from 2020. In March 2022 NHTSA finalized CAFE standards addressing the 2024-2026 model years that are more stringent than those in prior standards from 2020. The EPA and NHTSA also regulate GHG emission and fuel efficiency standards for medium and heavy-duty vehicles and in August 2016, jointly finalized "Phase 2" vehicle and engine performance standards covering model years 2021 through 2027, which apply to semi-trucks, large pick-up trucks and vans, and all types and sizes of buses and work trucks. In December 2022, the EPA finalized a rule that sets more stringent standards to reduce pollution from heavy duty vehicles and engines beginning with model year 2027; this was the first rulemaking under the EPA's Clean Trucks Plan, which is an EPA regulatory initiative to reduce GHG emissions and other harmful air pollutants from heavy-duty trucks via various rulemakings. These and any future increases in or changes to fuel economy standards or GHG emission reduction requirements could decrease demand for our products.

Air emissions from our facilities are also subject to regulation. For example, certain of our fueling stores may be required to install and maintain vapor recovery systems to control emissions of volatile organic compounds to the air during the vehicle fueling process. Although the EPA declined to revise national ambient air quality standards for ground level ozone in December 2020, the EPA under a President Biden administration may revise such standards, which could require additional equipment upgrades and operating controls that could increase our capital and operating expenses.  Any other future environmental regulatory changes applicable to our business or operations may also result in increased compliance costs.

Our business is also subject to increasingly stringent laws and regulations governing the content and characteristics of fuel. For example, the gasoline we sell generally must meet increasingly rigorous sulfur and benzene standards. In addition, renewable fuel standards generally require refiners and gasoline blenders to meet certain volume quotas or obtain representative trading credits for renewable fuels that are established as a percentage of their finished product production. Such fuel requirements and renewable fuel standards may adversely affect our wholesale fuel purchase costs.  

Sale of Regulated Products

In certain areas where our retail stores are located, state or local laws limit the hours of operation for the sale of alcoholic beverages and restrict the sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products to persons younger than a certain age. State and local regulatory agencies have the authority to approve, revoke, suspend or deny applications for and renewals of permits and licenses relating to the sale of alcoholic beverages, as well as to issue fines to convenience stores for the improper sale of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products. Failure to comply with these laws may result in the loss of necessary licenses and the imposition of fines and penalties on us. Such a loss or imposition could have a material adverse effect on our business, liquidity and results of operations. In many states, retailers of alcoholic beverages have been held responsible for damages caused by intoxicated individuals who purchased alcoholic beverages from them. While the potential exposure for damage claims as a seller of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products is substantial, we have adopted procedures intended to minimize such exposure. We also adhere to the rules governing lottery sales as determined by state lottery commissions in each state in which we make such sales.

10

Safety

We are subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state statutes that regulate the protection of the health and safety of workers. In addition, the OSHA hazard communication standard requires that certain information be maintained about hazardous materials used or produced in our operations and that this information be provided to employees, state and local government authorities and citizens.

Other Regulatory Matters

Our retail stores are also subject to regulation by federal agencies and to licensing and regulations by state and local health, sanitation, fire and other departments relating to the development and operation of retail stores, including regulations relating to zoning and building requirements and the preparation and sale of food. Difficulties in obtaining or failures to obtain the required licenses or approvals could delay or prevent the development of a new retail store in a particular area.

Our operations are also subject to federal and state laws governing such matters as wage rates, overtime and citizenship requirements. At the federal and state levels, there are proposals under consideration from time to time to increase minimum wage rates and periods of protected leaves.  Increases in wages, overtime pay, or benefits due to changes in the statutory minimum salary requirements or minimum wage rates or mandated health benefits would result in an increase in our labor costs. Such cost increases, or the penalties for failing to comply, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We monitor such changes to ensure our continued compliance with these ever-changing regulations.

Human Capital

At Murphy USA, we know that the strength of our workforce is critical to our long-term success and we strive to build upon this through the foundation laid by our Principles. As of December 31, 2022, Murphy USA had over 15,100 employees, including 6,000 full-time employees, and 9,100 part-time employees working at our stores, support centers, and corporate headquarters.

Murphy USA is committed to the attraction, development, retention, and safety of our employees. Our initiatives for fiscal year 2022 addressed, among other things, (i) Our Principles, (ii) Inclusion and Diversity, (iii) Talent Management, (iv) Total Rewards, and (v) Workforce Safety.

Our Principles are the heart of our rich culture, creating the foundation of how we operate at Murphy USA. They are the values that shape the strong character of our company. The basis for our human capital management focus is driven by our core Principles of Integrity, Respect, Citizenship, and Spirit.

Integrity	Respect	Citizenship	Spirit
Be persistently ethical and honest to foster trust. We carry ourselves with a quiet confidence because we know that – in the long run — our character will speak for itself. We always do the right thing, even when no one is watching.	Value and appreciate others. We encourage and promote diverse approaches in all our thoughts, ideas and actions. We understand the value gained through embracing the strengths, experiences, and perspectives of others.	Believe in the power of good actions. We are committed to the greater good for our employees, company, customers, suppliers and other stakeholders. We are responsible and involved in the communities in which we live and work as ambassadors of Murphy USA.	Strive to be the best. We are highly engaged and truly care about what we do and how we are perceived. We have a strong desire to exceed our customers’ expectations. We work closely with each other to drive our success through reliable and consistent execution.

11

We are committed to living our Principles, specifically, the principle of "Respect" as it relates to inclusion and diversity. We are intentional about working towards increasing visible and invisible diversity throughout Murphy USA through several talent initiatives:

•We partner with universities to attract diverse talent.

•We identify critical roles and potential successors with our succession management program.

•We strive to lift up talent through differentiated and personalized development opportunities.

We employ thoughtful talent management strategies, including annual succession planning, semi-annual people reviews, promotion review committees, mid-year and annual performance reviews, and cohort performance review calibrations.

We are dedicated to helping our employees succeed professionally by offering a robust suite of learning and development opportunities.

•Our field teams have comprehensive functional training programs at each level.

•We have individual development plans (IDPs) and an eLearning platform to support employee-driven development.

•We offer a formal stretch role and assignment process to support development at all levels.

•We have a mentorship process.

•Leadership development opportunities are available for all leaders.

•We provide tuition reimbursement for home office employees, store managers, and assistant store managers.

•We sponsor employees seeking to earn their GED.

We have demonstrated a history of investing in our employees by offering competitive salaries and wages. We offer comprehensive benefit packages designed to support employees' overall well-being. We have benefit packages available at all levels of the organization. The benefits package offered to our full-time employees includes:

•Comprehensive health, dental, vision, and life insurance.

•Parental leave available to all new parents for birth, adoption or foster placement.

•An Employee Assistance Program.

•401K program with company match.

•Paid time off including: vacation, sick, parental, bereavement, and holidays.

A thoughtful and well-planned approach has been taken to evaluate and execute benefits consolidation between Murphy USA and QuickChek, where appropriate. At present, several QuickChek benefit programs and vendors have been consolidated with Murphy USA's, including medical, dental, vision, flexible spending, and retirement. We continue to evaluate QuickChek's benefit plans, and such evaluation could lead to additional consolidation with the Murphy USA plans in the future.

We are committed to keeping our employees and customers safe through fostering and maintaining a strong safety culture and emphasizing the importance of our employees’ role in identifying, mitigating and communicating safety risks. We have continued to build our rapid response program to ensure safety events (i.e., slip and falls, medical emergencies, and vehicle accidents) are escalated quickly and responded to efficiently.

Properties

Our headquarters of approximately 120,000 square feet is located at 200 Peach Street, El Dorado, Arkansas. We also own and operate two other office buildings in El Dorado, Arkansas that house our store support center and technology services personnel, and we own and operate an office building and training center in Whitehouse Station, New Jersey for our QuickChek store support personnel.  We have numerous owned and leased properties for our retail fueling stores as described under “Description of Our Business,” as well as wholly-owned product distribution terminals.

Our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 are available on our website, free of charge, as soon as reasonably practicable after such reports are filed with, or furnished to, the SEC.  Alternatively, you may access these reports at the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. The information contained on these websites referenced herein is not incorporated by reference into this filing.

Item 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider each of the following risks and all of the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks, and, as a result, the trading price of our common stock could decline.

Risks Relating to our Company

Our operations present hazards and risks, which may not be fully covered by insurance, if insured.  If a significant accident or event occurs for which we are not adequately insured, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected. 

The scope and nature of our operations present a variety of operational hazards and risks, including explosions, fires, toxic emissions, and natural catastrophes that must be managed through continual oversight and control.  These and other risks are present throughout our operations.  As protection against these hazards and risks, we maintain insurance against many, but not all, potential losses or liabilities arising from such risks. Uninsured losses and liabilities arising from operating risks could reduce the funds available to us for capital and investment spending and could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. 

Our indebtedness could restrict our business and adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows; our leverage could increase the overall cost of debt funding and decrease the overall debt capacity and commercial credit available to us in the future.

We have debt obligations that could restrict our business and adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. This outstanding indebtedness could have significant consequences to our future operations, including:

•making it more difficult for us to meet our payment and other obligations under our outstanding debt;

13

•resulting in an event of default if we fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements, which event of default could result in all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable;

•reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;

•limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate and the general economy; and

•placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt or are less leveraged.

Any of the above-listed factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

In addition, our credit facilities and the indentures that govern the notes include restrictive covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, restrict or limit our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends, make certain investments, sell certain assets and enter into certain strategic transactions, including mergers and acquisitions. These covenants and restrictions could affect our ability to operate our business, and may limit our ability to react to market conditions or take advantage of potential business opportunities as they arise.

Our leverage may increase the overall cost of debt funding and decrease the overall debt capacity and commercial credit available to us.  Our leverage could increase with additional borrowings on our shelf registration statement. We have below investment-grade ratings on our notes from Moody’s and S&P while our credit facilities are rated investment grade. Our credit ratings could be lowered or withdrawn entirely by a ratings agency if, in its judgment, the circumstances warrant. If our existing ratings are lowered, or otherwise we do not obtain an investment grade rating in the future for the notes, or if we do and a rating agency were to downgrade us again to below investment grade, our borrowing costs would increase and our funding sources could decrease. Actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our ratings, including any announcement that our ratings are under review for a downgrade, could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and operating results.

The interest rates on our credit facilities may be impacted by the phase-out of the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the transition to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR").

Interest rates on borrowings under our credit agreement may be based on LIBOR. Following announcements by the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) and ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the FCA-regulated LIBOR administrator, publication of the one-week and two-month United States Dollar (“USD”)-LIBOR tenors ceased after December 31, 2021. While publication of all other USD-LIBOR tenors is expected to cease after June 30, 2023, U.S. regulators and the FCA have published guidance instructing banks to cease entering into new contracts referencing USD-LIBOR no later than December 31, 2021, with limited exceptions.

As of the date hereof, the current recommended replacement for USD-LIBOR is the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In March 2020, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York began publishing 30-, 90- and 180-day tenor SOFR Averages and a SOFR Index. In addition, forward-looking SOFR term rates are being published. However, the composition and characteristics of SOFR are not the same as those of LIBOR. As a result, there can be no assurance that SOFR or any rate based on SOFR will perform in the same way as LIBOR would have at any time. For example, since publication of SOFR began on April 3, 2018, daily changes in SOFR have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or other market rates.

Any transition away from LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the applicable interest rate is complex and may affect the cost of servicing our debt under our credit agreement. Although these borrowing arrangements provide for alternative base rates, the composition and characteristics of such alternative base rates are not the same as those of LIBOR, and the consequences of the phase-out of LIBOR cannot be entirely

14

predicted at this time. We expect to address the transition of all our LIBOR based contracts prior to June 30, 2023.

Our ability to meet our payment obligations under the notes and our other debt depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future.

Our ability to meet our payment and other obligations under our debt instruments, including the notes, depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future. This, to some extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors as well as other factors that are beyond our control. We cannot provide assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, or that future borrowings will be available to us under our credit agreement or any future credit facilities or otherwise, in an amount sufficient to enable us to meet our payment obligations under the notes and our other debt and to fund other liquidity needs. If we are not able to generate sufficient cash flow to service our debt obligations, we may need to refinance or restructure our debt, including the notes, sell assets, reduce or delay capital investments, or seek to raise additional capital. If we are unable to implement one or more of these alternatives, we may not be able to meet our payment obligations under the notes and our other debt.

Despite our current indebtedness levels, we may be able to incur substantially more debt. This could exacerbate further the risks associated with our leverage.

We and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional indebtedness, including secured indebtedness, in the future, subject to the terms of the indentures governing the notes and our credit agreement that limit our ability to do so. Such additional indebtedness may include additional notes, which will also be guaranteed by the guarantors, to the extent permitted by the indentures and our credit agreement. Although the indentures limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to create liens securing indebtedness, there are significant exceptions to these limitations that will allow us and our subsidiaries to secure significant amounts of indebtedness without equally and ratably securing the notes. If we or our subsidiaries incur secured indebtedness and such secured indebtedness is either accelerated or becomes subject to a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our and our subsidiaries' assets would be used to satisfy obligations with respect to the indebtedness secured thereby before any payment could be made on the notes that are not similarly secured. In addition, the indentures governing the Senior Notes will not prevent us or our subsidiaries from incurring other liabilities that do not constitute indebtedness. If new debt or other liabilities are added to our current debt levels, the related risks that we now face could intensify.

In connection with our Separation from Murphy Oil, Murphy Oil has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities and we have agreed to indemnify Murphy Oil for certain liabilities. If we are required to act under these indemnities to Murphy Oil, we may need to divert cash to meet those obligations and our financial results could be negatively impacted. The Murphy Oil indemnity may not be sufficient to insure us against the full amount of liabilities for which it will be allocated responsibility, and Murphy Oil may not be able to satisfy its indemnification obligations to us in the future.

Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement ("the Separation") and certain other agreements with Murphy Oil, Murphy Oil has agreed to indemnify us for certain liabilities, and we have agreed to indemnify Murphy Oil for certain liabilities. Indemnities that we may be required to provide Murphy Oil are not subject to any cap, may be significant and could negatively impact our business, particularly indemnities relating to our actions that could impact the tax-free nature of the distribution. Third parties could also seek to hold us responsible for any of the liabilities that Murphy Oil has agreed to retain, and under certain circumstances, we may be subject to continuing contingent liabilities of Murphy Oil following the Separation. Further, Murphy Oil may not be able to fully satisfy its indemnification obligations. Moreover, even if we ultimately succeed in recovering from Murphy Oil any amounts for which we are held liable, we may be temporarily required to bear these losses ourselves. Each of these risks could negatively affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Volatility in the global prices of oil and petroleum products and general economic conditions that are largely out of our control, as well as seasonal variations in fuel pricing, can significantly affect our operating results.

Our net income is significantly affected by changes in the margins on retail and wholesale gasoline marketing operations. Oil and domestic wholesale gasoline markets are volatile. General political conditions, acts of war or terrorism, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, instability in oil producing regions, particularly in the Middle East and South America, and the value of U.S. dollars relative to other foreign currencies, particularly those of oil producing nations, have significantly affected and in the future could significantly affect oil supplies and wholesale gasoline costs. In addition, the supply of gasoline and our wholesale purchase costs can be adversely affected in the event of a shortage, which could result from, among other things, lack of capacity at oil refineries, sustained increase in global demand or the fact that our gasoline contracts do not guarantee an uninterrupted, unlimited supply of gasoline. Our wholesale purchase costs could also be adversely affected by increasingly stringent regulations regarding the content and characteristics of fuel products. Significant increases and volatility in wholesale gasoline costs could result in lower gasoline gross margins per gallon. This volatility makes it extremely difficult to predict the effect that future wholesale cost fluctuations will have on our operating results and financial condition in future periods.

Except in limited cases, we typically do not seek to hedge any significant portion of our exposure to the effects of changing prices of commodities. Dramatic increases in oil prices reduce retail gasoline gross margins, because wholesale gasoline costs typically increase faster than retailers are able to pass them along to customers. We purchase refined products, particularly gasoline, needed to supply our retail stores. Therefore, our most significant costs are subject to volatility of prices for these commodities. Our ability to successfully manage operating costs is important because we have little or no influence on the sales prices or regional and worldwide consumer demand for oil and gasoline. Furthermore, oil prices, wholesale motor fuel costs, motor fuel sales volumes, motor fuel gross margins and merchandise sales can be subject to seasonal fluctuations.  For example, consumer demand for motor fuel typically increases during the summer driving season, and typically falls during the winter months.  Travel, recreation and construction are typically higher in these months in the geographic areas in which we operate, increasing the demand for motor fuel and merchandise that we sell. Therefore, our revenues and/or sales volumes are typically higher in the second and third quarters of our fiscal year. A significant change in any of these factors, including a significant decrease in consumer demand (other than typical seasonal variations), could materially affect our motor fuel and merchandise volumes, motor fuel gross profit and overall customer traffic, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Further, recessionary economic conditions, higher interest rates, higher gasoline and other energy costs, inflation, increases in commodity prices, higher levels of unemployment, higher consumer debt levels, higher tax rates and other changes in tax laws or other economic factors may affect consumer spending or buying habits, and could adversely affect the demand for products we sell at our retail stores. Unfavorable economic conditions, higher gasoline prices and unemployment levels can affect consumer confidence, spending patterns and vehicle miles driven. These factors can lead to sales declines in both gasoline and general merchandise, and in turn have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Walmart continues to be a key relationship with regard to our Murphy USA network.

At December 31, 2022, most of our Murphy branded stores were located in close proximity to Walmart Supercenter stores. Therefore, our relationship with Walmart, the continued goodwill of Walmart and the integrity of Walmart’s brand name in the retail marketplace are all important drivers for our business. Any deterioration in our relationship with Walmart could have an adverse effect on operations of the stores that are branded Murphy USA and participate in a discount. In addition, our competitive posture could be weakened by negative changes at Walmart. Many of our Company stores benefit from customer traffic generated by Walmart retail stores, and if the customer traffic through these host stores decreases due to the economy or for any other reason, our sales could be materially and adversely affected.

16

The current level of revenue that is generated from RINs may not be sustainable.

Murphy USA's business is impacted by its ability to generate revenues from capturing and subsequently selling Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs"), a practice enabled through the blending of petroleum-based fuels with renewable fuels.  RIN prices also have an impact on our cost of goods sold for petroleum products, which can be positive or negative depending on the movement of RIN prices. The market price for RINs fluctuates based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to governmental and regulatory action and market dynamics.  In 2022, RIN prices continued to fluctuate but were higher on average due to uncertainty of future regulations. Although a decline in RIN prices could have a material impact on the Company's revenues, Murphy USA's business model is not dependent on its ability to generate revenues from the sale of RINs.

Current litigation and future rule making could impact the Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") program. The RFS program is the regulatory means by which the federal government requires the introduction of an increasing amount of renewable fuel into the fuel supply. As it is, refiners are obligated to obtain—either by blending biofuels into petroleum-based fuels or through purchase on the open market—and then retire with the federal government RINs to satisfy their individual obligations. On December 1, 2022, the EPA announced a proposed rule to establish blending mandates for 2023, 2024, and 2025. This is the EPA's first RFS proposal since the statutory volumetric blending mandates that Congress established in 2007 have expired.

We are exposed to risks associated with the interruption of supply and increased costs as a result of our reliance on third-party supply and transportation of refined products.

We utilize key product supply and wholesale assets, including our pipeline positions and product distribution terminals, to supply our retail fueling stores. Much of our competitive advantage arises out of these proprietary arrangements which, when disrupted, have in the past and could in the future adversely affect us, and such effects could be material. The lasting effects of the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic continues to cause disruptions in supply chains into 2023. In addition to our own operational risks discussed above, we could experience interruptions of supply or increases in costs to deliver refined products to market if the ability of the pipelines or vessels to transport petroleum or refined products is disrupted because of weather events, accidents, governmental regulations or third-party actions. Furthermore, at some of our locations there are very few suppliers for fuel in that market.

 Changes in credit card expenses could reduce our profitability, especially on gasoline.

A significant portion of our retail sales involve payment using credit cards. We are assessed credit card fees as a percentage of transaction amounts and not as a fixed dollar amount or percentage of our gross margins. Higher gasoline prices result in higher credit card expenses, and an increase in credit card use or an increase in credit card fees would have a similar effect. Therefore, credit card fees charged on gasoline purchases that are more expensive as a result of higher gasoline prices are not necessarily accompanied by higher gross margins. In fact, such fees may cause lower profitability. Lower income on gasoline sales caused by higher credit card fees may decrease our overall profitability and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Failure to maintain the quality and safety of our food products could adversely impact our reputation and business.

As we continue to focus on enhancing our food and beverage offerings, concerns regarding the quality or safety of our food products or our food supply chain, even if factually incorrect or based on isolated incidents, could hurt our sales of prepared food products and possibly lead to product liability and personal injury claims, litigation, government agency investigations and damages.

Walmart retains certain rights in its agreements with us, which may adversely impact our ability to conduct our business.

Our owned properties that were purchased from Walmart are subject to Easements with Covenants and Restrictions Affecting Land (the “ECRs”) between us and Walmart. The ECRs impose customary restrictions on the use of our properties, which Walmart has the right to enforce. The ECRs also provide that if we propose to

17

sell a fueling store property or any portion thereof (other than in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of our properties that were purchased from Walmart or in connection with a bona fide financing), Walmart has a right of first refusal to purchase such property or portion thereof on similar terms. Subject to certain exceptions (including a merger in which we participate, the transfer of any of our securities or a change in control of us), if we market for sale to a third party all or substantially all of our properties that were purchased from Walmart, or if we receive an unsolicited offer to purchase such properties that we intend to accept, we are required to notify Walmart. Walmart then has the right, within 90 days of receipt of such notice, to make an offer to purchase such properties. If Walmart makes such an offer, for a period of one year we will generally only be permitted to accept third-party offers where the net consideration to us would be greater than that offered by Walmart.

The ECRs also prohibit us from transferring all or substantially all of our fueling store properties that were purchased from Walmart to a “competitor” of Walmart, as reasonably determined by Walmart. The term “competitor” is generally defined in the ECRs as an entity that owns, operates or controls grocery stores or supermarkets, wholesale club operations similar to that of a Sam’s Club, discount department stores or other discount retailers similar to any of the various Walmart store prototypes or pharmacy or drug stores.

Similarly, some of our leased properties are subject to certain rights retained by Walmart. Our master lease agreement states that if Murphy Oil USA, Inc. is acquired or becomes party to any merger or consolidation that results in a material change in the management of the stores, Walmart will have the option to purchase the stores at fair market value. The master lease also prohibits us from selling all or any portion of a store without first offering to sell all or such portion to Walmart on the same terms and conditions. These provisions may restrict our ability to conduct our business on the terms and in the manner we consider most favorable and may adversely affect our future growth.

An inability to maintain a multi-year new store project pipeline may cause our Company's growth to slow in 2023 and beyond.

Our ability to grow by up to 45 new stores and up to 30 raze-and-rebuild stores in 2023 and by up to 55 NTI stores and 25 raze-and-rebuild stores in future years relies on the continued growth of our project pipeline and the building material supply chain. We have a very active Asset Development group that works to focus on our key target areas to locate suitable traffic count locations for this future growth. If the Asset Development group is unable to locate suitable locations or is unable to close the purchase for those locations in a timely fashion, the Company could find that it does not have sufficient land to fulfill its pipeline. Further, permitting delays due to local government agency ability to timely respond to our requests or construction delays from supply chain or labor constraints could also negatively impact our project pipeline.

We currently have one primary supplier for over 74% of our merchandise. A disruption in supply could have a material effect on our business.

In 2022, over 74% of our merchandise, including most tobacco products and grocery items, was purchased from a single wholesale grocer, Core-Mark. In January 2021, we renewed and extended for another five years a supply contract with Core-Mark. If Core-Mark is unable to fulfill its obligations under our contract, alternative suppliers that we could use in the event of a disruption may not be immediately available or offer merchandise on similar commercial terms. A disruption in supply could have a material effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Capital financing may not always be available to fund our activities.

We usually must spend and risk a significant amount of capital to fund our activities. Although most capital needs are funded from operating cash flow, the timing of cash flows from operations and capital funding needs may not always coincide, and the levels of cash flow may not fully cover capital funding requirements.

From time to time, we may need to supplement our cash generated from operations with proceeds from financing activities. We have entered into a credit facility to provide us with available financing for working capital and other general corporate purposes. This credit facility is intended to meet any ongoing cash needs in excess of internally generated cash flows. Uncertainty and volatility in financial markets may materially impact the ability of the participating financial institutions to fund their commitments to us under our credit facility.

18

Accordingly, we may not be able to obtain the full amount of the funds available under our credit facility to satisfy our cash requirements, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial position.

We could be adversely affected if we are not able to attract and retain qualified personnel.

We are dependent on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. If, for any reason, we are not able to attract and retain qualified personnel, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to the QuickChek Acquisition

The anticipated benefits of the QuickChek acquisition may not be realized or those benefits may take longer to realize than expected.

The long-term success of the QuickChek acquisition will depend, on our ability to realize the forecasted benefits and cost savings from our acquisition of QuickChek. We may not be able to maintain the growth rate, levels of revenue, earnings, or operating efficiency that we and QuickChek have achieved to-date, or might have achieved separately.

Many factors affecting our ability to realize anticipated benefits are outside of our control and any one of them could result in increased costs, decreases in the amount of expected revenues, and could materially impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, even upon fully integrating QuickChek into our operations, the full benefits of our acquisition may not be realized, including the synergies, cost savings, or sales or growth opportunities as originally anticipated. An inability to realize the full extent of, or any of, the anticipated benefits of the QuickChek acquisition could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

We may need to recognize impairment charges related to goodwill, identified intangible assets and fixed assets.

We have balances of goodwill and intangible assets as a result of the QuickChek acquisition. We are required to test goodwill and any other intangible assets with an indefinite life for possible impairment on the same date each year and on an interim basis if there are indicators of a possible impairment. We are also required to evaluate amortizable intangible assets and fixed assets for impairment if there are indicators of a possible impairment.

There is significant judgement required in the analysis of a potential impairment of goodwill, identified intangible assets and fixed assets. If, as a result of a general economic slowdown, deterioration in one or more of the markets in which we operate or impairment in our financial performance and/or future outlook, the estimated fair value of our long–lived assets decreases, we may determine that one or more of our long–lived assets is impaired. An impairment charge would be determined based on the estimated fair value of the assets and any such impairment charge could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Risks Relating to Our Industry

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, may disrupt consumption and trade patterns, supply chains and normal business activities, which could materially affect our operations and results of operations.

Pandemics or disease outbreaks, such as COVID-19, have in the past and may in the future cause depressed demand for our fuel and convenience merchandise products because quarantines may inhibit the ability or need for our customers to shop with us. We also may experience disruptions of logistics necessary to obtain and deliver products to our stores and our customers as we rely on third parties to perform these vital functions to our business.

19

In addition, we could again experience issues with our workforce that limit our ability to continue to operate our stores at their normal hours of operations or experience government intervention that requires us to reduce hours or close certain locations. If a significant percentage of our workforce is unable to work, including because of illness or travel or government restrictions in connection with pandemics or disease outbreaks, our operations may be negatively impacted. In addition, pandemics or disease outbreaks could result in an economic downturn that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect customers' demand for our products and services. We have had to reduce hours of operation in some stores temporarily, but this has not had a material impact on our financial results.

We operate in a highly competitive industry, which could adversely affect us in many ways, including our profitability, our ability to grow, and our ability to manage our businesses.

We operate in the oil and gas industry and experience intense competition from other independent retail and wholesale gasoline marketing companies. The U.S. petroleum marketing business is highly competitive, particularly with regard to accessing and marketing petroleum and other refined products. We compete with other chains of retail fuel stores for fuel supply and in the retail sale of refined products to end consumers, primarily on the basis of price, but also on the basis of convenience and consumer appeal. In addition, we may also face competition from other retail fueling stores that adopt marketing strategies similar to ours by associating with non-traditional retailers, such as supermarkets, discount club stores and hypermarkets, particularly in the geographic areas in which we operate. We expect that our industry will continue to trend toward this model, resulting in increased competition to us over time. Moreover, because we do not produce or refine any of the petroleum or other refined products that we market, we compete with retail gasoline companies that have ongoing supply relationships with affiliates or former affiliates that manufacture refined products. We also compete with integrated companies that have their own production and/or refining operations that are at times able to offset losses from marketing operations with profits from producing or refining operations, and may be better positioned to withstand periods of depressed retail margins or supply shortages. In addition, we compete with other retail and wholesale gasoline marketing companies that have more extensive retail outlets and greater brand name recognition. Some of our competitors have been in existence longer than we have and have greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. As a result, these competitors may have a greater ability to bear the economic risks inherent in all phases of our business and may be able to respond better to changes in the economy and new opportunities within the industry. Such competition could adversely affect us, including our profitability, our ability to grow and our ability to manage our business.

In addition, the retail gasoline industry in the United States is highly competitive due to ease of entry and constant change in the number and type of retailers offering similar products and services. With respect to merchandise, our retail stores compete with other convenience store chains, independently owned convenience stores, supermarkets, drugstores, discount clubs, gasoline service stores, mass merchants, fast food operations and other similar retail outlets. Non-traditional retailers, including supermarkets, discount club stores and mass merchants, now compete directly with retail gasoline stores. These non-traditional gasoline retailers have obtained a significant share of the gasoline market, and their market share is expected to grow, and these retailers may use promotional pricing or discounts, both at the fuel pump and in the convenience store, to encourage in-store merchandise sales and gasoline sales. In addition, some large retailers and supermarkets are adjusting their store layouts and product prices in an attempt to appeal to convenience store customers. Major competitive factors include: location, ease of access, product and service selection, gasoline brands, pricing, customer service, store appearance, cleanliness and safety. Competition from these retailers may reduce our market share and our revenues, and the resulting impact on our business and results of operations could be materially adverse.

Future tobacco legislation, potential court rulings affecting the tobacco industry, campaigns to discourage smoking, increases in tobacco taxes and wholesale cost increases of tobacco products could have a material adverse impact on our retail operating revenues and gross margin.

Sales of tobacco products have historically accounted for an important portion of our total sales of convenience store merchandise. Significant increases in wholesale cigarette costs and tax increases on tobacco products, as well as future legislation, potential rulings in court cases impacting the tobacco industry, and national and local campaigns to discourage smoking in the United States, may have an adverse effect on the demand for tobacco products, and therefore reduce our revenues and profits. Also, increasing regulations,

20

including those for e-cigarettes and vapor products could offset some of the recent gains we have experienced from selling these products.  Governing bodies continue to consider banning flavored tobacco products and have done so in some instances. If such efforts continue to be successful, it could have a further negative impact on our tobacco sales. These factors could materially and adversely affect our retail price of cigarettes, tobacco unit volume and sales, merchandise gross margin and overall customer traffic. Reduced sales of tobacco products or smaller gross margins on the sales we make could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Currently, major cigarette manufacturers offer substantial rebates to retailers. We include these rebates as a component of our gross margin. In the event these rebates are no longer offered, or decreased, our profit from cigarette sales will decrease accordingly. In addition, reduced retail display allowances on cigarettes offered by cigarette manufacturers would negatively affect gross margins. These factors could materially affect our retail price of cigarettes, cigarette unit volume and revenues, merchandise gross margin and overall customer traffic, which could in turn have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Changes in consumer behavior and travel as a result of changing economic conditions, the development of alternative energy technologies or otherwise could affect our business.

In the retail gasoline industry, customer traffic is generally driven by consumer preferences and spending trends, growth rates for commercial truck traffic and trends in travel and weather. Changes in economic conditions generally, or in the regions in which we operate, could adversely affect consumer spending patterns and travel in our markets. In particular, weakening economic conditions may result in decreases in miles driven and discretionary consumer spending and travel, which affect spending on gasoline and convenience items. In addition, changes in the types of products and services demanded by consumers may adversely affect our merchandise sales and gross margin. Additionally, negative publicity or perception surrounding gasoline suppliers could adversely affect their reputation and brand image, which may negatively affect our gasoline sales and gross margin. Our success depends on our ability to anticipate and respond in a timely manner to changing consumer demands and preferences while continuing to sell products and services that remain relevant to the consumer and thus will positively impact overall retail gross margin.

Similarly, advanced technology, improved fuel efficiency and increased use of “green” automobiles (e.g., those automobiles that do not use gasoline or that are powered by hybrid engines) will reduce demand for gasoline and could otherwise change our customers' shopping habits or lead to new forms of fueling destinations or new competitive pressures. Developments regarding climate change and the effects of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change and the environment have led to increased use of “green” automobiles. In addition, in August 2021, the Biden Administration issued an executive order which set a target to make half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 zero emission vehicles. Other market and social initiatives such as public and private initiatives that aim to subsidize the development of non-fossil fuel energy sources may also reduce the competitiveness of gasoline. Consequently, the increased adoption of "green" automobiles and general attitudes toward gasoline and its relationship to the environment may significantly affect our sales and ability to market our products. Reduced consumer demand for gasoline could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our operations and earnings have been and will continue to be affected by worldwide political developments.

Many governments, including those that are members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (“OPEC”), unilaterally intervene at times in the orderly market of petroleum and natural gas produced in their countries through such actions as setting prices, determining rates of production, and controlling who may buy and sell the production. In addition, prices and availability of petroleum, natural gas and refined products could be influenced by political unrest and by various governmental policies to restrict or increase petroleum usage and supply. Other governmental actions that could affect our operations and earnings include tax changes, royalty increases and regulations concerning: currency fluctuations, protection and remediation of the environment, concerns over the possibility of global warming being affected by human activity including the production and use of hydrocarbon energy, restraints and controls on imports and exports, safety, and relationships between employers and employees. As a retail gasoline marketing company, we are significantly

21

affected by these factors. Because these and other factors are subject to changes caused by governmental and political considerations and are often made in response to changing internal and worldwide economic conditions and to actions of other governments or specific events, it is not practical to attempt to predict the effects of such factors on our future operations and earnings.

Our business is subject to operational hazards and risks normally associated with the marketing of petroleum products.

We operate in many different locations around the United States. The occurrence of an event, including but not limited to acts of nature such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes and other forms of severe weather, and mechanical equipment failures, industrial accidents, fires, explosions, acts of war and intentional terrorist attacks could result in damage to our facilities, and the resulting interruption and loss of associated revenues; environmental pollution or contamination; and personal injury, including death, for which we could be deemed to be liable, and which could subject us to substantial fines and/or claims for punitive damages.

We store gasoline in storage tanks at our retail stores. Our operations are subject to significant hazards and risks inherent in storing gasoline. These hazards and risks include, but are not limited to, fires, explosions, spills, discharges and other releases, any of which could result in distribution difficulties and disruptions, environmental pollution, fines imposed by governmental agencies or cleanup obligations, personal injury or wrongful death claims and other damage to our properties and the properties of others. Any such event could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Certain of our assets such as gasoline terminals and certain retail fueling stores lie near the U.S. coastline and are vulnerable to hurricane and tropical storm damages, which may result in shutdowns. The U.S. hurricane season runs from June through November, but the most severe storm activities usually occur in late summer. Moreover, it should be noted that some scientists have predicted that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere may produce climate changes that have significant physical effects, such as increased frequency and severity of storms, droughts, and floods and other climatic events, which could adversely impact our operations. Although we maintain insurance for certain of these risks as described below, due to policy deductibles and possible coverage limits, weather-related risks are not fully insured.

We are subject to various environmental laws, regulations and permit requirements, which could expose us to significant expenditures, liabilities or obligations and reduce product demand.

We are subject to stringent federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing, among other things, the generation, storage, handling, use and transportation of petroleum products and hazardous materials; the emission and discharge of such substances into the environment; the content and characteristics of fuel products; the process safety of our facilities; and human health and safety. Pursuant to such environmental laws and regulations, we are also required to obtain permits from governmental authorities for certain of our operations. While we strive to abide by these requirements, we cannot assure you that we have been or will be at all times in compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. If we violate or fail to comply with these requirements, we could be subject to litigation, costs, fines or other sanctions. Environmental requirements, and the enforcement and interpretation thereof, change frequently and have generally become more stringent over time. Compliance with existing and future environmental laws, regulations and permits may require significant expenditures. In addition, to the extent fuel content and characteristic standards increase our wholesale purchase costs, we may be adversely affected if we are unable to recover such costs in our pricing.

 We could be subject to joint and several as well as strict liability for environmental contamination, without regard to fault or the legality of our conduct. In particular, we could be liable for contamination relating to properties that we own, lease or operate or that we or our predecessors previously owned, leased or operated. Substantially all of these properties have or in the past had storage tanks to store motor fuel or petroleum products. Leaks from such tanks may impact soil or groundwater and could result in substantial costs. We could also be held responsible for contamination relating to third-party sites to which we or our predecessors have sent regulated materials. In addition to potentially significant investigation and remediation costs, any such contamination, leaks from storage tanks or other releases of regulated materials can give rise to

22

claims from governmental authorities and other third parties for fines or penalties, natural resource damages, personal injury and property damage.

Our business is also affected by fuel economy standards and GHG vehicle emission reduction measures. As such fuel economy and GHG reduction requirements become more stringent over time, demand for our products may be adversely affected. In addition, some of our facilities are subject to GHG regulation. We are currently required to report annual GHG emissions from certain of our operations, and additional GHG emission-related requirements that may affect our business have been finalized or are in various phases of discussion or implementation. Any existing or future GHG emission requirements could result in increased operating costs and additional compliance expenses.

Our expenditures, liabilities and obligations relating to environmental matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, product demand, reputation, results of operations and financial condition.

Our retail operations are subject to extensive government laws and regulations, and the cost of compliance with such laws and regulations can be material.

Our retail operations are subject to extensive local, state and federal governmental laws and regulations relating to, among other things, the sale of alcohol, tobacco, lottery and lotto, employment conditions, including minimum wage requirements, and public accessibility requirements. The cost of compliance with these laws and regulations can have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, failure to comply with local, state and federal laws and regulations to which our operations are subject may result in penalties and costs that could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In certain areas where our retail stores are located, state or local laws limit the retail stores’ hours of operation or sale of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, possible inhalants and lottery tickets, in particular to minors. Failure to comply with these laws could adversely affect our revenues and results of operations because these state and local regulatory agencies have the power to revoke, suspend or deny applications for and renewals of permits and licenses relating to the sale of these products or to seek other remedies, such as the imposition of fines or other penalties.

 Regulations related to wages also affect our business. Any appreciable increase in the statutory minimum wage or changes in overtime rules would result in an increase in our labor costs and such cost increase, or the penalties for failing to comply with such statutory minimums, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Any changes in the laws or regulations described above that are adverse to us and our properties could affect our operating and financial performance. In addition, new regulations are proposed from time to time which, if adopted, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Future consumer or other litigation could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Our retail operations are characterized by a high volume of customer traffic and by transactions involving a wide array of product selections. These operations carry a higher exposure to consumer litigation risk when compared to the operations of companies operating in many other industries. Consequently, we have been, and may in the future be from time to time, involved in lawsuits seeking cash settlements for alleged personal injuries, property damages and other business-related matters, as well as energy content, off-specification gasoline, products liability and other legal actions in the ordinary course of our business. While these actions are generally routine in nature and incidental to the operation of our business, if our assessment of any action or actions should prove inaccurate, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected. For more information about our legal matters, see Note 20 “Contingencies” to the consolidated historical financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2022 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Further, adverse publicity about consumer or other litigation may negatively affect us, regardless of whether the allegations are true, by discouraging customers from purchasing gasoline or merchandise at our retail stores.

23

We rely on our technology systems and network infrastructure to manage numerous aspects of our business, and a disruption of these systems could adversely affect our business.

We depend on our technology systems and network infrastructure to manage numerous aspects of our business and provide analytical information to management. These systems are an essential component of our business and growth strategies, and a serious disruption to them could significantly limit our ability to manage and operate our business efficiently. These systems are vulnerable to, among other things, damage and interruption from power loss or natural disasters, computer system and network failures, loss of telecommunications services, physical and electronic loss of data, security breaches and computer viruses, which could result in a loss of sensitive personal data, including credit and debit card information from our customers, sensitive business information, systems interruption or the disruption of our business operations. To protect against unauthorized access or attacks, we have implemented infrastructure protection technologies such as theft and disaster recovery plans, but there can be no assurance that a technology systems breach or systems failure, which may occur and go undetected, will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our business and our reputation could be adversely affected by the failure to protect sensitive customer, employee or vendor data or to comply with applicable regulations relating to data security and privacy.

In the normal course of our business as a gasoline and merchandise retailer, we obtain large amounts of personal data, including credit and debit card information from our customers. We also engage third-party vendors that provide technology, systems, and services to facilitate our collection, retention, processing and transmission of this information. While we have invested significant amounts in the protection of our technology systems and maintain what we believe are adequate security controls over individually identifiable customer, employee and vendor data provided to us, a breakdown or a breach in our systems that results in the unauthorized release of individually identifiable customer or other sensitive data could nonetheless occur and have a material adverse effect on our reputation, operating results and financial condition. Such a breakdown or breach could also materially increase the costs we incur to protect against such risks. Also, a material failure on our part, or the part of our vendors, to comply with regulations relating to our obligation to protect such sensitive data or the privacy rights of our customers, employees and others could subject us to fines or other regulatory sanctions and potentially to lawsuits and adversely affect our brand name.

 Compliance with and changes in tax laws could adversely affect our performance.

We are subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions, including income taxes, indirect taxes (excise/duty, sales/use and gross receipts taxes), payroll taxes, franchise taxes, withholding taxes and ad valorem taxes. Tax laws and regulations are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations of existing laws are issued and applied. This activity could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Many of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.

Risks Relating to Our Common Stock

The price of our common stock may fluctuate significantly and if securities or industry analysts publish unfavorable research reports about our business or if they downgrade their rating on our common stock, the price of our common stock could decline.

The price at which our common stock trades may fluctuate significantly.  The trading price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

•fluctuations in quarterly or annual results of operations, especially if they differ from our previously announced guidance or forecasts made by analysts;

•announcements by us of anticipated future revenues or operating results, or by others concerning us, our competitors, our customers, or our industry;

24

•our ability to execute our business plan;

•competitive environment;

•regulatory developments; and

•changes in overall stock market conditions, including the stock prices of our competitors.

Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and certain provisions of Delaware law could delay or prevent a change in control of us.

The existence of some provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and Delaware law could discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of us that a stockholder may consider favorable. These include provisions:

•providing for a classified board of directors;

•providing that our directors may be removed by our stockholders only for cause;

•establishing super majority vote requirements for our shareholders to amend certain provisions of our Certificate of Incorporation and our Bylaws;

•authorizing a large number of shares of stock that are not yet issued, which would allow our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, thereby protecting the continuity of our management, or which could be used to dilute the stock ownership of persons seeking to obtain control of us;

•prohibiting stockholders from calling special meetings of stockholders or taking action by written consent; and

•establishing advance notice requirements for nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted on by stockholders at the annual stockholder meetings.

In addition, we are subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which may have an anti-takeover effect with respect to transactions not approved in advance by our board of directors, including discouraging takeover attempts that could have resulted in a premium over the market price for shares of our common stock.

These provisions apply even if a takeover offer may be considered beneficial by some stockholders and could delay or prevent an acquisition that our board of directors determines is not in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

We may issue preferred stock with terms that could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock.

Our Certificate of Incorporation authorizes us to issue, without the approval of our stockholders, one or more classes or series of preferred stock having such designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions as our board of directors generally may determine. The terms of one or more classes or series of preferred stock could dilute the voting power or reduce the value of our common stock. For example, we could grant holders of preferred stock the right to elect some number of our directors in all events or on the happening of specified events or the right to veto specified transactions. Similarly, the repurchase or redemption rights or dividend, distribution or liquidation preferences we could assign to holders of preferred stock could affect the residual value of the common stock.

Our Bylaws designate a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions and proceedings that may be initiated by our stockholders, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a preferred judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees.

25

Our Bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Delaware General Corporation Law, our Certificate of Incorporation (including any certificate of designations for any class or series of our preferred stock) or our Bylaws, in each case, as amended from time to time, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act will be the federal district courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock is deemed to have received notice of and consented to the foregoing provision. This forum selection provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable or cost-effective for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and employees. Conversely, if a court were to find our choice of forum provision inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions and we may not obtain the benefits of limiting jurisdiction to the courts selected.

Part II

Item 5.  MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

The Company’s common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange using “MUSA” as the trading symbol.  There were 1,561 stockholders of record as of December 31, 2022.  

The declaration and amount of any dividends to holders of our common stock will be at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend upon many factors, including our financial condition, earnings, cash flows, capital requirements of our business, covenants associated with our debt obligations, legal requirements, regulatory constraints, industry practice and other factors the board of directors deem relevant. 

We are a holding company and have no direct operations. As a result, we are able to pay dividends on our common stock only from available cash on hand and distributions received from our subsidiaries. We declared and paid dividends of $1.27 per share during 2022, $1.04 per share 2021, $0.25 per share in 2020, and we expect to continue quarterly dividend payments in the future.

The indenture governing the Senior Notes and the credit agreement governing our credit facilities and term loan contain restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Murphy USA and the restricted subsidiaries to make certain restricted payments, which as defined under both agreements, include the declaration or payment of any dividends of any sort in respect of its capital stock and repurchase of shares of our common stock.  See “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operating Results—Capital Resources and Liquidity—Debt” and Note 10 “Long-Term Debt” to the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2022 for additional information.

Executive Overview

 On January 29, 2021, MUSA acquired 100% of Quick Chek Corporation ("QuickChek"), a privately held convenience store chain with a strong regional brand that consisted of 156 stores at the time of acquisition, located in New Jersey and New York, in an all-cash transaction. The acquisition expanded the MUSA network into the Northeast by adding high-performance stores that had an existing best-in-class food and beverage model and is consistent with the Company's stated strategic priorities of developing enhanced food and beverage capabilities. For additional information concerning the acquisition, see Note 6, "Business Acquisition" in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements.

QuickChek uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. Current year QuickChek results cover the period from January 1, 2022 to December 30, 2022 and in the prior year covered January 29, 2021 (the date of acquisition) to December 31, 2021. The difference in the timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.

Our Business

The Company owns and operates a chain of retail stores that market gasoline and other merchandise under the brand names of Murphy USA®, Murphy Express, and QuickChek. Murphy USA® branded stores are almost all located in close proximity to Walmart stores, principally in the Southeast, Midwest and Southwest areas of the United States. Our standalone stores operate under the Murphy Express brand and market

32

gasoline and other products. We also have a mix of convenience stores and retail gasoline stores located in New Jersey and New York that operate under the brand name of QuickChek®. At December 31, 2022, we had a total of 1,712 Company stores in 27 states, of which 1,151 were Murphy USA, 404 were Murphy Express and 157 were QuickChek. We also market to unbranded wholesale customers through a mixture of Company owned and third-party terminals.

Trends Affecting Our Business

Our operations are significantly impacted by the gross margins we receive on our fuel and merchandise sales. The fuel gross margins are commodity-based, change daily and are volatile. While we generally expect our total fuel and merchandise sales volumes to grow over time and the gross margins to remain strong in a normalized environment, these sales and gross margins can change rapidly due to many factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the price of refined products, interruptions in our fuel and merchandise supply caused by severe weather or pandemics, the effects from pandemics such as travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders, severe refinery mechanical failures for an extended period of time, cyber-attacks against the Company or our vendors, changing economic conditions such as inflation, and competition in the local markets in which we operate.

The cost of our main fuel products, gasoline and diesel, is greatly impacted by the cost of crude oil in the United States. Historically, a rising price environment for crude oil increases the Company’s cost for wholesale fuel products purchased and increases the price of retail fuel sales. Rising prices tend to cause consumers to reduce discretionary fuel consumption, however our low-price model can serve as a hedge to draw in new customers which can offset the potential loss of discretionary volumes. When wholesale fuel costs rise, the Company is not able to pass these price increases immediately on to retail customers at the pump, which in turn can negatively impact the Company’s margins. In recent periods, however, we have noticed a structural change in the industry's breakeven costs that has driven marginal retailers to preserve margins which, in turn, has allowed the Company to adjust retail prices in a more timely manner. Crude oil prices in 2022 continued to be volatile during the year with prices ranging from $71 per barrel to $124 per barrel, with an average price of $95 per barrel, compared to prices in 2021 that ranged from $47 per barrel to $86 per barrel with an average of $68 per barrel. Total fuel contribution (retail fuel margin plus product supply and wholesale ("PS&W") results including Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs")) was 34.3 cpg in 2022, compared to 26.3 cpg in 2021.

Our revenues are impacted by our ability to leverage our diverse supply infrastructure in pursuit of obtaining the lowest cost of fuel supply available; for example, activities such as blending bulk fuel with ethanol and biodiesel to capture and subsequently sell Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINs”).  Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") is authorized to set annual quotas establishing the percentage of motor fuels consumed in the United States that must be attributable to renewable fuels. Obligated parties are required to demonstrate that they have met any applicable quotas by submitting a certain amount of RINs to the EPA. RINs in excess of the set quota can then be sold in a market for RINs at then-prevailing prices.  The market price for RINs fluctuates based on a variety of factors, including but not limited to governmental and regulatory action. There are other market related factors that can impact the net benefit we receive for RINs on a company-wide basis either favorably or unfavorably.  The Renewable Fuel Standard ("RFS") program continues to be unpredictable and prices received for ethanol RINs averaged $1.42 per RIN for the year 2022 compared to $1.31 in 2021. Our business model does not depend on our ability to generate revenues from RINs.  Revenue from the sales of RINs is included in “Other operating revenues” in the Consolidated Income Statements.

As of December 31, 2022, we had $1.3 billion of Senior Notes and a $394 million term loan outstanding. We believe that we will generate sufficient cash from operations to fund our ongoing operating requirements and service our debt obligations. At December 31, 2022, we had additional available capacity under the committed $350 million cash flow revolving credit facility, with none drawn. We expect to use the credit facilities to provide us with available financing to meet any short-term ongoing cash needs in excess of internally generated cash flows. To the extent necessary, we will borrow under these facilities to fund our ongoing operating requirements. There can be no assurances, however, that we will generate sufficient cash from operations or be able to draw on the credit facilities, obtain commitments for our incremental facility and/or

33

obtain and draw upon other credit facilities. For additional information, see Significant Sources of Capital in the Capital Resources and Liquidity section.

The Company currently anticipates total capital expenditures (including land for future development) for the full year 2023 to range from approximately $375 million to $425 million depending on how many new stores are completed.  We intend to fund our capital program in 2023 primarily using operating cash flow, but will supplement funding where necessary using borrowings under available credit facilities.

We believe that our business will continue to grow in the future as we expand the food and beverage capabilities within our network. We have an active real estate development team that maintains a pipeline of desirable future store locations for development. The pace of this growth is continually monitored by our management, and these plans can be altered based on operating cash flows generated and the availability of debt facilities.

Seasonality

Our business has inherent seasonality due to the concentration of our retail stores in certain geographic areas, as well as customer behaviors during different seasons.  In general, sales volumes and operating incomes are highest in the second and third quarters during the summer activity months and lowest during the winter months. In 2020 and 2021, we saw disruptions to typical seasonal patterns due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in fuel volumes sold falling below our historical average. Beginning in 2021 a more normal seasonal pattern emerged and in 2022 fuel volumes approached and sometimes exceeded pre-pandemic levels.

Business Segments

Our business is organized into one operating segment which is Marketing.  The Marketing segment includes our retail marketing stores and product supply and wholesale assets. For operating segment information, see Note 23 “Business Segments” in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. 

Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company reported net income of $672.9 million or $28.10 per diluted share on revenue of $23.4 billion.  Net income was $396.9 million for 2021 or $14.92 per diluted share on revenue of $17.4 billion. The consolidated financial results for 2022 include full year QuickChek results from January 1, 2022 to December 30, 2022 and for 2021 include QuickChek results from January 29, 2021 (date of acquisition) to December 31, 2021. The difference in timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.

A summary of the Company’s earnings by business segment follows:

	Year ended December 31,
(millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Marketing	$	740.9	$	472.8	$	442.2
Corporate and other assets	(68.0)		(75.9)		(56.1)
Net income	$	672.9	$	396.9	$	386.1

Net income for 2022 increased compared to 2021, primarily due to:

•Higher all-in fuel contribution;

•Higher retail fuel sales volumes;

•Higher merchandise contribution;

•Lower acquisition and integration related costs

34

The items below partially offset the increase in earnings in the current period:

•Higher store and other operating expenses;

•Higher depreciation and amortization expense;

•Higher selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses;

•Higher income tax expense

Financial Summary of 2022 Compared to 2021

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $6.1 billion, or 35.1%, compared to 2021.  The increase was due to higher average retail fuel prices which increased 86 cpg, or 31.0%, retail fuel volumes which increased 9.2%, merchandise sales which increased 6.1%, improved PS&W revenues including RINs, and the inclusion of QuickChek results for 12 months in 2022 compared to 11 months in 2021.

Cost of sales increased $5.5 billion, or 35.7%, compared to 2021, due to the higher average cost of fuel, which increased 42.9%, the increase of 9.2% in retail fuel volumes sold, and 5.4% higher merchandise cost of goods sold.

Store and other operating expenses increased $149.2 million, or 18.0%, in 2022 due primarily to higher payment fees (42% of the increase), higher employee related costs in part due to a non-recurring special bonus of $7.0 million, rent expense, increased store maintenance expenses and the inclusion of one additional month of QuickChek expense.  On an average per store month ("APSM") basis, store operating expenses excluding credit card fees and rent increased 10.0% in 2022 when compared to 2021. 

The Company incurred $1.5 million in integration costs for QuickChek in 2022 compared to acquisition and integration costs of $10.4 million in 2021. In 2021 these included transaction-specific costs to close the acquisition and costs related to integrating technology and systems.

Depreciation and amortization expense in 2022 increased $7.8 million due primarily to the increased number of Murphy branded stores with larger formats and an additional month of QuickChek depreciation in 2022.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for 2022 were higher by $38.9 million primarily due to a $25 million charitable pledge in Q4 2022, increased employee incentive expense, and the inclusion of an additional month of expense for QuickChek. 

Interest expense in 2022 increased by $2.9 million compared to 2021 due to an increase in interest rates on the term loan during the year.

The effective income tax expense rate in 2022 was 23.9% compared to 24.0% for 2021.

Segment Results

Marketing

Income before income taxes in the Marketing segment for 2022 increased $351.7 million, or 56.6%, from 2021 due primarily to higher all-in fuel margin, increased merchandise margins and was partially offset by higher store and other operating costs, selling, general and administrative costs, depreciation, and interest expense. QuickChek uses a weekly retail calendar where each quarter has 13 weeks. For 2022, the QuickChek results cover the period from January 1, 2022, to December 30, 2022 and for 2021 the QuickChek results cover the period from January 29, 2021 (the date of acquisition) to December 31, 2021. The difference in the timing of the period ends is immaterial to the overall consolidated results.

Financial Summary of 2022 Compared to 2021

The Marketing segment had total revenues of $23.4 billion in 2022 compared to $17.4 billion in 2021, an increase of $6.0 billion, due primarily to a higher average retail fuel sales price, increased retail fuel volumes sold, higher merchandise sales and the inclusion of QuickChek results for an additional month.  Revenue amounts included excise taxes collected and remitted to government authorities of $2.2 billion in 2022 and $2.0 billion in 2021.

Total fuel contribution for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $1.6 billion, an increase of $485.7 million, or 42.4% over 2021. This contribution improvement was due to higher retail fuel contribution, increased fuel volumes sold for the year, and an improved contribution from PS&W margin (including RINs). Retail fuel margin on a cpg basis increased 35.2% in 2022 to 29.6 cpg, compared to 21.9 cpg in the prior year. Fuel volumes increased 9.2%, primarily due to the return of pre-pandemic trends and to new customers seeking lower prices. Total fuel sales volumes on an SSS basis were 240,940 gallons per month in 2022, an increase

38

from 225,792 gallons per month in the prior year. Total product supply and wholesale margin dollars before RINs decreased in the current year due to timing and price-related impacts and lower spot-to-rack margins. Additionally, there was an increase in the contribution from sales of RINs. During 2022, other operating income included $305.8 million from the sale of 215.6 million RINs at an average selling price of $1.42 per RIN compared to $265.3 million from the sale of 202.0 million RINs at an average price of $1.31 per RIN in 2021.

Merchandise sales were up 6.1% in 2022 to $3.9 billion due to higher sales across the chain in most categories and the inclusion of QuickChek results for an additional month in 2022. Total merchandise contribution in 2022 increased $65.5 million, or 9.3%, to $767.1 million compared to 2021. Merchandise unit margins increased to 19.7% in 2022 from 19.1% in 2021. On an SSS basis, total merchandise sales were up 2.9%, due to a 3.1% increase in non-tobacco sales and an increase of 2.9% in tobacco products.  Total margins on a SSS basis for 2022 were up 5.1%, tobacco margins were higher by 5.5%, and non-tobacco margins increased 4.7%, mainly from increased beverage and snack categories.

Store and other operating expenses increased $149.4 million in 2022 compared to 2021 levels, an increase of 18.1%. This increase in total dollars was due primarily to higher payment fees, employee related expenses (due in part to a $7.0 million non-recurring special bonus), maintenance expenses, and to the inclusion of QuickChek stores for an additional month. Excluding credit card fees and rent on an APSM basis, store and other operating expenses at the retail level were 10.0% higher in 2022 compared to 2021 levels.

Depreciation and amortization increased $7.5 million in 2022, an increase of 3.8%. This increase was due primarily to more stores with larger formats operating in the 2022 period and an additional month of depreciation for QuickChek assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") increased $38.9 million in 2022 compared to 2021, primarily due to a charitable pledge of $25.0 million, higher employee incentive expense, and an additional month of QuickChek expenses.

Corporate and Other Assets

Loss from continuing operations for Corporate and other assets in 2022 was $68.0 million, compared to a loss of $75.9 million in 2021. The $7.9 million improvement from the previous year was mainly due to $8.9 million less in acquisition and integration costs, a $2.9 increase in investment income, and was partially offset by $2.0 million in higher interest expense and an increase of $2.5 million in other nonoperating expenses.

Non-GAAP Measures

The following table sets forth the Company’s EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three years ended December 31, 2022.  EBITDA means net income (loss) plus net interest expense, plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, and Adjusted EBITDA adds back (i) other non-cash items (e.g., impairment of properties and accretion of asset retirement obligations) and (ii) other items that management does not consider to be meaningful in assessing our operating performance (e.g., (income) from discontinued operations, net settlement proceeds, (gain) loss on sale of assets, loss on early debt extinguishment, transaction and integration costs related to acquisitions, and other non-operating (income) expense).  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures that are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).

We use Adjusted EBITDA in our operational and financial decision-making, believing that the measure is useful to eliminate certain items in order to focus on what we deem to be an indicator of ongoing operating performance and our ability to generate cash flow from operations.  Adjusted EBITDA is also used by many of our investors, research analysts, investment bankers, and lenders to assess our operating performance.  We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because it allows understanding of a key measure that we evaluate internally when making operating and strategic decisions, preparing our annual plan and evaluating our overall performance. However, non-GAAP measures are not a

39

substitute for GAAP disclosures, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be prepared differently by us than by other companies using similarly titled non-GAAP measures.

The reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Net income	$	672.9	$	396.9	$	386.1
Income tax expense (benefit)	210.9		125.0		123.0
Interest expense, net of interest income	82.3		82.3		50.2
Depreciation and amortization	220.4		212.6		161.0

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Significant Sources of Capital

As of December 31, 2022, we had $60.5 million of cash and cash equivalents and total marketable securities of $22.3 million.  Our cash management policy provides that cash balances in excess of a certain threshold are reinvested in certain types of low-risk investments.  We have a committed cash flow revolving credit facility (the "revolving facility") of $350 million, which was undrawn at December 31, 2022, which can be utilized for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including supporting our operating model as described herein. Additional borrowing capacity under the revolving facility may be extended at our request and with the consent of the participating lenders.

We also have a shelf registration on file with the SEC for an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities for future issuance, subject to our internal limitations on the amount of debt to be issued under this shelf registration statement.

We believe our short-term and long-term liquidity is adequate to fund not only our operations, but also our anticipated near-term and long-term funding requirements, including capital spending programs, execution of announced share repurchase programs, dividend payments, repayment of debt maturities and other amounts that may ultimately be paid in connection with contingencies.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $994.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and $737.4 million for the comparable period in 2021, an increase of $257.3 million, or 34.9%, mainly due to an increase in net income of $276.0 million in 2022, increased depreciation of $7.8 million, and increased deferred and noncurrent tax changes of $12.5 million, partially offset by a decrease in the amount of cash provided from changes in noncash working capital in 2022 of $38.0 million.  For the current year, cash provided by changes in noncash operating working capital of $44.8 million was due to an increase of $180.1 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, offset by increases of $84.7 million in accounts receivable, $26.9 million in inventories, and $23.7 million in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable were due to timing of invoicing, billing, payments, and receipts and were further affected by increased fuel and merchandise inventory prices which affected inventories and accounts payable. See also Note 17 "Other financial information" in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022.

Investing Activities

For the year ended December 31, 2022, cash required by investing activities was $319.3 million compared to cash required by investing activities of $914.2 million in 2021. The decrease in cash required by investing activities of $594.9 million compared to the previous year was primarily due to the $641.1 million cash purchase of QuickChek in 2021, an increase in cash from the sale of assets of $5.4 million and other investing activities which were lower by $1.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher capital expenditures which required cash of $305.3 million in 2022 compared to $274.7 million in 2021 primarily due to new store openings, and an investment in marketable securities of $22.2 million.

Financing Activities

Financing activities in the year ended December 31, 2022 required net cash of $871.3 million compared to net cash provided of $269.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The $1.1 billion change in financing cash required was due to a decrease in net borrowings of $683.7 million, an increase of $451.4 million in share repurchases, an increase of $13.1 million in amounts related to share-based compensation, an increase of $2.6 million in cash dividends paid, partially offset by lower debt issuance costs of $9.9 million. Borrowings of debt in 2021 were related to the QuickChek acquisition and there were no net borrowings in 2022.

Dividends

The Company paid dividends of $1.27 per common share during 2022 for total payments of $29.9 million, compared to $1.04 per common share, or $27.3 million in 2021. As part of our capital allocation strategy, the Company's intention is to deliver targeted double-digit growth in the per share dividend over time.

Share Repurchase program

On December 1, 2021, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $1 billion that we began to utilize upon the completion of our 2020 $500 million share repurchase authorization. The 2021 authorization expires December 31, 2026, unless utilized in full before such time. Purchases may be effected in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions, through one or more accelerated stock repurchase programs, through a combination of the foregoing or in any other manner in the discretion of management. Purchases will be made subject to available cash, market conditions and compliance with our financing arrangements at any time during the period of authorization. We may use cash from operations as well as draws under our credit facilities to effect purchases.

    During the year 2022, we repurchased a total of 3,328,795 common shares for $806.4 million, at an average price of $242.24 per share. Repurchases in 2022 were made pursuant to our now completed 2020 authorization and our 2021 authorization. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $213.7 million remaining under our 2021 authorization.

Debt

 Our long-term debt at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was as set forth below:

	December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021
5.625% senior notes due 2027 (net of unamortized discount of $1.6 at 2022 and $2.0 at 2021)	$	298.4	$	298.0

Senior Notes

On April 25, 2017, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. ("MOUSA"), our primary operating subsidiary, issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") under its existing shelf registration statement. The 2027 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities (as defined below). The indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company, MOUSA, and the restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments or investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge with or into other entities.

On September 13, 2019, MOUSA issued $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes were used to fund, in part, the tender offer and redemption of MOUSA's senior notes due 2023. The 2029 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Murphy USA, and are guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities. The indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 Senior Notes.

On January 29, 2021, MOUSA issued $500 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2027 Senior Notes and the 2029 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes were used, in part, to fund the acquisition of QuickChek and other obligations related to that transaction. The 2031 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities. The indenture governing the 2031 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 and 2029 Senior Notes.

     The Senior Notes and related guarantees rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness with respect to the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.  The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future third-party liabilities, including trade payables, of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement that consists of both a cash flow revolving credit facility and a senior secured term loan and that replaced the Company’s prior ABL facility and term loan.

The credit agreement provides for a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Term Facility”) (which was borrowed in full on January 29, 2021) and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $350.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The outstanding balance of the term loan was $394.0 million at December 31, 2022. The revolving facility expires January 2026 while the term loan is due January 2028 and requires quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million beginning July 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, we had none outstanding under the revolving facility while there were $4.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the amount available to borrow.

Interest payable on the Credit Facilities is based on either:

•the London interbank offered rate, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”); or

•the Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate”, (b) the greater of federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from time to time plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00% per annum,

plus, (A) in the case of Adjusted LIBO Rate borrowings, (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, spreads ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, a spread of 1.75% per annum and (B) in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, spreads ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, a spread of 1.75% per annum.

The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments starting with the first amortization payment being due on July 1, 2021 at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Murphy USA is also required to prepay the Term Facility with a portion of its excess cash flow, a portion of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales, and casualty events (subject to certain reinvestment rights) and the net cash proceeds of issuances of indebtedness not permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows Murphy USA to prepay, in whole or in part, the Term Facility outstanding thereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, with prior notice but without premium or penalty other than breakage and redeployment costs.

The credit agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, to make certain restricted payments, to enter into consolidations, mergers or sales of material assets and other fundamental changes, to transact with affiliates, to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends, or to make certain accounting changes. The credit agreement also contains total leverage ratio and secured net leverage ratio financial maintenance covenants solely for the benefit of the revolving facility which are tested quarterly. Pursuant to the total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, the Company must maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 5.5 to 1.0 and a maximum secured net leverage ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 4.25 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

43

Pursuant to the credit agreement's covenant limiting certain restricted payments, certain payments in respect of our equity interests, including dividends, when the total leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is greater than 3.0 to 1.0, could be limited. At December 31, 2022, our total leverage ratio was 1.51 to 1.0 which meant our ability at that date to make restricted payments was not limited. If our total leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, exceeds 3.0 to 1.0, any restricted payments made following that time until the ratio is once again, on a pro forma basis, below 3.0 to 1.0 would be limited by the covenant, which contains certain exceptions, including an ability to make restricted payments in cash in an aggregate amount not to exceed $100 million in any fiscal year and an additional ability to make restricted payments in an aggregate not to exceed the greater of $106.7 million, or 4.5% of consolidated net tangible assets over the life of the credit agreement.

Supplemental Guarantor Financial Information

The following is a description of the guarantees with respect to the Senior Notes and the Credit Facilities, for which MOUSA is primary obligor, and for which the Company and certain 100% owned subsidiaries provide full and unconditional guarantees on a joint and several basis. See "—Debt" above for additional information concerning the Company's outstanding indebtedness, all of which is guaranteed as described below. See also Note 10 "Long Term Debt" in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2022.

The Senior Notes and related guarantees rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness with respect to the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.  The Senior Notes and related guarantees are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future third-party liabilities, including trade payables, of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

All obligations under the Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and the same subsidiary guarantors that guarantee the Senior Notes. All obligations under the Credit Facilities, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of the Company, MOUSA, and the other guarantors.

The combined assets, liabilities and results of operations of MOUSA and the guarantors are not materially different from corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements included herein. MOUSA is our primary operating subsidiary and generated the vast majority of our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 and accounted for the vast majority of our total assets as of December 31, 2022. In the event MOUSA itself were unable to service the Company's consolidated debt obligations, our business and financial condition would be materially adversely impacted.

Capital Spending

Capital spending and investments in our Marketing segment relate primarily to the acquisition of land and the construction of new Company stores.  Our Marketing capital is also deployed to improve our existing stores, which we refer to as sustaining capital.  We use sustaining capital in this business as needed to ensure reliability and continued performance of our stores.  We also invest in our Corporate and other assets segment which is primarily technology related.

The following table outlines our capital spending and investments by category for the three years ended December 31, 2022:

 

	Years Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Marketing:
Company stores	$	245.7	$	221.2	$	175.9
Terminals	—		2.5		2.0
Sustaining capital	33.4		21.8		22.9
Corporate and other assets	26.7		32.0		26.3
Total	$	305.8	$	277.5	$	227.1

We currently expect capital expenditures for the full year 2023 to range from approximately $375 million to $425 million, including $285 million to $315 million for retail growth, approximately $50 million to $60 million for maintenance capital, with the remaining funds earmarked for other corporate investments and other strategic initiatives. See Note 19 “Commitments” in the audited consolidated financial statements for the three years ended December 31, 2022 included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies

Goodwill and intangible assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators

45

of impairment. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives and are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the asset group to which the intangible assets belong might be impaired. The Company revises the estimated remaining useful life of these assets when events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision. If the Company revises the useful life, the unamortized balance is amortized over the use life on a prospective basis. Indefinite-lived intangibles are tested annually for impairment, or more often if indicators warrant.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Individual retail stores are reviewed for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Our primary indicator that operating store assets may not be recoverable is consistent negative cash flow over a twenty-four month period for those retail stores that have been open in the same location for a sufficient period to allow for meaningful analysis of ongoing results. We also monitor other factors when evaluating retail stores for impairment, including individual store execution of operating plans and local market conditions.

When an evaluation is required, the projected future undiscounted cash flows to be generated from each retail store over its remaining economic life are compared to the carrying value of the long-lived assets of that store to determine if a write-down of the carrying value to fair value is required. When determining future cash flows associated with an individual retail store, we make assumptions about key variables such as sales volume, gross margins and expenses. Cash flows vary for each retail store year to year. Changes in market demographics, traffic patterns, competition and other factors impact the overall operations of certain of our individual retail store locations. Similar changes may occur in the future that will require us to record impairment charges. We have not made any material change in the methodology used to estimate future cash flows of retail store locations during the past three years.

Our impairment evaluations are based on assumptions we deem to be reasonable. If the actual results of our retail stores are not consistent with the estimates and judgments we have made in estimating future cash flows and determining fair values, our actual impairment losses could vary positively or negatively from our estimated impairment losses. Providing sensitivity analysis if other assumptions were used in performing the impairment evaluations is not practical due to the significant number of assumptions involved in the estimates.

Tax Matters

We are subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions, including income taxes, indirect taxes (excise/duty, sales/use, and gross receipts taxes), payroll taxes, franchise taxes, withholding taxes and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities that cannot be predicted at this time. In addition, we have received claims from various jurisdictions related to certain tax matters. Tax liabilities include potential assessments of penalty and interest amounts.

We record tax liabilities based on our assessment of existing tax laws and regulations. A contingent loss related to a transactional tax claim is recorded if the loss is both probable and estimable. The recording of our tax liabilities requires significant judgments and estimates. Actual tax liabilities can vary from our estimates for a variety of reasons, including different interpretations of tax laws and regulations and different assessments of the amount of tax due. In addition, in determining our income tax provision, we must assess the likelihood that our deferred tax assets will be recovered through future taxable income. Significant judgment is required in estimating the amount of valuation allowance, if any, that should be recorded against those deferred income tax assets. If our actual results of operations differ from such estimates or our estimates of future taxable income change, the valuation allowance may need to be revised. However, an estimate of the sensitivity to earnings that would result from changes in the assumptions and estimates used in determining our tax liabilities is not practicable due to the number of assumptions and tax laws involved, the various potential interpretations of the tax laws, and the wide range of possible outcomes. The Company is occasionally challenged by taxing authorities over the amount and/or timing of recognition of revenues and deductions in its various income tax returns.  Although the Company believes it has adequate accruals for matters not resolved with various taxing authorities, gains or losses could occur in future years from changes in estimates or resolution of outstanding

46

matters.  See Note 12 “Income Taxes” in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022 for a further discussion of our tax liabilities.

Asset Retirement Obligations

We operate above ground and underground storage tanks at our facilities. We recognize the estimated future cost to remove these underground storage tanks (“USTs”) over their estimated useful lives. We record a discounted liability for the fair value of an asset retirement obligation with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related long-lived asset at the time a UST is installed. We depreciate the amount added to cost of the property and recognize accretion expense in connection with the discounted liability over the remaining life of the UST.

We have not made any material changes in the methodology used to estimate future costs for removal of a UST during the past three years. We base our estimates of such future costs on our prior experience with removal and normal and customary costs we expect to incur associated with UST removal. We compare our cost estimates with our actual removal cost experience, if any, on an annual basis, and if the actual costs we experience exceed our original estimates, we will recognize an additional liability for estimated future costs to remove the USTs. Because these estimates are subjective and are currently based on historical costs with adjustments for estimated future changes in the associated costs, the dollar amount of these obligations could change as more information is obtained. There were no material changes in our asset retirement obligation estimates during 2022, 2021, or 2020. See also Note 11 “Asset Retirement Obligation” in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022.

Business combinations

We account for business combinations using the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred. The purchase price is allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed at date of acquisition, with any excess recorded as goodwill. These fair value determinations require management to make estimates which are based on all available information, and may involve the use of assumptions with respect to the timing and amount of future revenues and expenses, the weighted average cost of capital, and royalty rates associated with the transaction and the assets or liabilities acquired. This judgment and determination affects the amount of consideration paid that is allocable to assets and liabilities acquired in the business purchase transaction. The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a measurement period of up to one year to provide reasonable time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any such measurement period adjustments are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed as incurred.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain statements or may suggest “forward-looking” information (as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) that involve risk and uncertainties, including, but not limited to our M&A activity, anticipated store openings, fuel margins, merchandise margins, sales of RINs, trends in our operations, dividends, and share repurchases. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. Actual future results may differ materially from historical results or current expectations depending upon factors including, but not limited to: the Company's ability to realize projected synergies from the acquisition of QuickChek and successfully expand our food and beverage offerings; our ability to continue to maintain a good business relationship with Walmart; successful execution of our growth strategy, including our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from such growth initiatives, and the timely completion of construction associated with our newly planned stores which may be impacted by the financial health of third parties; our ability to effectively manage our inventory, manage disruptions in our supply chain and our ability to control costs; geopolitical events, such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine, that impact the supply and demand and prices of crude oil; the impact of severe weather events, such as hurricanes, floods and earthquakes; the impact of a global health pandemic, and the government reaction in response thereof; the

impact of any systems failures, cybersecurity and/or security breaches of the company or its vendor partners, including any security breach that results in theft, transfer or unauthorized disclosure of customer, employee or company information or our compliance with information security and privacy laws and regulations in the event of such an incident; successful execution of our information technology strategy; reduced demand for our products due to the implementation of more stringent fuel economy and greenhouse gas reduction requirements, or increasingly widespread adoption of electric vehicle technology; future tobacco or e-cigarette legislation and any other efforts that make purchasing tobacco products more costly or difficult could hurt our revenues and impact gross margins; efficient and proper allocation of our capital resources, including the timing, declaration, amount and payment of any future dividends or levels of the company's share repurchases, or management of operating cash; the market price of the Company's stock prevailing from time to time, the nature of other investment opportunities presented to the Company from time to time, the Company's cash flows from operations, and general economic conditions; compliance with debt covenants; availability and cost of credit; and changes in interest rates. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect subsequent events, new information or future circumstances.

Item 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of crude oil and refined products (primarily gasoline and diesel) used in our operations. These fluctuations can affect our revenues and purchases, as well as the cost of operating, investing, and financing activities.  We make limited use of derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by our middle-office function and the Company’s senior management.

As described in Note 15 “Financial Instruments and Risk Management” in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, there were short-term commodity derivative contracts in place at December 31, 2022 to hedge the purchase price of refined products. A 10% increase or decrease in the respective benchmark price of the commodities underlying these derivative contracts would have been immaterial to the Company. Changes in the fair value of these derivative contracts generally offset the changes in the value for an equivalent volume of these products.

Interest Rate Risk

    We have exposure to interest rate risks related to volatility of our floating rate term loan with a balance as of December 31, 2022 of $394 million and to our cash flow revolver facility which currently is undrawn. Both of these loans are tied to LIBOR interest rates which can move in either direction and cause fluctuations in our interest expense recognized in any period and in our cash flows related to interest payments made. We make limited use of interest rate swaps to hedge a portion of our exposure to these rate movements. The acquisition of any interest rate derivatives is undertaken by senior management when appropriate with delegated authority from the appropriate Board level committee.

    As described in Note 15 “Financial Instruments and Risk Management” in the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, we currently have an interest rate swap that hedges exposure to one-month LIBOR for $67.5 million of our outstanding term loan amount at December 31, 2022. A 10% increase or decrease in the underlying interest rate would have an immaterial impact on the financial statements of the Company at December 31, 2022.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

Our management has evaluated, with the participation of our principal executive and financial officers, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of the end of the period covered by this report, and has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective and appropriately allowed for timely decisions regarding required disclosures as of December 31, 2022.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The SEC, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, adopted rules that generally require every company that files reports with the SEC to evaluate its effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting.

Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.  Based on the results of this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.  Management’s report is included on page F-1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has made an independent assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022 and their report is included on page F-4 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2022 that have affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT- CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The management of Murphy USA Inc. is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the accompanying consolidated financial statements and other financial data.  The statements were prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles appropriate in the circumstances and include some amounts based on informed estimates and judgments, with consideration given to materiality. 

An independent, registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has audited the Company’s consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board and provides an objective, independent opinion about the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors appoints the independent registered public accounting firm; ratification of the appointment is solicited annually from the shareholders.  KPMG LLP’s opinion covering the Company’s consolidated financial statements can be found on page F-2.

The Board of Directors appoints an Audit Committee annually to implement and to support the Board’s oversight function of the Company’s financial reporting, accounting policies, internal controls and independent registered public accounting firm.  This Committee is composed solely of directors who are not employees of the Company.  The Committee meets routinely with representatives of management, the Company’s internal audit team and the independent registered public accounting firm to review and discuss the adequacy and effectiveness of the Company’s internal controls, the quality and clarity of its financial reporting, the scope and results of independent and internal audits, and to fulfill other responsibilities included in the Committee’s Charter.  The independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s internal audit team have unrestricted access to the Committee, without management presence, to discuss audit findings and other financial matters. 

 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT – INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). The Company’s internal controls have been designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All internal control systems have inherent limitations, and therefore, can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of consolidated financial statements.

Management has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 2013. Based on the results of this evaluation, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2022.

KPMG LLP has performed an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and their opinion thereon can be found on page F-4.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Murphy USA Inc.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Murphy USA Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of cash flows, and statements of changes in equity for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 15, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Assessment of impairment triggering events related to property, plant and equipment

As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company assesses its property, plant and equipment for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The property, plant and equipment balance, at cost less accumulated depreciation, as of December 31, 2022 was $2,459.3 million. Some retail sites may generate negative cash flow or experience events that indicate carrying values might not be recovered, indicating a higher risk that these retail sites might be impaired. This requires the

F-2

Company to consider profitability and retail site specific factors when evaluating its retail sites for impairment in order to determine whether or not an impairment triggering event has occurred.

We identified the assessment of impairment triggering events related to property, plant and equipment as a critical audit matter. The determination of the asset group level, the evaluation of retail site profitability, and the assessment of retail site specific factors involved challenging auditor judgment, as changes to those factors could have a significant impact on the Company’s assessment of an impairment triggering event.

The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Company’s triggering events assessment process over property, plant and equipment, including controls related to the identification of impairment triggers. We evaluated the asset group level at which the Company’s analysis was performed. We assessed the Company’s methodology of identifying retail site specific factors to be considered in the triggering events analysis, including length of the time period used by the Company to evaluate retail site profitability to identify triggering events. We also compared the historical cash flows by asset group to the general ledger information to assess the reliability of the information used.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors

Murphy USA Inc.:

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited Murphy USA Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated income statements, statements of comprehensive income, statements of cash flows, and statements of changes in equity for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial statement schedule II (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 15, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Report of Management – Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

F-4

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The business of Murphy USA Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Murphy USA”, "we", or the “Company”) primarily consists of the U.S. retail marketing business that was separated from its former parent company, Murphy Oil Corporation (“Murphy Oil”), plus other assets, liabilities and operating expenses of Murphy Oil that were associated with supporting the activities of the U.S. retail marketing operations.  Murphy USA was incorporated in March 2013. The separation was approved by the Murphy Oil board of directors on August 7, 2013, and was completed on August 30, 2013 through the distribution of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Murphy USA to holders of Murphy Oil common stock on the record date of August 21, 2013. Following the separation, Murphy USA is an independent, publicly traded company, and Murphy Oil retains no ownership interest in Murphy USA. On January 29, 2021, MUSA acquired 100% of Quick Chek Corporation ("QuickChek"), a privately held convenience store chain with a strong regional brand that consisted of 156 stores at the time of acquisition, located in New Jersey and New York, in an all-cash transaction. For additional information concerning the acquisition, see Note 6, "Business Acquisition".

Murphy USA markets refined products through a network of retail gasoline stores and unbranded wholesale customers and in addition, we operate non-fuel convenience stores in select markets. The Company owns and operates a chain of retail stores under the brand name of Murphy USA® which are almost all located in close proximity to Walmart stores, markets gasoline and other products at standalone stores under the Murphy Express brand, and also has a mix of convenience stores and convenience stores with retail gasoline that operate under the name of QuickChek®. At December 31, 2022, Murphy USA had a total of 1,712 Company stores in 27 states, of which 1,151 were Murphy USA, 404 were Murphy Express and 157 were QuickChek. The Company also has certain product supply and wholesale assets, including product distribution terminals and pipeline positions.

Note 2 – Significant Accounting Policies

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Murphy USA Inc. and its subsidiaries for all periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our petroleum products, convenience merchandise, Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") and other assets to our third-party customers. Revenue is measured as the amounts of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Excise and sales tax that we collect where we have determined we are the principal in the transaction have been recorded as revenue on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.

The Company enters into buy/sell and similar arrangements when petroleum products are held at one location but are needed at a different location. The Company often pays or receives funds related to the buy/sell arrangement based on location or quality differences. The Company accounts for such transactions as non-monetary exchanges under existing accounting guidance and typically reports these on a net basis in its Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 3 "Revenues" for additional information.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS – Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of motor fuel are included in Petroleum product cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements. Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of convenience store merchandise are included in Merchandise cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements.

TAXES COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS AND REMITTED TO GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES – Excise and other taxes collected on sales of refined products and remitted to governmental agencies are included in operating revenues and operating expenses in the Consolidated Income Statements. Excise taxes on

F-11

Murphy USA Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

petroleum products collected and remitted were $2.2 billion in 2022, $2.0 billion in 2021, and $1.8 billion in 2020.

CASH EQUIVALENTS – Short-term investments, which include government securities, money market funds and other instruments with government securities as collateral, that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES – The Company considers highly liquid treasury notes, corporate debt securities, and other funds with original maturities of more than three months to be marketable securities. Securities with less than one year to maturity are included in short-term marketable securities, and all other securities are classified as long-term marketable securities. Marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale when the Company does not have the intent to hold securities to maturity to allow flexibility in response to liquidity needs and are carried at fair value. The Company records securities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 5 "Marketable Securities" and Note 18 "Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value" for additional information on our policy and the fair value measurement of the Company's marketable securities.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts owed to the Company from credit card companies and by customers for wholesale sales of refined petroleum products. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on these receivables. The Company reviews this allowance for adequacy at least quarterly and bases its assessment on a combination of current information about its customers and historical write-off experience. Any trade accounts receivable balances written off are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not experienced any significant credit-related losses in the past three years.

INVENTORIES – Inventories of petroleum products located at Murphy branded stores are valued at the lower of cost, generally applied on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis, or market, while petroleum products located at QuickChek branded stores are valued at weighted average cost. Any increments to LIFO inventory volumes are valued based on the first purchase price for these volumes during the year. Merchandise inventories held for resale at Murphy branded stores are carried at average cost. Certain merchandise inventories at QuickChek stores are on a LIFO basis while all other items are valued on average cost. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

VENDOR ALLOWANCES AND REBATES – Murphy USA receives payments for vendor allowances, volume rebates and other related payments from various suppliers of its convenience store merchandise. Vendor allowances for price markdowns are credited to merchandise cost of goods sold during the period the related markdown is recognized. Volume rebates of merchandise are recorded as reductions to merchandise cost of goods sold when the merchandise qualifying for the rebate is sold. Slotting and stocking allowances received from a vendor are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales over the period covered by the agreement.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS – The Company accounts for business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred. The purchase price is allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess recorded as goodwill. These fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a measurement period of up to one year to provide reasonable time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any such measurement period adjustments are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed as incurred.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – Additions to property, plant and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are capitalized and recorded at cost. Certain marketing facilities are primarily depreciated using the composite straight-line method with depreciable lives ranging from 16 to 25 years. Gasoline stores,

F-12

Murphy USA Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

improvements to gasoline stores and other assets are depreciated over 3 to 50 years by individual unit on the straight-line method. The Company capitalizes interest costs as a component of construction in progress on individually significant projects based on the weighted average interest rates incurred on its long-term borrowings. Total interest cost capitalized was $1.1 million in 2022, $2.1 million in 2021 and $1.4 million in 2020.

The Company has undertaken like-kind exchange ("LKE") transactions under the Federal tax code in an effort to acquire and sell real property in a tax efficient manner. The Company generally enters into forward transactions, in which property is sold and the proceeds are reinvested by acquiring similar property; and reverse transactions, in which property is acquired and similar property is subsequently sold. A qualified LKE intermediary is used to facilitate these LKE transactions. Proceeds from forward LKE transactions are held by the intermediary and are classified as restricted cash on the Company's balance sheet because the funds must be reinvested in similar properties. If the acquisition of suitable LKE properties is not completed within 180 days of the sale of the Company-owned property, the proceeds are distributed to the Company by the intermediary and are reclassified as available cash and applicable income taxes are determined. An exchange accommodation titleholder, a type of variable interest entity, is used to facilitate reverse like-kind exchanges. The acquired assets are held by the exchange accommodation titleholder until the exchange transactions are complete. If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of the exchange accommodation titleholder, the replacements assets held by the exchange accommodation titleholder are consolidated and recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unspent proceeds that are held in trust with the intermediary are recorded as noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the cash was restricted for the acquisition of similar properties. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no open LKE transactions with an intermediary.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS – Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, and are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the asset group to which the intangible assets belong might be impaired. The Company revises the estimated remaining useful life of these assets when events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision. If the Company revises the useful life, the unamortized balance is amortized over the useful life on a prospective basis.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS – Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS – The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The ARO liability is initially recorded in the period in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed in service. The ARO liability is estimated using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the original liability. The liability is increased over time to reflect the change in its present value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related long-lived asset. The Company reevaluates the adequacy of its recorded ARO liability at least annually. Actual costs of asset retirements such as dismantling service stores and site restoration are charged against the related liability. Any difference between costs incurred upon settlement of an asset retirement obligation and the recorded liability is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES – A liability for environmental matters is established when it is probable that an environmental obligation exists and the cost can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of reasonably estimated costs, the most likely amount will be recorded, or if no amount is most likely, the minimum of the

F-13

Murphy USA Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

range is used. Related expenditures are charged against the liability. Environmental remediation liabilities have not been discounted for the time value of future expected payments. Environmental expenditures that have future economic benefit are capitalized.

INCOME TAXES – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates that are assumed will be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company routinely assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets based on available positive and negative evidence including assumptions of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and other pertinent factors.  A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period.  The accounting principles for income tax uncertainties permit recognition of income tax benefits only when they are more likely than not to be realized.  

The Company has elected to classify any interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in Income tax expense in the Consolidated Income Statements.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – The fair value of a derivative instrument is recognized as an asset or liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and therefore, recognize changes in the fair value of the contract in earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception and on an ongoing basis whether a derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge is recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the consolidated Balance Sheets until the hedged item is recognized currently in earnings. If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized immediately in earnings. If a hedge is de-designated, hedge accounting will no longer apply and from that time the gain and losses will be recognized in earnings and any accumulated amounts in other comprehensive income will be amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the underlying instrument. See Note 15 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" and Note 18 "Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value" for further information about the Company’s derivatives.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – The fair value of awarded stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock units is determined based on a combination of management assumptions for awards issued. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for computing the fair value of stock options. The primary assumptions made by management included the expected life of the stock option award and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock prices. The Company uses both historical data and current information to support its assumptions. Stock option expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of three years. The Company uses a Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of performance-based stock units that are based on performance compared against a peer group and the related expense is recognized over the three-year requisite service period. Management estimates the number of all awards that will not vest and adjusts its compensation expense accordingly. Differences between estimated and actual vested amounts are accounted for as an adjustment to expense when known. See Note 13 "Incentive Plans" for a discussion of the basis of allocation of such costs.

USE OF ESTIMATES – In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from

the estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Marketing segment

Petroleum product sales (at retail). For our retail store locations, the revenue related to petroleum product sales is recognized as the fuel is pumped to our customers. The transaction price at the pump typically includes some portion of sales or excise taxes as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. Our customers typically use a mixture of cash, checks, credit cards and debit cards to pay for our products as they are received. We have accounts receivable from the various credit/debit card providers at any point in time related to product sales made on credit cards and debit cards. These receivables are typically collected in two to seven days, depending on the terms with the particular credit/debit card providers. Payment fees retained by the credit/debit card providers are recorded as store and other operating expenses.

Petroleum product sales (at wholesale). Our sales of petroleum products at wholesale are generally recorded as revenue when the deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Title transfer for bulk refined product sales typically occurs at pipeline custody points and upon trucks loading at product terminals. For bulk pipeline sales, we record receivables from customers that are generally collected within a week from custody transfer date. For our rack product sales, the majority of our customers' accounts are drafted by us within 10 days from product transfer.

Merchandise sales. For our retail store locations, the revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized as the customer completes their purchase at our locations. The transaction price typically includes some portion of sales tax as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. As noted above, a mixture of payment types are used for these revenues and the same terms for credit/debit card receivables are realized.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The most significant judgment with respect to merchandise sales revenue is determining whether we are the principal or agent for some categories of merchandise such as lottery tickets, lotto tickets, newspapers and other small categories of merchandise. For scratch-off lottery tickets, we have determined we are the principal in the majority of the jurisdictions and therefore we record those sales on a gross basis. We have some categories of merchandise (such as lotto tickets) where we are the agent and the revenues recorded for those transactions are our net commission only.

The Company offers loyalty programs through its Murphy USA, Murphy Express, and QuickChek branded retail locations. The customers earn rewards based on their spending or other promotional activities. These programs create a performance obligation which requires us to defer a portion of sales revenue to the loyalty program participants until they redeem their rewards. The rewards may be redeemed for free or discounted merchandise or cash discounts at all stores and on fuel purchases at Murphy USA and Murphy Express stores. Earned rewards expire after an account is inactive for a period of 90 days at Murphy USA and Murphy Express, while certain QuickChek rewards require use within the month. We recognize loyalty revenue when a customer redeems an earned reward. Deferred revenue associated with both rewards programs are included in Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

RINs sales. For the sale of RINs, we recognize revenue when the RIN is transferred to the counter-party and the sale is completed. Receivables from our counter-parties related to the RIN sales are typically collected within five days of the sale.

Other revenues. Items reported as other operating revenues include collection allowances for excise and sales tax and other miscellaneous items and are recognized as revenue when the transaction is completed.

Accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable on the balance sheet represents both receivables related to contracts with customers and other trade receivables. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $164.1 million and $111.8 million of receivables, respectively, related to contracts with customers recorded. All of the trade accounts receivable related to contracts with customers outstanding at the end of each period were collected during the succeeding quarter. These receivables were generally related to credit and debit card transactions along with short term bulk and wholesale sales from our customers, which have a very short settlement window.

Note 5 — Marketable Securities

The Company invests a portion of its excess operational cash in marketable securities. The goal of the Company's investment policy, in order of priority, are as follows: (1) preservation of principal, (2) maintaining a high degree of liquidity to meet cash flow requirements, and (3) deliver competitive returns subject to prevailing market conditions and the Company's stated objectives related to safety and liquidity. Nothing in the policy is intended to indicate that management must invest excess operational cash; it merely allows it subject to specific limitations.

Securities are generally required to have a final maturity of 24 months or less with a weighted average maturity for the portfolio of no longer than 12 months and must have an active secondary market. Investments may include U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bond, U.S. Agency securities, repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, institutional, government money market funds that maintain a stable $1.00 net asset value, domestic and foreign commercial paper, municipal securities, domestic and foreign debt issued by corporations or financial institutions with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss.

Note 6 — Business Acquisition

On January 29, 2021, MUSA acquired 100% of QuickChek, a privately-held convenience store chain with a regional brand which consisted of 156 stores located in New Jersey and New York, in an all-cash transaction. The acquisition was made to expand the MUSA network into the Northeast by adding stores that had an existing food and beverage model and is consistent with the Company's stated strategic priorities of developing enhanced food and beverage capabilities and accelerating its growth plans.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net, identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are a mixture of direct and reverse synergies that are expected to be realized as a result of this acquisition. The direct synergies include additional margin capture on the retail fuel side from the tactical pricing decisions and improved benefits from increased scale on the product acquisition side combined with other cost savings in both merchandise and store operations. The reverse synergies reflect management's ability to leverage QuickChek's product pricing and operational capabilities related to food and beverage sales to Murphy branded stores. All fair values were final as of December 31, 2021.

The Company has determined that the trade name has an indefinite life, as there is no economic, contractual, or other factors that limit its useful life and expects to generate value as long as the trade name is utilized, and therefore is not subject to amortization. The fair value of intangible assets was based on widely-accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred at the date of the acquisition, as well as the calculation of goodwill based on the excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired:

(Millions of dollars)	January 29, 2021

Senior Notes

On April 25, 2017, Murphy Oil USA, Inc., our primary operating subsidiary, issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") under its existing shelf registration statement. The 2027 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Murphy USA, and are guaranteed by certain 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantee our credit facilities. The indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Murphy USA, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and the restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments or investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge with or into other entities.

On September 13, 2019, Murphy Oil USA, Inc., issued $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes were used to fund, in part, the tender offer and redemption of the prior notes issuance. The 2029 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Murphy USA, and are guaranteed by certain 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantee our credit

facilities. The indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 Senior Notes.

On January 29, 2021, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. issued $500 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2027 Senior Notes and the 2029 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes were used, in part, to fund the acquisition of QuickChek and other obligations related to that transaction. The 2031 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities. The indenture governing the 2031 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 and 2029 Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes and related guarantees rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness with respect to the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.  The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future third-party liabilities, including trade payables, of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement that consists of both a cash flow revolving credit facility and a senior secured term loan and that replaced the Company’s prior ABL facility and term loan.

The credit agreement provides for a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Term Facility”) (which was borrowed in full on January 29, 2021) and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $350.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The outstanding balance of the term loan was $394.0 million at December 31, 2022. The revolving facility expires January 2026 while the term loan is due January 2028 and requires quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million beginning July 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, we had none outstanding under the revolving facility, while there were $4.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the amount available to borrow.

Interest payable on the Credit Facilities is based on either:

•the London interbank offered rate, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”); or

•the Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate”, (b) the greater of federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from time to time plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00% per annum,

plus, (A) in the case of Adjusted LIBO Rate borrowings, (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, spreads ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, a spread of 1.75% per annum and (B) in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, spreads ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, a spread of 1.75% per annum.

The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments starting with the first amortization payment being due on July 1, 2021 at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Murphy USA is also required to prepay the Term Facility with a portion of its excess cash flow, a portion of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and casualty events (subject to certain reinvestment rights) and the net cash proceeds of issuances of indebtedness not permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows Murphy USA to prepay, in whole or in part, the Term Facility outstanding thereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, with prior notice but without premium or penalty other than breakage and redeployment costs.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The credit agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, to make certain restricted payments, to enter into consolidations, mergers or sales of material assets and other fundamental changes, to transact with affiliates, to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends, or to make certain accounting changes. The credit agreement also contains total leverage ratio and secured net leverage ratio financial maintenance covenants solely for the benefit of the revolving facility which are tested quarterly. Pursuant to the total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, the Company must maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 5.5 to 1.0 and a maximum secured net leverage ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 4.25 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Pursuant to the credit agreement's covenant limiting certain restricted payments, certain payments in respect of our equity interests, including dividends, when the total leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is greater than 3.0 to 1.0, could be limited. At December 31, 2022, our total leverage ratio was 1.5 to 1.0 which meant our ability at that date to make restricted payments was not limited. If our total leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, exceeds 3.0 to 1.0, any restricted payments made following that time until the ratio is once again, on a pro forma basis, below 3.0 to 1.0 would be limited by the covenant, which contains certain exceptions, including an ability to make restricted payments in an aggregate not to exceed the greater of $106.7 million or 4.5% of consolidated net tangible assets over the life of the credit agreement.

All obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by Murphy USA and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and all obligations under the credit agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of Murphy USA, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and the guarantors party thereto.

Note 11 — Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)

The majority of the ARO recognized by the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021 is related to the estimated costs to dismantle and abandon certain of its retail gasoline stores. The Company has not recorded an ARO for certain of its marketing assets because sufficient information is presently not available to estimate a range of potential settlement dates for the obligation. These assets are consistently being upgraded and are expected to be operational into the foreseeable future. In these cases, the obligation will be initially recognized in the period in which sufficient information exists to estimate the obligation.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the ARO is shown in the following table:

	December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021
Balance at beginning of period	$	39.2	$	35.1

Accretion expense	2.7		2.5
Settlement of liabilities	(2.3)		(1.0)
Liabilities incurred	3.7		1.4
Balance at end of period	$	43.3	$	39.2

The estimation of future ARO is based on a number of assumptions requiring professional judgment. The Company cannot predict the type of revisions to these assumptions that may be required in future periods due to the lack of availability of additional information.

Total gross deferred tax liabilities	(455.2)		(417.5)
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(327.4)	$	(295.9)

In management’s judgment, the deferred tax assets in the preceding table will more likely than not be realized as reductions of future taxable income or utilized by available tax planning strategies.

As of December 31, 2022, the earliest year remaining open for Federal audits and/or settlement is 2019 and for state audits and/or settlement is 2018. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future periods from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters.

Murphy USA Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The FASB’s rules for accounting for income tax uncertainties clarify the criteria for recognizing uncertain income tax benefits and require additional disclosures about uncertain tax positions.  Under U.S. GAAP the financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain income tax positions are included in Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the consolidated liability for unrecognized income tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is shown in the following table:

	Year Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021
Balance at January 1	$	0.5	$	0.4
Additions for tax positions related to prior years	0.2		0.3
Expiration of statutes of limitation	(0.1)		(0.2)
Balance at December 31	$	0.6	$	0.5

All additions or reductions to the above liability affect the Company’s effective tax rate in the respective period of change.  The Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.  Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 included immaterial amounts of interest and penalties, associated with uncertain tax positions. Of these amounts shown in the table, $0.5 million and $0.4 million represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the next twelve months, the Company does not expect a material change to the liability for uncertain taxes. Although existing liabilities could be reduced by settlement with taxing authorities or lapse due to statute of limitations, the Company believes that the changes in its unrecognized tax benefits due to these events will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Income Statement during 2023. 

Total excess tax benefits for equity compensation recognized in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $2.9 million, $4.9 million, and $2.2 million, respectively.

Effective August 30, 2013, certain of our employees began to participate in the Murphy USA 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated effective as of February 8, 2017 (the “MUSA 2013 Plan”). The MUSA 2013 Plan authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“the Committee”) to grant non-qualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards), dividend equivalent units, cash awards, and performance awards to our employees. No more than 5.5 million shares of common stock may be delivered under the MUSA 2013 Plan and no more than 1 million shares of common stock may be awarded to any one employee, subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization. The maximum cash amount payable pursuant to any “performance-based” award to any participant in any calendar year is $5.0 million.

During the period from August 30, 2013 to December 31, 2022, the Company granted a total of 2,805,086 awards from the MUSA 2013 Plan which leaves 2,694,914 remaining shares to be granted in future years (after consideration of the amendments made to the MUSA 2013 Plan in February 2014 by the Board of Directors).  At present, the Company expects to issue all shares that vest out of existing treasury shares rather than issuing new common shares.

2013 Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors

Effective August 8, 2013, Murphy USA adopted the 2013 Murphy USA Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors (the “Directors Plan”).  The directors for Murphy USA are compensated with a mixture of cash payments and equity-based awards.  Awards under the Directors Plan may be in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent units, stock options, or a combination thereof.  An aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock shall be available for issuance of grants under the Directors Plan.  Since 2013, 150,673 time-based restricted stock units have been granted under the terms of the Directors Plan which leaves 349,327 shares available to be granted in the future. 

Amounts recognized in the financial statements by the Company with respect to all share-based plans are shown in the following table:

 

	Years Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Compensation charged against income before income tax benefit	$	16.0	$	14.4	$	14.3
Related income tax benefit recognized in income	$	3.4	$	3.0	$	3.0

As of December 31, 2022, there was $24.0 million in compensation costs to be expensed over approximately the next 1.8 years related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted by the Company.  Employees who have stock options are required to net settle their options in shares, after applicable statutory withholding taxes are considered, upon each stock option exercise. Therefore, no cash is received upon exercise. Total income tax benefits realized from tax deductions related to stock option exercises under share-based payment arrangements were $1.0 million, $0.3 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.  

The Company issues dividend equivalent units ("DEU") on all outstanding, unvested equity awards (except stock options) in an amount commensurate with regular quarterly dividends paid on common stock. The terms of the DEU mirror the underlying awards and will only vest if the related award vests. DEU's issued are included with grants in each respective table as applicable.

STOCK OPTIONS (MUSA 2013 Plan) – The Committee fixes the option price of each option granted at no less than fair market value (FMV) on the date of the grant and fixes the option term at no more than 7 years from such date.

Most of the nonqualified stock options granted to certain employees by the Committee were granted in February 2022.  

Following are the assumptions used by the Company to value the original awards:

Note 14 — Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans

THRIFT PLAN – Most full-time employees of the Company may participate in defined contribution savings plans by contributing up to a specified percentage of their base pay.  The Company matches contributions for Murphy USA eligible employees at 100% of each employee’s contribution with a maximum match of 6%.  In addition, the Company makes profit sharing contributions on an annual basis for Murphy USA employees.  Eligible employees receive a stated percentage of their base and incentive pay of 5%, 7%, or 9% determined on a formula that is based on a combination of age and years of service.  The Company maintained the thrift plan of QuickChek on acquisition, and matches 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% contributed by eligible employees. The Company’s combined expenses related to these plans were $17.3 million in 2022, $16.9 million in 2021 and $15.3 million in 2020.

PROFIT SHARING PLAN – Eligible part-time employees of Murphy USA may participate in the Company’s noncontributory profit sharing plan.  Each year, the Company may make a discretionary employer contribution in an amount determined and authorized at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Eligible employees receive an allocation based on their compensation earned for the year the contribution is allocated.  The Company’s expenses related to this plan were $1.6 million in 2022, $1.1 million in 2021 and $1.8 million in 2020. 

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT – The Company provides a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ('SERP'), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for Murphy USA employees, to eligible executives and certain members of management. The SERP plan is intended to restore qualified defined contribution plan benefits restricted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to certain highly-compensated individuals. The liability balances, net of associated assets, were $5.5 million and $4.7 million, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectfully.

Note 15 — Financial Instruments and Risk Management

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS — The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded primarily with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Certain interest rate derivative contracts were accounted for as hedges and gain or loss associated with recording the fair value of these contracts was deferred in AOCI until the anticipated transactions occur. As of December 31, 2022, all current commodity derivative activity is immaterial.

Cash deposits were none at December 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021 the cash deposit was $0.6 million related to commodity derivative contracts and were reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These cash deposits have not been used to reduce the reported net liabilities on the derivative contracts at December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

Interest Rate Risks

Under hedge accounting rules, the Company deferred the net charge or benefit associated with the interest rate swap entered into to manage the variability in interest payments for the variable-rate debt in association with $150.0 million of our outstanding term loan dated August 27, 2019 until the debt was repaid on January 29, 2021. At that time the hedge was de-designated and therefore hedge accounting is no longer applicable and mark-to-market gains and losses are recognized in the period in which the change occurs in the Consolidated Statement of income in interest expense. The current loan balance subject to the hedge is $67.5 million. The Company is reclassifying the accumulated other comprehensive loss on the previous interest rate swap, $2.4 million as of the de-designation date, into interest expense using a straight-line approach over the remaining life of the originally designated hedging relationship. The amount of pre-tax gains in accumulated other comprehensive loss that was reclassified into interest expense was $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, leaving a balance of $0.6 million at December 31, 2022. Prior to the de-designation, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps were recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss.

Note 16 – Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share adjusts basic earnings per common share for the effects of stock options and restricted stock in the periods where such items are dilutive. 

On December 1, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $1 billion to begin upon completion of the $500 million authorization made in October 2020, and is to be executed by December 31, 2026. During the year 2022, the total number of share repurchases were 3,328,795 common shares for $806.4 million, at an average price of $242.24 per share. The 2022 shares repurchased included 3,226,379 common shares for $786.3 million, at an average price of $243.72 per share under the 2021 $1 billion authorization, leaving approximately $213.7 million remaining available, as of December 31, 2022, and included 102,416 common shares repurchased for $20.0 million, at an average price of $195.45 per share which completed the October 2020 $500 million authorization.

Purchases in 2021 and 2020 under the October 2020 authorization were 2,398,477 common shares for $355.0 million, at an average price of $148.00 per share and 969,654 common shares for $125.0 million, at an average price of $128.91 per share, respectively.

Note 18 — Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The Company's available-for-sale marketable securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. We value these securities at the closing price in the principal active markets as of the last business day of the reporting period. The fair values of the Company's marketable securities by asset class are described in Note 5 "Marketable Securities" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022. We value the deferred compensation plan assets, which consist of money market and mutual funds, based on quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. For additional information on deferred compensation plans see also Note 14 "Employee and Retirement Benefit Plans" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022.

At the balance sheet date, the fair value of commodity derivatives contracts was determined using NYMEX quoted values and the value of the Interest rate swap derivative was derived by using level 3 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable-trade, Trade accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value. See also Note 15 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022, for more information.

Fair value of financial instruments not recognized at fair value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table below excludes Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable-trade, and Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of Current and Long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain financial guarantees and letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, was nominal.

Note 19 – Commitments

The Company leases land, gasoline stores, and other facilities under operating leases.  During the next five years, expected future rental payments under all operating leases are approximately $49.9 million in 2023, $49.6 million in 2024, $48.6 million in 2025, $47.9 million in 2026, and $47.1 million in 2027. 

Rental expense for noncancellable operating leases, including contingent payments when applicable, was $57.6 million in 2022, $48.7 million in 2021 and $24.9 million in 2020. 

Commitments for capital expenditures were approximately $365.9 million at December 31, 2022, including $310.8 million approved for potential construction of future stores (including land) at year-end, along with $7.6 million for improvements of existing stores, to be financed with our operating cash flow and/or incurrence of indebtedness.

The Company has certain take-or-pay contracts primarily to supply terminals with a noncancellable remaining term of 7.8 years. At December 31, 2022, our minimum annual payments under our take-or-pay contracts are estimated to be $8.4 million in 2023 and $6.9 million in 2024, $6.9 million in 2025, $6.9 million in 2026, and $4.3 million in 2027.

Note 20 — Contingencies 

The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax increases and retroactive tax claims; import and export controls; price controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; laws and regulations intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Because governmental actions are often motivated by political considerations, may be taken without full consideration of their consequences, and may be taken in response to actions of other governments, it is not practical to attempt to predict the likelihood of such actions, the form the actions may take or the effect such actions may have on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND LEGAL MATTERS — Murphy USA is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws, regulations and permit requirements dealing with the environment. Violation of such environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, and other sanctions. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations, claims by neighboring landowners, governmental authorities and other third parties for any personal injury, property damage and other losses that might result.

The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. In connection with these activities, hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where they have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose management of hazardous substances was not under the Company’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to remediate contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial actions to prevent future contamination. Certain of these contaminated properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any related liability and the availability of applicable defenses. With the sale of the U.S. refineries in 2011, Murphy Oil retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters. Murphy Oil also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures. With respect to the previously owned refinery properties, Murphy Oil retained those liabilities in the Separation and Distribution agreement that was entered into related to the separation on August 30, 2013.  With respect to any remaining potential liabilities, based on information currently available to the Company, the Company believes costs related to these

F-33

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

properties will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy USA’s net income, financial position or liquidity in a future period.

While it is possible that certain environmental expenditures could be recovered by the Company from other sources, primarily environmental funds maintained by certain states, no assurance can be given that future recoveries from these other sources will occur. As such, the Company has not recorded a benefit for likely recoveries at December 31, 2022, however certain jurisdictions provide reimbursement for these expenses which have been considered in recording the net exposure. The U.S. EPA currently considers the Company a PRP at one Superfund site.  As to the site, the potential total cost to all parties to perform necessary remedial work at this site may be substantial. However, based on current negotiations and available information, the Company believes that it is a de minimis party as to ultimate responsibility at the Superfund site. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability for remedial costs at the Superfund site at December 31, 2022. The Company could be required to bear a pro rata share of costs attributable to nonparticipating PRPs or could be assigned additional responsibility for remediation at this site or other Superfund sites. Based on information currently available to the Company, the Company believes that its share of the ultimate costs to clean-up this site will be immaterial and will not have a material adverse effect on its net income, financial position or liquidity in a future period.

Based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future remediation costs to be incurred to address known contamination sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. However, there is the possibility that additional environmental expenditures could be required to address contamination, including as a result of discovering additional contamination or the imposition of new or revised requirements applicable to known contamination, and such additional expenditures could be material.

Murphy USA is engaged in a number of other legal proceedings, all of which the Company considers routine and incidental to its business. Currently, the City of Charleston, South Carolina and the state of Delaware have filed lawsuits against energy companies, including the Company. These lawsuits allege damages as a result of climate change and the plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories. At this early stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters remain uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of those other legal matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.

INSURANCE — The Company maintains insurance coverage at levels that are customary and consistent with industry standards for companies of similar size. Murphy USA maintains statutory workers compensation insurance with a deductible of $1.0 million per occurrence, general liability insurance with a deductible of $3.0 million per occurrence, and auto liability insurance with a deductible of $0.3 million per occurrence. As of December 31, 2022, there were a number of outstanding claims that are of a routine nature. The estimated incurred but unpaid liabilities relating to these claims are included in Trade account payables and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. While the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot presently be determined, management believes that the accrued liability of $44.6 million will be sufficient to cover the related liability and that the ultimate disposition of these claims will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company has obtained insurance coverage as appropriate for the business in which it is engaged, but may incur losses that are not covered by insurance or reserves, in whole or in part, and such losses could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

TAX MATTERS — Murphy USA is subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions, including income taxes, indirect taxes (excise/duty, sales/use and gross receipts taxes), payroll taxes, franchise taxes, withholding taxes and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Many of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities because of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OTHER MATTERS — In the normal course of its business, the Company is required under certain contracts with various governmental authorities and others to provide financial guarantees or letters of credit that may be drawn upon if the Company fails to perform under those contracts. At December 31, 2022, the Company had contingent liabilities of $9.8 million on outstanding letters of credit. The Company has not accrued a liability in its balance sheet related to these financial guarantees and letters of credit because it is believed that the likelihood of having these drawn is remote.

Note 21 — Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 38 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 5 to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Due to the uncertainties of future markets, economic factors, technology changes, demographic shifts and behavior, environmental regulatory requirements and other information that impacts decisions as to store location, management has determined that it was not reasonably certain to exercise contract options and they are not included in the lease term. Additionally, short-term leases and leases with variable lease costs are immaterial. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or otherwise modify its lease agreements to determine if changes are required to the right of use assets and liabilities.

As the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company's lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Lessor — We have various arrangements for certain spaces for food service and vending equipment under which we are the lessor. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is immaterial. We also have certain areas where we sublease building and land space to others. This lease income is immaterial.

Lessee —We lease land for 435 stores, one terminal, and various equipment. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees and approximately 102 sites leased from Walmart contain restrictive covenants, though the restrictions are deemed to have an immaterial impact.

Note 22 — Recent Accounting and Reporting Rules

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. Under Topic 606, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the contracts. This is a departure from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities at fair value. This ASU is effective for the Company for the year beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company has determined this will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." The amendments in this Update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. These amendments apply to all entities and are effective upon issuance of the Update. The Company has determined this standard has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Note 23 — Business Segments

Our operations include the sale of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise along with the wholesale and bulk sale capabilities of our product supply and wholesale group. As the primary purpose of the product supply and wholesale group is to support our retail operations and provide fuel for their daily operation, the bulk and wholesale fuel sales are secondary to the support functions played by these groups. As such, they are all treated as one segment for reporting purposes as they sell the same products and have similar economic characteristics. This Marketing segment contains essentially all of the revenue generating activities of the Company. Results not included in the reportable segment include Corporate and Other Assets. The reportable segment was determined based on information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

                                                        Exhibit 4.4

DESCRIPTION OF THE REGISTRANT'S SECURITIES REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

Description of Capital Stock

The following description is a summary description of the capital stock of Murphy USA, Inc. (“Murphy USA,” “MUSA,” “we”, “us,” “our,” or the “Company”) and does not purport to be complete. The summary set forth below is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation (our “certificate of incorporation”) and our amended and restated bylaws (our “bylaws”), each of which are filed as exhibits to our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

General

Our authorized capital stock consists of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, and 20,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. All outstanding shares of common stock are fully paid and non-assessable.

Common Stock

Voting rights. The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters to be voted upon by the stockholders (other than matters relating solely to the terms of any preferred stock or directors elected solely by the holders thereof). Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws do not provide for cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.

Dividend rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the board of directors out of funds legally available therefor.

Rights upon liquidation. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Murphy USA, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after payment of liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding.

Other rights. The holders of our common stock have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock.

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors has the authority to issue, without further vote or action by the stockholders, the preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series.

The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of the common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation. In addition, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of Murphy USA without further action by the stockholders and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of common stock. At present, Murphy USA has no plans to issue any of the preferred stock.

Election and Removal of Directors

The number of directors may be fixed exclusively by one or more resolutions adopted from time to time solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the “whole board” (defined as the total number of authorized directorships at any given time, whether or not there exist any vacancies in previously authorized directorships).

In uncontested elections of directors, each director nominee will be elected only if the number of votes cast for such nominee exceeds the number of votes cast against such nominee. Directors who fail to receive a majority of votes cast in their favor must tender their resignation, which the board of directors can determine whether to accept or reject. In contested elections—the election of a director nominee that was properly nominated by a stockholder pursuant to the provisions of our bylaws—directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast.

No director is removable by the stockholders except for cause, and directors may be removed for cause only by an affirmative vote of a majority of the total voting power of our outstanding securities generally entitled to vote in the election of directors. Any vacancy occurring on the board of directors and any newly created directorship may be filled only by a majority of the remaining directors in office (although less than a quorum) or by the sole remaining director.

Staggered Board

Our board of directors is divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors are elected for three-year terms to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired. This classification of our board of directors could have the effect of increasing the length of time necessary to change the composition of a majority of the board of directors. In general, at least two annual meetings of stockholders will be necessary for stockholders to effect a change in a majority of the members of the board of directors.

Limits on Written Consent

Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not be effected by any consent in writing in lieu of a meeting of such stockholders.

Stockholder Meetings

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that special meetings of our common stockholders may be called only by our board of directors acting pursuant to a resolution adopted by a majority of the whole board. Our bylaws provide that business transacted at any special meeting will be limited to the purposes stated in the notice of such meeting.

Amendments to Our Governing Documents

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the amendment of the provisions described under “-Election and Removal of Directors,” “-Staggered Board,” “-Limits on Written Consents,” and “-Stockholder Meetings” require the affirmative vote of holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of our outstanding securities generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. Pursuant to Delaware law, the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares of stock will generally be required to amend other provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

Our bylaws are generally subject to alteration, amendment or repeal, and new bylaws may be adopted, with:

•the affirmative vote of a majority of the whole board; or

•the affirmative vote of holders of 66 2/3% of the total voting power of our outstanding securities generally entitled to vote in the election of directors, voting together as a single class.

Other Limitations on Stockholder Actions

Advance Notice of Proposals and Nominations. Our bylaws provide that stockholders must provide timely written notice to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders or to nominate candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders. Notice for an annual meeting is generally timely if it is received at our principal office not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting. However, if the date of the annual meeting is advanced by more than 30 days or delayed more than 70 days from this anniversary date, such notice by the stockholder must be delivered not earlier than the 120th day prior to the annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting was first made. Stockholders utilizing "proxy access" must meet separate deadlines Our bylaws also specify the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. These provisions may prevent stockholders from bringing matters before an annual meeting of stockholders or from nominating candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting of stockholders.

Proxy Access. Our bylaws contain "proxy access" provisions, which give an eligible stockholder (or a group of up to 20 stockholders aggregating their shares) that has owned 3% or more of the outstanding common stock continuously for at least three years the right to nominate the greater of two nominees and 20% of the number of directors to be elected at the applicable annual general meeting, and to have those nominees included in our proxy materials, subject to the other terms and conditions of our bylaws.

Limitation of Liability of Directors and Officers

Our certificate of incorporation provides that no director will be personally liable to us or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except as required by applicable law, as in effect from time to time. Currently, Delaware law requires that liability be imposed only for the following:

•any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the company or its stockholders;

•any act or omission not in good faith or which involved intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

•unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law; and

•any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

As a result, neither we nor our stockholders have the right, including through stockholders’ derivative suits on our behalf, to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, including breaches resulting from grossly negligent behavior, except in the situations described above.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we will indemnify any officer or director of our Company in connection with any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to which such person is, or is threatened to be made, a party, whether civil or criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of the fact that the person is or was our director or officer, or served any other enterprise at our request as a director or officer. We will reimburse the expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by a person indemnified by this provision in connection with any proceeding, including in advance of its final disposition, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Amending this provision will not reduce our indemnification obligations relating to actions taken before an amendment.

We maintain insurance for our officers and directors against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, under insurance policies, the premiums of which are paid by us. The effect of these are to indemnify any officer or director of the Company against expenses, judgments, attorney’s fees and other amounts paid in settlements incurred by an officer or director arising from claims against such persons for conduct in their capacities as officers or directors of the Company.

Forum Selection

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of Delaware General Corporation Law, our certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designations for any class or series of our preferred stock) or our bylaws, in each case, as amended from time to time, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine shall be a state or federal court located within the State of Delaware, in all cases subject to the court’s having personal jurisdiction over the indispensable parties named as defendants. Unless the Corporation consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for the resolution of any action asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act shall be the federal district courts of the United States of America, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of our capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the foregoing forum selection provisions.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Some Provisions

Some of the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws (as described above) could make the following more difficult:

•acquisition of control of us by means of a proxy contest or otherwise, or

•removal of our incumbent officers and directors.

These provisions, including our ability to issue preferred stock, are designed to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of us to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection will give us the potential ability to negotiate with the proponent of an unfriendly or unsolicited proposal to acquire or restructure us, and that the benefits of this increased protection will outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging those proposals, because negotiation of those proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

Delaware Business Combination Statute

We have elected to be subject to Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which regulates corporate acquisitions. Section 203 prevents an “interested stockholder,” which is defined generally as a person owning 15% or more of a corporation’s voting stock, or any affiliate or associate of that person, from engaging in a broad range of “business combinations” with the corporation for three years after becoming an interested stockholder unless:

•the board of directors of the corporation had, prior to the person becoming an interested stockholder, approved either the business combination or the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder;

•upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder’s becoming an interested stockholder, that person owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, other than statutorily excluded shares; or

•following the transaction in which that person became an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder.

Under Section 203, the restrictions described above also do not apply to specific business combinations proposed by an interested stockholder following the announcement or notification of designated extraordinary transactions involving the corporation and a person who had not been an interested stockholder during the previous three years or who became an interested stockholder with the approval of a majority of the corporation’s directors, if such extraordinary transaction is approved or not opposed by a majority of the directors who were directors prior to any person becoming an interested stockholder during the previous three years or were recommended for election or elected to succeed such directors by a majority of such directors.

Section 203 may make it more difficult for a person who would be an interested stockholder to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Section 203 also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management and could make it more difficult to accomplish transactions which our stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Our common stock is listed on the NYSE under the ticker symbol “MUSA.”

MURPHY USA INC.

TIME-BASED OPTION GRANT AGREEMENT

Time Based Stock Option Award Number:	Name of Optionee:	Number of Shares of Stock Subject to this Option:	Option Price Per Share:
[[GRANTNUMBER]]	[[FIRSTNAME]] [[LASTNAME]]	[[SHARESGRANTED]]	[[GRANTPRICE]]

This Option, granted on and dated [[GRANTDATE]] (the “Grant Date”), by Murphy USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to and for the purposes of the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended and restated effective as of February 9, 2017 (the “Plan”), is subject to the provisions set forth herein and in the Plan. This Option is designated a ‘non-qualified’ Option under the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.The Company hereby grants to the individual named above (the “Optionee”) an Option to purchase Shares of the $0.01 par value Common Stock of the Company from the Company up to the maximum number of Shares subject to the Option at the Option Price per share set forth above, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Plan.

2.Subject to paragraphs 3 and 5 below, one-half of the Shares subject to the Option pursuant to this Agreement shall vest and become exercisable on the two year anniversary of the Grant Date, and the remaining Shares subject to the Option shall vest and become exercisable on the three year anniversary of the Grant Date, in each case, subject to the Optionee’s continued employment through the applicable vesting date; provided, however, this Option shall not be exercisable whenever the purchase or delivery of Shares under this Option would be a violation of any law or any governmental regulation which the Company may find to be valid and applicable.

3.Except as set forth in paragraph 5, in the event the Optionee’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason other than due to (x) Retirement which occurs following the first anniversary of the Grant Date, (y) death or (z) total and permanent disability (as defined in the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan, “Disability”), any Options granted under this Agreement which are unvested as of the date of such termination of employment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon Retirement which occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date) will be immediately cancelled and forfeited for no consideration. In the event of the Optionee’s termination of employment due to the Optionee’s (A) Retirement which occurs following the first anniversary of the Grant Date, (B) death or (C) Disability, this Option will vest and become exercisable in full on the date of such termination.

Exhibit 10.12

4.This Option shall expire in the following situations:

a.If the Optionee’s employment terminated for any reason other than an involuntary termination by the Company for Cause (including, without limitation, due to Retirement, death or Disability), it shall expire on the earlier of (x) two years after the date of the Optionee’s termination of employment and (y) seven years after the Grant Date;

b.If the Optionee’s employment terminates due to an involuntary termination by the Company for Cause, it shall expire at the time of such termination;

c.In any event, it shall expire 7 years after the Grant Date.

d.To the extent that the Optionee was not entitled to exercise the Option at the date of termination, or if the Optionee does not exercise the Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall expire.

5.If, in connection with a Change in Control, this Option is assumed or continued by the buyer or the successor or surviving entity (or its parent) in such Change in Control, then, in the event of an involuntary termination of the Optionee’s employment by the Company without Cause or due to Optionee’s death or Disability, in each case within 24 months following a Change in Control, this Option will fully vest and 100% of the Option will be deemed to be earned and exercisable upon such termination. If this Option is not assumed or continued by the buyer or the successor or surviving entity (or its parent) in connection with a Change in Control, then, upon such Change in Control, this Option will fully vest and 100% of the Option will be deemed to be earned and exercisable as of immediately prior to such Change in Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Awardee’s: (i) willful failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform Awardee’s duties or obligations in connection with Awardee’s employment; (ii) having engaged in willful misconduct, gross negligence or a breach of fiduciary duty, or Awardee’s material breach of Awardee’s employment, services or similar agreement, if any, or any Company policy; (iii) Awardee’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, (x) a felony or (y) any other criminal offense involving moral turpitude, fraud or dishonesty; (iv) Awardee’s unlawful use or possession of illegal drugs on the Company’s premises or while performing his or her duties and responsibilities for the Company; or (v) Awardee’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation, in each case, against the Company or any of its Affiliates.

6.The Optionee’s right to exercise this Option may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred (except as hereinafter provided) and any attempts to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer shall be void and the Optionee’s rights to the Option shall therefore be forfeited. The Optionee’s right to exercise the Option shall, however, be transferable by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or the Optionee may make a written designation of a beneficiary on a form prescribed by the Company, which beneficiary (if any) shall succeed to the Optionee’s rights under this Agreement in the event of the Optionee’s death.

Exhibit 10.12

[[GRANTNUMBER]]	[[FIRSTNAME]] [[LASTNAME]]	[[SHARESGRANTED]]

This Restricted Stock Unit Award (this “Award”) is granted on and dated[[GRANTDATE]] (the “Grant Date”), by Murphy USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to and for the purposes of the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective as of February 9, 2017 (the “Plan”), subject to the provisions set forth herein and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.The Company hereby grants to the individual named above (the “Awardee”) this Award of Restricted Stock Units each equal in value to one share of the $0.01 par value Common Stock of the Company. This Award constitutes a right to receive Shares in the future and does not represent any current interest in the Shares subject to this Award.

2.Subject to paragraph 3 below, this Award shall vest as follows: 100% on the third anniversary of the Grant Date (the “Vesting Date”), subject to the Awardee’s continued service through the Vesting Date. This Award shall not vest whenever the delivery of Shares hereunder would be a violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation. Upon vesting, such Shares paid, together with any Dividend Shares (as defined below) paid, will be the net Shares earned less the number of Shares which must be withheld to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such payment of Shares and will be paid as soon as administratively feasible (but in no event more than 30 days following the vesting date).

3.Except as set forth in this paragraph 3 or in paragraph 4, if the Awardee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than the Awardee’s (x) Retirement which occurs following the first anniversary of the Grant Date, (y) death or (z) total and permanent disability (as defined in the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan, “Disability), this Award and the Awardee’s rights hereunder shall immediately be forfeited and cancelled as of the date of the Awardee’s termination of employment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, upon Retirement which occurs on or prior to the first anniversary of the Grant Date). In the event of the Awardee’s termination due to the Awardee’s (A) Retirement which occurs following the first anniversary of the Grant Date, (B) death or (C) Disability, prior to the Vesting Date, this Award will vest in full on the date of such termination and will be paid as soon as administratively feasible (but in no event more than 30 days following the date of termination). Subject to paragraph 4 and the Awardee’s execution and non-revocation of a release of claims in a form provided by the Company, in the event of Awardee’s

Exhibit 10.13

involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause, this Award will vest on the date of such termination (and paid as soon as administratively feasible (but in no event more than 30 days following such termination)) in an amount determined by multiplying the total number of Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending on the last day of the month in which such termination occurs, and the denominator of which is 36; provided that, the Awardee has, no later than fifty-five (55) days following the date of his or her termination of employment executed and not revoked a release of claims in a form provided by the Company. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Awardee’s: (i) willful failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform Awardee’s duties or obligations in connection with Awardee’s employment; (ii) having engaged in willful misconduct, gross negligence or a breach of fiduciary duty, or Awardee’s material breach of Awardee’s employment, services or similar agreement, if any, or any Company policy; (iii) Awardee’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, (x) a felony or (y) any other criminal offense involving moral turpitude, fraud or dishonesty; (iv) Awardee’s unlawful use or possession of illegal drugs on the Company’s premises or while performing his or her duties and responsibilities for the Company; or (v) Awardee’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation, in each case, against the Company or any of its Affiliates.

4.If, in connection with a Change in Control, this Award is assumed or continued by the buyer or the successor or surviving entity (or its parent) in such Change in Control, then, in the event of the Awardee’s involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause or due to Awardee’s death or Disability, in each case within 24 months following a Change in Control, this Award will fully vest and 100% of the Award will be deemed to be earned and Shares, including any Dividend Shares, will be issued, without restrictions, as soon as administratively feasible (but in no event more than 30 days following the date of such termination). If this Award is not assumed or continued by the buyer or the successor or surviving entity (or its parent) in connection with a Change in Control, then, upon such Change in Control, this Award will fully vest and 100% of the Award will be deemed to be earned and Shares, including any Dividend Shares, will be issued, without restrictions, as soon as administratively feasible (but in no event more than 30 days following the date of such Change in Control).

5.The Awardee’s right to this Award may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred (except as hereinafter provided) and any attempts to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer shall be void and the Awardee’s rights to the Restricted Stock Units shall therefore be forfeited. The Awardee’s right to the Restricted Stock Units shall, however, be transferable by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or the Awardee may make a written designation of a beneficiary on the form prescribed by the Company, which beneficiary (if any) shall succeed to the Awardee’s rights under this Agreement in the event of the Awardee’s death.

Exhibit 10.13

6.In the event of any relevant changes in the capitalization of the Company subsequent to the Grant Date, the number of Restricted Stock Units herein shall be adjusted to reflect such change in capitalization in accordance with the Plan.

7.The Awardee shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units or any Dividend Shares, unless and until such Shares with respect to the Restricted Stock Units or Dividend Shares are issued and are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

8.Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a dividend or other distribution is paid on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares underlying Restricted Stock Units are distributed to the Awardee, the Awardee shall receive a number of Dividend Equivalents to be paid in a number of whole and fractional Shares (“Dividend Shares”) with a value equal to the amount of the dividends or other distribution that the Awardee would have received had the Shares underlying the Restricted Stock Units been distributed to the Awardee based on the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the record date for such dividend or other distribution. Any such Dividend Equivalents shall vest and be paid to the Awardee at the same time as, and shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as set forth in this Agreement with respect to, the Restricted Stock Units. No Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Awardee with respect to any canceled or forfeited Restricted Stock Units.

9.Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer or be deemed to confer upon the Awardee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Awardee’s employment at any time with or without assigning a reason therefore.

10.The Plan and this Agreement are administered by the Committee. The Committee has the full authority to interpret and administer the Plan consistent with the terms and provisions of the plan document.

11.The Award is intended to be exempt from, or to otherwise comply with (to the extent subject thereto), Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with this intent. The Company reserves the right to modify the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment provisions applicable to the Award, to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Agreement that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A and becomes payable by reason of the Awardee’s termination of service with the Company shall be made to the Awardee until his or her termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Board considers Awardee to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A at the time of his or her “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A), and any amount hereunder is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, any distribution of such amount that otherwise would be made to

Exhibit 10.13

Awardee under this Award a result of such “separation from service” shall not be made until the date that is six months after such “separation from service,” except to the extent that earlier distribution would not result in Awardee incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A. The right to a series of installment payments under this Award shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and with respect to any right to “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Awardee’s right to such dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable to the Awardee on account of failure of the Awardee to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, under Section 409A.

PERFORMANCE STOCK UNIT GRANT AGREEMENT

Performance Stock Unit Grant ID:	Name of Awardee:	Number of Performance Stock Units Subject to this Award:
[[GRANTNUMBER]]	[[FIRSTNAME]] [[LASTNAME]]	[[SHARESGRANTED]]

This Performance Stock Unit Award (the “Award”), granted on and dated [[GRANTDATE]] (the “Grant Date”), by Murphy USA Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to and for the purposes of the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan as amended and restated effective as of February 9, 2017 (the “Plan”), is subject to the provisions set forth herein and in the Plan. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Plan.

1.The Company hereby grants to the individual named above (the “Awardee”) the target number of Performance Stock Units (the “Target Units”), each equal in value to one share of the $0.01 par value Common Stock of the Company outlined above. The maximum number of Performance Stock Units that can be earned is 200% of the Target Units. This Award constitutes a right to receive Shares in the future and does not represent any current interest in the Shares subject to this Award.

2.Performance Stock Units are earned over three (3) years beginning on January 1, 2023 and ending on December 31, 2025 (the “Performance Period”). The number of Performance Stock Units earned based on achievement of the Performance Measures (as defined below) during the Performance Period will be determined by the Committee during the first quarter of the fiscal year immediately following the completion of the Performance Period (such actual date of determination, the “Vesting Date”). Subject to paragraph 3 below, the earned Performance Units will vest on the Vesting Date, subject to the Awardee’s continued service through the Vesting Date. The Awardee will be paid one Share for each earned Performance Stock Unit that becomes vested, together with any Dividend Shares (as defined below) thereon, as soon as administratively feasible (but in no event more than 30 days) following the Vesting Date. This Award shall not vest or otherwise become payable if the delivery of Shares hereunder would be a violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation. Such Shares paid, together with any Dividend Shares paid, will be the net Shares earned and vested less the number of Shares which must be withheld to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such payment of Shares.

3.Except as set forth in this paragraph 3 or in paragraph 5, this Agreement shall terminate and the Awardee’s rights under this Agreement shall be cancelled and forfeited if the Awardee’s employment with the Company is terminated prior to the Vesting Date for any reason other than Retirement, death or total and permanent disability (as defined in the Company’s Long-Term Disability Plan, “Disability”). In the event of the Awardee’s

NOTE: In order to correctly value and expense the PSU grant in the stock award administration software program, your PSU grant is divided into two awards based on the performance metric being measured.The PSU grant ID ending in “ROACE” represents the portion of the grant based on the “return on average capital employed” performance metric. The PSU grant ID ending in “TSR” represents the portion of the grant based on the “relative total shareholder return” performance metric.

Exhibit 10.14

termination of employment due to the Awardee’s Retirement, death or Disability prior to the Vesting Date, the Awardee will be eligible to receive the pro-rata number of Shares earned for performance completed for the full Performance Period based upon the number of full months worked during the period beginning on the Grant Date and ending at the time of termination (not to exceed 36 months). In the event that the Performance Measures are satisfied, the pro-rated number of Performance Stock Units earned will be determined by the Committee and the Awardee will be paid one Share for each Performance Stock Unit earned, together with any Dividend Shares, following the Vesting Date in accordance with paragraph 2.

4.The Committee established two equally-weighted performance measures for this Award as follows (the “Performance Measures”):

a.Fifty percent (50%) of the Target Units are subject to the Company’s annualized total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the Performance Period compared to the TSR of the Company’s Peer Group (the “TSR Units”). The amount of the TSR Units earned (if any) is based on the Company’s percentile ranking in TSR over the Performance Period compared to that of the Peer Group. The “Peer Group” means the group set forth on Annex A hereto, as may be adjusted by the Committee in its sole discretion on account of events or circumstances which render the Peer Group or Peer Group member unsuitable, including on account for acquisitions, bankruptcies and other significant corporate transactions involving or impacting a member of the Peer Group. The portion of the TSR Units earned will be interpolated for points between the threshold and maximum achievement levels set forth below. TSR achievement and corresponding earning of the TSR Units (if any) shall be as follows:

Achievement Level	Percentile Rank Relative to Peers	Percent of TSR Units Earned
Maximum	≥ 75th	200%
Target	50th	100%
Threshold	25th	50%
Below Threshold	< 25th	0%

b.The remaining 50% of the Target Units are subject to the Company’s three-year average return on average capital employed (“ROACE”) ratio during the Performance Period as compared to the goals outlined below (the “ROACE Units”). The portion of the ROACE Units earned will be interpolated for points between the threshold and maximum achievement levels set forth below. ROACE goals and corresponding earning of the ROACE Units (if any) shall be as follows:

Exhibit 10.14

Achievement Level	3-Year Average ROACE Goal	Percent of ROACE Units Earned
Maximum	≥XX%	200%
Target	XX%	100%
Threshold	XX%	50%
Below Threshold	<XX%	0%

5.If, in connection with a Change in Control, this Award is assumed or continued by the buyer or the successor or surviving entity (or its parent) in such Change in Control, then, in the event of the Awardee’s involuntary termination of employment by the Company without Cause within 24 months following a Change in Control (and prior to the Vesting Date), this Award will immediately vest and the Performance Measures will be deemed earned at the greater of (x) the actual level of achievement of each Performance Measure, calculated from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control (to the extent determinable) and (y) the target level of each Performance Measure, and Shares, including any Dividend Shares, will be issued as soon as administratively feasible (but in no more than 30 days following the date of such termination). If this Award is not assumed or continued by the buyer or the successor or surviving entity (or its parent) in connection with a Change in Control, then, upon such Change in Control, this Award will immediately vest and the Performance Measures will be deemed earned at the greater of (x) the actual level of achievement of each Performance Measure, calculated from the beginning of the Performance Period through the date immediately preceding the date of the Change in Control (to the extent determinable) and (y) the target level of each Performance Measure, and Shares, including any Dividend Shares, will be issued as soon as administratively feasible (but in no more than 30 days following the date of the Change in Control). For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the Awardee’s: (i) willful failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform Awardee’s duties or obligations in connection with Awardee’s employment; (ii) having engaged in willful misconduct, gross negligence or a breach of fiduciary duty, or Awardee’s material breach of Awardee’s employment, services or similar agreement, if any, or any Company policy; (iii) Awardee’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, (x) a felony or (y) any other criminal offense involving moral turpitude, fraud or dishonesty; (iv) Awardee’s unlawful use or possession of illegal drugs on the Company’s premises or while performing his or her duties and responsibilities for the Company; or (v) Awardee’s commission of an act of fraud, embezzlement or misappropriation, in each case, against the Company or any of its Affiliates.

6.The Awardee’s right to this Award may not be sold, pledged, or otherwise transferred (except as hereinafter provided) and any attempts to sell, pledge, assign or otherwise transfer shall be void and the Awardee’s rights to the Performance Stock Units shall therefore be forfeited. The Awardee’s right to such Performance Stock Units shall, however, be transferable by will or pursuant to the laws of descent and distribution or the Awardee may make a written designation of a beneficiary on the form prescribed by the

Exhibit 10.14

Company, which beneficiary (if any) shall succeed to the Awardee’s rights under this Agreement in the event of the Awardee’s death.

7.In the event of any relevant changes in the capitalization of the Company subsequent to the Grant Date, the number of Performance Stock Units herein shall be adjusted to reflect such change in capitalization in accordance with the Plan.

8.The Awardee shall have no voting rights with respect to Shares underlying the Performance Stock Units or any Dividend Shares unless and until such Shares with respect to the Performance Stock Units or Dividend Shares are issued and are reflected as issued and outstanding shares on the Company’s stock ledger.

9.Unless otherwise determined by the Committee, if a dividend or other distribution is paid on Shares during the period commencing on the Grant Date and ending on the date on which the Shares underlying any Performance Stock Units earned are distributed to the Awardee, the Awardee shall receive a number of Dividend Equivalents to be paid in a number of whole and fractional Shares (“Dividend Shares”) with a value equal to the amount of the dividends or other distribution that the Awardee would have received had the Shares underlying the Target Units been distributed to the Awardee based on the Closing Price of the Common Stock on the record date for such dividend or other distribution. Any such Dividend Equivalents shall be subject to the Performance Measures as if granted as part of the Target Units and may earned and paid to the Awardee at the same time as, and shall be subject to the same vesting and forfeiture provisions as set forth in this Agreement with respect to, the Performance Stock Units. No Dividend Equivalents will be paid to the Awardee with respect to any unearned, canceled or forfeited Performance Stock Units.

10.Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer or be deemed to confer upon the Awardee any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company, nor interfere in any way with the right of the Company to terminate the Awardee’s employment at any time with or without assigning a reason therefore.

11.The Plan and this Agreement are administered by the Committee. The Committee has the full authority to interpret and administer the Plan consistent with the terms and provisions of the plan document.

12.The Award is intended to be exempt from, or to otherwise comply with (to the extent subject thereto), Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with this intent. The Company reserves the right to modify the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment provisions applicable to the Award, to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Agreement that constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A and becomes payable by reason of the Awardee’s termination of service with the Company shall be made to the Awardee until his or her termination of service constitutes

Exhibit 10.14

a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Board considers Awardee to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A at the time of his or her “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A), and any amount hereunder is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, any distribution of such amount that otherwise would be made to Awardee under this Award a result of such “separation from service” shall not be made until the date that is six months after such “separation from service,” except to the extent that earlier distribution would not result in Awardee incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A. The right to a series of installment payments under this Award shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and with respect to any right to “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Awardee’s right to such dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable to the Awardee on account of failure of the Awardee to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, under Section 409A.

8.The Award is intended to be exempt from, or to otherwise comply with (to the extent subject thereto) Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”) and shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with this intent. The Company reserves the right to modify the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment provisions applicable to the Award, to the extent necessary or advisable to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, no payment or distribution under this Agreement that

Exhibit 10.16

constitutes an item of deferred compensation under Section 409A and becomes payable by reason of the Awardee’s termination of service with the Company shall be made to the Awardee until his or her termination of service constitutes a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the Board considers Awardee to be a “specified employee” under Section 409A at the time of his or her “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A), and any amount hereunder is “deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A, any distribution of such amount that otherwise would be made to Awardee under this Award a result of such “separation from service” shall not be made until the date that is six months after such “separation from service,” except to the extent that earlier distribution would not result in Awardee incurring interest or additional tax under Section 409A.The right to a series of installment payments under this Award shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and not as a right to a single payment, and with respect to any right to “dividend equivalents” (within the meaning of Section 1.409A-3(e) of the Treasury Regulations), the Awardee’s right to such dividend equivalents shall be treated separately from the right to other amounts under the Award. Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Company or any Affiliate be liable to the Awardee on account of failure of the Awardee to (i) qualify for favorable U.S. or foreign tax treatment or (ii) avoid adverse tax treatment under U.S. or foreign law, including, without limitation, under Section 409A.

Description of Business and Basis of Presentation

The business of Murphy USA Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Murphy USA”, "we", or the “Company”) primarily consists of the U.S. retail marketing business that was separated from its former parent company, Murphy Oil Corporation (“Murphy Oil”), plus other assets, liabilities and operating expenses of Murphy Oil that were associated with supporting the activities of the U.S. retail marketing operations.  Murphy USA was incorporated in March 2013. The separation was approved by the Murphy Oil board of directors on August 7, 2013, and was completed on August 30, 2013 through the distribution of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Murphy USA to holders of Murphy Oil common stock on the record date of August 21, 2013. Following the separation, Murphy USA is an independent, publicly traded company, and Murphy Oil retains no ownership interest in Murphy USA. On January 29, 2021, MUSA acquired 100% of Quick Chek Corporation ("QuickChek"), a privately held convenience store chain with a strong regional brand that consisted of 156 stores at the time of acquisition, located in New Jersey and New York, in an all-cash transaction. For additional information concerning the acquisition, see Note 6, "Business Acquisition".

Murphy USA markets refined products through a network of retail gasoline stores and unbranded wholesale customers and in addition, we operate non-fuel convenience stores in select markets. The Company owns and operates a chain of retail stores under the brand name of Murphy USA® which are almost all located in close proximity to Walmart stores, markets gasoline and other products at standalone stores under the Murphy Express brand, and also has a mix of convenience stores and convenience stores with retail gasoline that operate under the name of QuickChek®. At December 31, 2022, Murphy USA had a total of 1,712 Company stores in 27 states, of which 1,151 were Murphy USA, 404 were Murphy Express and 157 were QuickChek. The Company also has certain product supply and wholesale assets, including product distribution terminals and pipeline positions.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies

Significant Accounting Policies

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Murphy USA Inc. and its subsidiaries for all periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our petroleum products, convenience merchandise, Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") and other assets to our third-party customers. Revenue is measured as the amounts of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Excise and sales tax that we collect where we have determined we are the principal in the transaction have been recorded as revenue on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.

The Company enters into buy/sell and similar arrangements when petroleum products are held at one location but are needed at a different location. The Company often pays or receives funds related to the buy/sell arrangement based on location or quality differences. The Company accounts for such transactions as non-monetary exchanges under existing accounting guidance and typically reports these on a net basis in its Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 3 "Revenues" for additional information.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS – Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of motor fuel are included in Petroleum product cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements. Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of convenience store merchandise are included in Merchandise cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements.

TAXES COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS AND REMITTED TO GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES – Excise and other taxes collected on sales of refined products and remitted to governmental agencies are included in operating revenues and operating expenses in the Consolidated Income Statements. Excise taxes on

petroleum products collected and remitted were $2.2 billion in 2022, $2.0 billion in 2021, and $1.8 billion in 2020.

CASH EQUIVALENTS – Short-term investments, which include government securities, money market funds and other instruments with government securities as collateral, that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES – The Company considers highly liquid treasury notes, corporate debt securities, and other funds with original maturities of more than three months to be marketable securities. Securities with less than one year to maturity are included in short-term marketable securities, and all other securities are classified as long-term marketable securities. Marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale when the Company does not have the intent to hold securities to maturity to allow flexibility in response to liquidity needs and are carried at fair value. The Company records securities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 5 "Marketable Securities" and Note 18 "Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value" for additional information on our policy and the fair value measurement of the Company's marketable securities.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts owed to the Company from credit card companies and by customers for wholesale sales of refined petroleum products. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on these receivables. The Company reviews this allowance for adequacy at least quarterly and bases its assessment on a combination of current information about its customers and historical write-off experience. Any trade accounts receivable balances written off are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not experienced any significant credit-related losses in the past three years.

INVENTORIES – Inventories of petroleum products located at Murphy branded stores are valued at the lower of cost, generally applied on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis, or market, while petroleum products located at QuickChek branded stores are valued at weighted average cost. Any increments to LIFO inventory volumes are valued based on the first purchase price for these volumes during the year. Merchandise inventories held for resale at Murphy branded stores are carried at average cost. Certain merchandise inventories at QuickChek stores are on a LIFO basis while all other items are valued on average cost. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

VENDOR ALLOWANCES AND REBATES – Murphy USA receives payments for vendor allowances, volume rebates and other related payments from various suppliers of its convenience store merchandise. Vendor allowances for price markdowns are credited to merchandise cost of goods sold during the period the related markdown is recognized. Volume rebates of merchandise are recorded as reductions to merchandise cost of goods sold when the merchandise qualifying for the rebate is sold. Slotting and stocking allowances received from a vendor are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales over the period covered by the agreement.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS – The Company accounts for business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred. The purchase price is allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess recorded as goodwill. These fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a measurement period of up to one year to provide reasonable time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any such measurement period adjustments are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed as incurred.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – Additions to property, plant and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are capitalized and recorded at cost. Certain marketing facilities are primarily depreciated using the composite straight-line method with depreciable lives ranging from 16 to 25 years. Gasoline stores,

improvements to gasoline stores and other assets are depreciated over 3 to 50 years by individual unit on the straight-line method. The Company capitalizes interest costs as a component of construction in progress on individually significant projects based on the weighted average interest rates incurred on its long-term borrowings. Total interest cost capitalized was $1.1 million in 2022, $2.1 million in 2021 and $1.4 million in 2020.

The Company has undertaken like-kind exchange ("LKE") transactions under the Federal tax code in an effort to acquire and sell real property in a tax efficient manner. The Company generally enters into forward transactions, in which property is sold and the proceeds are reinvested by acquiring similar property; and reverse transactions, in which property is acquired and similar property is subsequently sold. A qualified LKE intermediary is used to facilitate these LKE transactions. Proceeds from forward LKE transactions are held by the intermediary and are classified as restricted cash on the Company's balance sheet because the funds must be reinvested in similar properties. If the acquisition of suitable LKE properties is not completed within 180 days of the sale of the Company-owned property, the proceeds are distributed to the Company by the intermediary and are reclassified as available cash and applicable income taxes are determined. An exchange accommodation titleholder, a type of variable interest entity, is used to facilitate reverse like-kind exchanges. The acquired assets are held by the exchange accommodation titleholder until the exchange transactions are complete. If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of the exchange accommodation titleholder, the replacements assets held by the exchange accommodation titleholder are consolidated and recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unspent proceeds that are held in trust with the intermediary are recorded as noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the cash was restricted for the acquisition of similar properties. At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had no open LKE transactions with an intermediary.

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS – Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, and are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the asset group to which the intangible assets belong might be impaired. The Company revises the estimated remaining useful life of these assets when events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision. If the Company revises the useful life, the unamortized balance is amortized over the useful life on a prospective basis.

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS – Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS – The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The ARO liability is initially recorded in the period in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed in service. The ARO liability is estimated using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the original liability. The liability is increased over time to reflect the change in its present value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related long-lived asset. The Company reevaluates the adequacy of its recorded ARO liability at least annually. Actual costs of asset retirements such as dismantling service stores and site restoration are charged against the related liability. Any difference between costs incurred upon settlement of an asset retirement obligation and the recorded liability is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES – A liability for environmental matters is established when it is probable that an environmental obligation exists and the cost can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of reasonably estimated costs, the most likely amount will be recorded, or if no amount is most likely, the minimum of the

range is used. Related expenditures are charged against the liability. Environmental remediation liabilities have not been discounted for the time value of future expected payments. Environmental expenditures that have future economic benefit are capitalized.

INCOME TAXES – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates that are assumed will be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company routinely assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets based on available positive and negative evidence including assumptions of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and other pertinent factors.  A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period.  The accounting principles for income tax uncertainties permit recognition of income tax benefits only when they are more likely than not to be realized.  

The Company has elected to classify any interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in Income tax expense in the Consolidated Income Statements.

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – The fair value of a derivative instrument is recognized as an asset or liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and therefore, recognize changes in the fair value of the contract in earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception and on an ongoing basis whether a derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge is recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the consolidated Balance Sheets until the hedged item is recognized currently in earnings. If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized immediately in earnings. If a hedge is de-designated, hedge accounting will no longer apply and from that time the gain and losses will be recognized in earnings and any accumulated amounts in other comprehensive income will be amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the underlying instrument. See Note 15 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" and Note 18 "Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value" for further information about the Company’s derivatives.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – The fair value of awarded stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock units is determined based on a combination of management assumptions for awards issued. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for computing the fair value of stock options. The primary assumptions made by management included the expected life of the stock option award and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock prices. The Company uses both historical data and current information to support its assumptions. Stock option expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of three years. The Company uses a Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of performance-based stock units that are based on performance compared against a peer group and the related expense is recognized over the three-year requisite service period. Management estimates the number of all awards that will not vest and adjusts its compensation expense accordingly. Differences between estimated and actual vested amounts are accounted for as an adjustment to expense when known. See Note 13 "Incentive Plans" for a discussion of the basis of allocation of such costs.

USE OF ESTIMATES – In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from

the estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Marketing segment

Petroleum product sales (at retail). For our retail store locations, the revenue related to petroleum product sales is recognized as the fuel is pumped to our customers. The transaction price at the pump typically includes some portion of sales or excise taxes as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. Our customers typically use a mixture of cash, checks, credit cards and debit cards to pay for our products as they are received. We have accounts receivable from the various credit/debit card providers at any point in time related to product sales made on credit cards and debit cards. These receivables are typically collected in two to seven days, depending on the terms with the particular credit/debit card providers. Payment fees retained by the credit/debit card providers are recorded as store and other operating expenses.

Petroleum product sales (at wholesale). Our sales of petroleum products at wholesale are generally recorded as revenue when the deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Title transfer for bulk refined product sales typically occurs at pipeline custody points and upon trucks loading at product terminals. For bulk pipeline sales, we record receivables from customers that are generally collected within a week from custody transfer date. For our rack product sales, the majority of our customers' accounts are drafted by us within 10 days from product transfer.

Merchandise sales. For our retail store locations, the revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized as the customer completes their purchase at our locations. The transaction price typically includes some portion of sales tax as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. As noted above, a mixture of payment types are used for these revenues and the same terms for credit/debit card receivables are realized.

The most significant judgment with respect to merchandise sales revenue is determining whether we are the principal or agent for some categories of merchandise such as lottery tickets, lotto tickets, newspapers and other small categories of merchandise. For scratch-off lottery tickets, we have determined we are the principal in the majority of the jurisdictions and therefore we record those sales on a gross basis. We have some categories of merchandise (such as lotto tickets) where we are the agent and the revenues recorded for those transactions are our net commission only.

The Company offers loyalty programs through its Murphy USA, Murphy Express, and QuickChek branded retail locations. The customers earn rewards based on their spending or other promotional activities. These programs create a performance obligation which requires us to defer a portion of sales revenue to the loyalty program participants until they redeem their rewards. The rewards may be redeemed for free or discounted merchandise or cash discounts at all stores and on fuel purchases at Murphy USA and Murphy Express stores. Earned rewards expire after an account is inactive for a period of 90 days at Murphy USA and Murphy Express, while certain QuickChek rewards require use within the month. We recognize loyalty revenue when a customer redeems an earned reward. Deferred revenue associated with both rewards programs are included in Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

RINs sales. For the sale of RINs, we recognize revenue when the RIN is transferred to the counter-party and the sale is completed. Receivables from our counter-parties related to the RIN sales are typically collected within five days of the sale.

Other revenues. Items reported as other operating revenues include collection allowances for excise and sales tax and other miscellaneous items and are recognized as revenue when the transaction is completed.

Accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable on the balance sheet represents both receivables related to contracts with customers and other trade receivables. At December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had $164.1 million and $111.8 million of receivables, respectively, related to contracts with customers recorded. All of the trade accounts receivable related to contracts with customers outstanding at the end of each period were collected during the succeeding quarter. These receivables were generally related to credit and debit card transactions along with short term bulk and wholesale sales from our customers, which have a very short settlement window.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]

Business Acquisition

Business Acquisition

On January 29, 2021, MUSA acquired 100% of QuickChek, a privately-held convenience store chain with a regional brand which consisted of 156 stores located in New Jersey and New York, in an all-cash transaction. The acquisition was made to expand the MUSA network into the Northeast by adding stores that had an existing food and beverage model and is consistent with the Company's stated strategic priorities of developing enhanced food and beverage capabilities and accelerating its growth plans.

The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net, identifiable assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are a mixture of direct and reverse synergies that are expected to be realized as a result of this acquisition. The direct synergies include additional margin capture on the retail fuel side from the tactical pricing decisions and improved benefits from increased scale on the product acquisition side combined with other cost savings in both merchandise and store operations. The reverse synergies reflect management's ability to leverage QuickChek's product pricing and operational capabilities related to food and beverage sales to Murphy branded stores. All fair values were final as of December 31, 2021.

The Company has determined that the trade name has an indefinite life, as there is no economic, contractual, or other factors that limit its useful life and expects to generate value as long as the trade name is utilized, and therefore is not subject to amortization. The fair value of intangible assets was based on widely-accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flows.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred at the date of the acquisition, as well as the calculation of goodwill based on the excess of consideration over the fair value of net assets acquired:

(Millions of dollars)	January 29, 2021
Cash paid to shareholders	$	641.9
Less: cash and cash equivalents acquired	0.8
Fair value of consideration transferred, net of cash acquired	$	641.1
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivable	$	8.0
Inventories	24.3
Prepaid expenses and other current assets	5.5
Property and equipment	447.1
Right of use assets	237.6
Other assets	5.4
Identified intangible assets	106.8
Liabilities assumed:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses	(68.4)
Deferred income tax liabilities	(58.5)
Asset retirement obligation	(1.2)
Current and long term debt, including finance lease obligations	(148.5)
Deferred credits and other liabilities	(7.4)
Operating lease liabilities	(237.6)
Net assets acquired	313.1

(Millions of dollars)	January 29, 2021
Goodwill	328.0
Fair value of consideration transferred, net of cash and cash equivalents acquired	$	641.1

In connection with the acquisition, the Company recognized certain acquisition-related expenses which were expensed as incurred. These expenses, recognized within acquisition related costs in the consolidated statements of operations, include amounts related to transaction and integration costs, including fees for advisory and professional services incurred as part of the acquisition and integration costs subsequent to the acquisition in the amount of $1.5 million, $10.4 million, and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.

Senior Notes

On April 25, 2017, Murphy Oil USA, Inc., our primary operating subsidiary, issued $300 million of 5.625% Senior Notes due 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes") under its existing shelf registration statement. The 2027 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Murphy USA, and are guaranteed by certain 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantee our credit facilities. The indenture governing the 2027 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Murphy USA, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and the restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, dispose of assets, make certain restricted payments or investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge with or into other entities.

On September 13, 2019, Murphy Oil USA, Inc., issued $500 million of 4.75% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Senior Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Senior Notes were used to fund, in part, the tender offer and redemption of the prior notes issuance. The 2029 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Murphy USA, and are guaranteed by certain 100% owned subsidiaries that guarantee our credit

facilities. The indenture governing the 2029 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 Senior Notes.

On January 29, 2021, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. issued $500 million of 3.75% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Senior Notes" and, together with the 2027 Senior Notes and the 2029 Senior Notes, the "Senior Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 2031 Senior Notes were used, in part, to fund the acquisition of QuickChek and other obligations related to that transaction. The 2031 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and by the Company's subsidiaries that guarantee our Credit Facilities. The indenture governing the 2031 Senior Notes contains restrictive covenants that are essentially identical to the covenants for the 2027 and 2029 Senior Notes.

The Senior Notes and related guarantees rank equally with all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and effectively junior to our and the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness (including indebtedness with respect to the Credit Facilities) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness.  The Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future third-party liabilities, including trade payables, of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a new credit agreement that consists of both a cash flow revolving credit facility and a senior secured term loan and that replaced the Company’s prior ABL facility and term loan.

The credit agreement provides for a senior secured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million (the “Term Facility”) (which was borrowed in full on January 29, 2021) and revolving credit commitments in an aggregate amount equal to $350.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”, and together with the Term Facility, the “Credit Facilities”). The outstanding balance of the term loan was $394.0 million at December 31, 2022. The revolving facility expires January 2026 while the term loan is due January 2028 and requires quarterly principal payments of $1.0 million beginning July 1, 2021. As of December 31, 2022, we had none outstanding under the revolving facility, while there were $4.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the amount available to borrow.

Interest payable on the Credit Facilities is based on either:

•the London interbank offered rate, adjusted for statutory reserve requirements (the “Adjusted LIBO Rate”); or

•the Alternate Base Rate, which is defined as the highest of (a) the rate of interest last quoted by The Wall Street Journal as the “Prime Rate”, (b) the greater of federal funds effective rate and the overnight bank funding rate determined by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from time to time plus 0.50% per annum and (c) the one-month Adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.00% per annum,

plus, (A) in the case of Adjusted LIBO Rate borrowings, (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, spreads ranging from 1.75% to 2.25% per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, a spread of 1.75% per annum and (B) in the case of Alternate Base Rate borrowings (i) with respect to the Revolving Facility, spreads ranging from 0.75% to 1.25% per annum depending on a total debt to EBITDA ratio or (ii) with respect to the Term Facility, a spread of 1.75% per annum.

The Term Facility amortizes in quarterly installments starting with the first amortization payment being due on July 1, 2021 at a rate of 1.00% per annum. Murphy USA is also required to prepay the Term Facility with a portion of its excess cash flow, a portion of the net cash proceeds of certain asset sales and casualty events (subject to certain reinvestment rights) and the net cash proceeds of issuances of indebtedness not permitted under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement allows Murphy USA to prepay, in whole or in part, the Term Facility outstanding thereunder, together with any accrued and unpaid interest, with prior notice but without premium or penalty other than breakage and redeployment costs.

The credit agreement contains certain covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or liens, to make certain investments, to enter into sale-leaseback transactions, to make certain restricted payments, to enter into consolidations, mergers or sales of material assets and other fundamental changes, to transact with affiliates, to enter into agreements restricting the ability of subsidiaries to incur liens or pay dividends, or to make certain accounting changes. The credit agreement also contains total leverage ratio and secured net leverage ratio financial maintenance covenants solely for the benefit of the revolving facility which are tested quarterly. Pursuant to the total leverage ratio financial maintenance covenant, the Company must maintain a total leverage ratio of not more than 5.0 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 5.5 to 1.0 and a maximum secured net leverage ratio of not more than 3.75 to 1.0 with an ability in certain circumstances to temporarily increase that limit to 4.25 to 1.0. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default.

Pursuant to the credit agreement's covenant limiting certain restricted payments, certain payments in respect of our equity interests, including dividends, when the total leverage ratio, calculated on a pro forma basis, is greater than 3.0 to 1.0, could be limited. At December 31, 2022, our total leverage ratio was 1.5 to 1.0 which meant our ability at that date to make restricted payments was not limited. If our total leverage ratio, on a pro forma basis, exceeds 3.0 to 1.0, any restricted payments made following that time until the ratio is once again, on a pro forma basis, below 3.0 to 1.0 would be limited by the covenant, which contains certain exceptions, including an ability to make restricted payments in an aggregate not to exceed the greater of $106.7 million or 4.5% of consolidated net tangible assets over the life of the credit agreement.

All obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed by Murphy USA and the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and all obligations under the credit agreement, including the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by certain assets of Murphy USA, Murphy Oil USA, Inc. and the guarantors party thereto.

Asset Retirement Obligation Disclosure [Abstract]

Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)

Asset Retirement Obligations (ARO)

The majority of the ARO recognized by the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021 is related to the estimated costs to dismantle and abandon certain of its retail gasoline stores. The Company has not recorded an ARO for certain of its marketing assets because sufficient information is presently not available to estimate a range of potential settlement dates for the obligation. These assets are consistently being upgraded and are expected to be operational into the foreseeable future. In these cases, the obligation will be initially recognized in the period in which sufficient information exists to estimate the obligation.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending aggregate carrying amount of the ARO is shown in the following table:

	December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021
Balance at beginning of period	$	39.2	$	35.1
Addition for acquisition	—		1.2
Accretion expense	2.7		2.5
Settlement of liabilities	(2.3)		(1.0)
Liabilities incurred	3.7		1.4
Balance at end of period	$	43.3	$	39.2

The estimation of future ARO is based on a number of assumptions requiring professional judgment. The Company cannot predict the type of revisions to these assumptions that may be required in future periods due to the lack of availability of additional information.

Income Taxes

The components of income before income taxes for each of the three years ended December 31, 2022 and income tax expense (benefit) attributable thereto were as follows:

	Years Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Income (loss) before income taxes	$	883.8	$	521.9	$	509.1

Total	$	210.9	$	125.0	$	123.0

The following table reconciles income taxes based on the U.S. statutory tax rate to the Company’s income tax expense (benefit).

	Years Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Income tax expense based on the U.S. statutory tax rate	$	185.6	$	109.6	$	106.9

An analysis of the Company’s deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities at December 31, 2022 and 2021 showing the tax effects of significant temporary differences is as follows:

	December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021
Deferred tax assets
Property costs and asset retirement obligations	$	5.9	$	5.2
Net operating loss	—		6.3
Employee benefits	10.7		8.6
Operating leases liability	97.6		89.7
Other deferred tax assets	13.6		11.8
Total gross deferred tax assets	127.8		121.6
Deferred tax liabilities
Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(316.0)		(285.4)
State deferred taxes	(30.5)		(31.7)
Operating leases right of use assets	(94.4)		(88.0)
Other deferred tax liabilities	(14.3)		(12.4)
Total gross deferred tax liabilities	(455.2)		(417.5)
Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(327.4)	$	(295.9)

In management’s judgment, the deferred tax assets in the preceding table will more likely than not be realized as reductions of future taxable income or utilized by available tax planning strategies.

As of December 31, 2022, the earliest year remaining open for Federal audits and/or settlement is 2019 and for state audits and/or settlement is 2018. Although the Company believes that recorded liabilities for unsettled issues are adequate, additional gains or losses could occur in future periods from resolution of outstanding unsettled matters.

The FASB’s rules for accounting for income tax uncertainties clarify the criteria for recognizing uncertain income tax benefits and require additional disclosures about uncertain tax positions.  Under U.S. GAAP the financial statement recognition of the benefit for a tax position is dependent upon the benefit being more likely than not to be sustainable upon audit by the applicable taxing authority. If this threshold is met, the tax benefit is then measured and recognized at the largest amount that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Liabilities associated with uncertain income tax positions are included in Deferred Credits and Other Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of the consolidated liability for unrecognized income tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is shown in the following table:

	Year Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021
Balance at January 1	$	0.5	$	0.4
Additions for tax positions related to prior years	0.2		0.3
Expiration of statutes of limitation	(0.1)		(0.2)
Balance at December 31	$	0.6	$	0.5

All additions or reductions to the above liability affect the Company’s effective tax rate in the respective period of change.  The Company accounts for any applicable interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.  Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 included immaterial amounts of interest and penalties, associated with uncertain tax positions. Of these amounts shown in the table, $0.5 million and $0.4 million represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact our effective tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

During the next twelve months, the Company does not expect a material change to the liability for uncertain taxes. Although existing liabilities could be reduced by settlement with taxing authorities or lapse due to statute of limitations, the Company believes that the changes in its unrecognized tax benefits due to these events will not have a material impact on the Consolidated Income Statement during 2023. 

Total excess tax benefits for equity compensation recognized in the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were $2.9 million, $4.9 million, and $2.2 million, respectively.

Incentive Plans

2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan

Effective August 30, 2013, certain of our employees began to participate in the Murphy USA 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which was subsequently amended and restated effective as of February 8, 2017 (the “MUSA 2013 Plan”). The MUSA 2013 Plan authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors (“the Committee”) to grant non-qualified or incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards (including restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards), dividend equivalent units, cash awards, and performance awards to our employees. No more than 5.5 million shares of common stock may be delivered under the MUSA 2013 Plan and no more than 1 million shares of common stock may be awarded to any one employee, subject to adjustment for changes in capitalization. The maximum cash amount payable pursuant to any “performance-based” award to any participant in any calendar year is $5.0 million.

During the period from August 30, 2013 to December 31, 2022, the Company granted a total of 2,805,086 awards from the MUSA 2013 Plan which leaves 2,694,914 remaining shares to be granted in future years (after consideration of the amendments made to the MUSA 2013 Plan in February 2014 by the Board of Directors).  At present, the Company expects to issue all shares that vest out of existing treasury shares rather than issuing new common shares.

2013 Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors

Effective August 8, 2013, Murphy USA adopted the 2013 Murphy USA Stock Plan for Non-employee Directors (the “Directors Plan”).  The directors for Murphy USA are compensated with a mixture of cash payments and equity-based awards.  Awards under the Directors Plan may be in the form of restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalent units, stock options, or a combination thereof.  An aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock shall be available for issuance of grants under the Directors Plan.  Since 2013, 150,673 time-based restricted stock units have been granted under the terms of the Directors Plan which leaves 349,327 shares available to be granted in the future. 

Amounts recognized in the financial statements by the Company with respect to all share-based plans are shown in the following table:

 

	Years Ended December 31,
(Millions of dollars)	2022		2021		2020
Compensation charged against income before income tax benefit	$	16.0	$	14.4	$	14.3
Related income tax benefit recognized in income	$	3.4	$	3.0	$	3.0

As of December 31, 2022, there was $24.0 million in compensation costs to be expensed over approximately the next 1.8 years related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted by the Company.  Employees who have stock options are required to net settle their options in shares, after applicable statutory withholding taxes are considered, upon each stock option exercise. Therefore, no cash is received upon exercise. Total income tax benefits realized from tax deductions related to stock option exercises under share-based payment arrangements were $1.0 million, $0.3 million, and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.  

The Company issues dividend equivalent units ("DEU") on all outstanding, unvested equity awards (except stock options) in an amount commensurate with regular quarterly dividends paid on common stock. The terms of the DEU mirror the underlying awards and will only vest if the related award vests. DEU's issued are included with grants in each respective table as applicable.

STOCK OPTIONS (MUSA 2013 Plan) – The Committee fixes the option price of each option granted at no less than fair market value (FMV) on the date of the grant and fixes the option term at no more than 7 years from such date.

Most of the nonqualified stock options granted to certain employees by the Committee were granted in February 2022.  

Following are the assumptions used by the Company to value the original awards:

	Years Ended December 31,

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (MUSA 2013 Plan) – The Committee has granted time based restricted stock units (RSUs) as part of the compensation plan for its executives and certain other employees since its inception. The awards granted in the current year were under the MUSA 2013 Plan, are valued at the grant date fair value, and vest over three years. 

Changes in restricted stock units outstanding for Company employees during the period from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 are presented in the following table:

Employee RSUs	Number of units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Total Fair Value (Millions of Dollars)

Outstanding at December 31, 2022	149,366	$	125.51	$	41.8

PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (MUSA 2013 Plan) – In February 2022, the Committee awarded performance-based restricted stock units (performance units) to certain employees.  Half of the performance units vest based on a three-year return on average capital employed (ROACE) calculation and the other half vest based on a three-year total shareholder return (TSR) calculation that compares MUSA to a group of 18 peer companies.  The portion of the awards that vest based on TSR qualify as a market condition and must be valued using a Monte Carlo valuation model.  For the TSR portion of the awards, the fair value was determined to be $259.17 per unit.  For the ROACE portion of the awards, the valuation was based on the grant

date fair value of $181.18 per unit and the number of awards will be periodically assessed to determine the probability of vesting. 

Changes in performance-based restricted stock units outstanding for Company employees during the period from December 31, 2021 to December 31, 2022 are presented in the following table:

Employee PSU's	Number of Units	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value		Total Fair Value (Millions of Dollars)

Outstanding at December 31, 2022	106,001	$	160.03	$	29.6

RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS (Directors Plan) – The Committee has also granted time based RSUs to the non-employee directors of the Company as part of their overall compensation package for being a member of the Board of Directors.  These awards typically vest at the end of three years.

Employee and Retiree Benefit Plans

THRIFT PLAN – Most full-time employees of the Company may participate in defined contribution savings plans by contributing up to a specified percentage of their base pay.  The Company matches contributions for Murphy USA eligible employees at 100% of each employee’s contribution with a maximum match of 6%.  In addition, the Company makes profit sharing contributions on an annual basis for Murphy USA employees.  Eligible employees receive a stated percentage of their base and incentive pay of 5%, 7%, or 9% determined on a formula that is based on a combination of age and years of service.  The Company maintained the thrift plan of QuickChek on acquisition, and matches 100% of the first 3% and 50% of the next 2% contributed by eligible employees. The Company’s combined expenses related to these plans were $17.3 million in 2022, $16.9 million in 2021 and $15.3 million in 2020.

PROFIT SHARING PLAN – Eligible part-time employees of Murphy USA may participate in the Company’s noncontributory profit sharing plan.  Each year, the Company may make a discretionary employer contribution in an amount determined and authorized at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  Eligible employees receive an allocation based on their compensation earned for the year the contribution is allocated.  The Company’s expenses related to this plan were $1.6 million in 2022, $1.1 million in 2021 and $1.8 million in 2020. 

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT – The Company provides a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan ('SERP'), a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for Murphy USA employees, to eligible executives and certain members of management. The SERP plan is intended to restore qualified defined contribution plan benefits restricted under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to certain highly-compensated individuals. The liability balances, net of associated assets, were $5.5 million and $4.7 million, at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectfully.

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Financial Instruments and Risk Management

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS — The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded primarily with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Certain interest rate derivative contracts were accounted for as hedges and gain or loss associated with recording the fair value of these contracts was deferred in AOCI until the anticipated transactions occur. As of December 31, 2022, all current commodity derivative activity is immaterial.

Cash deposits were none at December 31, 2022 and at December 31, 2021 the cash deposit was $0.6 million related to commodity derivative contracts and were reported in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These cash deposits have not been used to reduce the reported net liabilities on the derivative contracts at December 31, 2022 and 2021. 

Interest Rate Risks

Under hedge accounting rules, the Company deferred the net charge or benefit associated with the interest rate swap entered into to manage the variability in interest payments for the variable-rate debt in association with $150.0 million of our outstanding term loan dated August 27, 2019 until the debt was repaid on January 29, 2021. At that time the hedge was de-designated and therefore hedge accounting is no longer applicable and mark-to-market gains and losses are recognized in the period in which the change occurs in the Consolidated Statement of income in interest expense. The current loan balance subject to the hedge is $67.5 million. The Company is reclassifying the accumulated other comprehensive loss on the previous interest rate swap, $2.4 million as of the de-designation date, into interest expense using a straight-line approach over the remaining life of the originally designated hedging relationship. The amount of pre-tax gains in accumulated other comprehensive loss that was reclassified into interest expense was $0.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, leaving a balance of $0.6 million at December 31, 2022. Prior to the de-designation, changes in the fair values of the interest rate swaps were recorded as a component of other comprehensive loss.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per common share adjusts basic earnings per common share for the effects of stock options and restricted stock in the periods where such items are dilutive. 

On December 1, 2021, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase authorization of up to $1 billion to begin upon completion of the $500 million authorization made in October 2020, and is to be executed by December 31, 2026. During the year 2022, the total number of share repurchases were 3,328,795 common shares for $806.4 million, at an average price of $242.24 per share. The 2022 shares repurchased included 3,226,379 common shares for $786.3 million, at an average price of $243.72 per share under the 2021 $1 billion authorization, leaving approximately $213.7 million remaining available, as of December 31, 2022, and included 102,416 common shares repurchased for $20.0 million, at an average price of $195.45 per share which completed the October 2020 $500 million authorization.

Purchases in 2021 and 2020 under the October 2020 authorization were 2,398,477 common shares for $355.0 million, at an average price of $148.00 per share and 969,654 common shares for $125.0 million, at an average price of $128.91 per share, respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share computations for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.

Assets and Liabilities Measure at Fair Value

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Assets and Liabilities Measure at Fair Value

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value

The Company carries certain assets and liabilities at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value hierarchy is based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value, with Level 1 being the highest quality and Level 3 being the lowest quality. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs which reflect assumptions about pricing by market participants.

The Company's available-for-sale marketable securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. We value these securities at the closing price in the principal active markets as of the last business day of the reporting period. The fair values of the Company's marketable securities by asset class are described in Note 5 "Marketable Securities" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022. We value the deferred compensation plan assets, which consist of money market and mutual funds, based on quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. For additional information on deferred compensation plans see also Note 14 "Employee and Retirement Benefit Plans" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022.

At the balance sheet date, the fair value of commodity derivatives contracts was determined using NYMEX quoted values and the value of the Interest rate swap derivative was derived by using level 3 inputs. The carrying value of the Company’s Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable-trade, Trade accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximates fair value. See also Note 15 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" in these consolidated financial statements for the period ended December 31, 2022, for more information.

Fair value of financial instruments not recognized at fair value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The table below excludes Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable-trade, and Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities, all of which had fair values approximating carrying amounts. The fair value of Current and Long-term debt was estimated based on rates offered to the Company at that time for debt of the same maturities. The Company has off-balance sheet exposures relating to certain financial guarantees and letters of credit. The fair value of these, which represents fees associated with obtaining the instruments, was nominal.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of financial instruments held by the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Commitments

Commitments

The Company leases land, gasoline stores, and other facilities under operating leases.  During the next five years, expected future rental payments under all operating leases are approximately $49.9 million in 2023, $49.6 million in 2024, $48.6 million in 2025, $47.9 million in 2026, and $47.1 million in 2027. 

Rental expense for noncancellable operating leases, including contingent payments when applicable, was $57.6 million in 2022, $48.7 million in 2021 and $24.9 million in 2020. 

Commitments for capital expenditures were approximately $365.9 million at December 31, 2022, including $310.8 million approved for potential construction of future stores (including land) at year-end, along with $7.6 million for improvements of existing stores, to be financed with our operating cash flow and/or incurrence of indebtedness.

Contingencies

Dec. 31, 2022

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Contingencies

Contingencies 

The Company’s operations and earnings have been and may be affected by various forms of governmental action. Examples of such governmental action include, but are by no means limited to: tax increases and retroactive tax claims; import and export controls; price controls; allocation of supplies of crude oil and petroleum products and other goods; laws and regulations intended for the promotion of safety and the protection and/or remediation of the environment; governmental support for other forms of energy; and laws and regulations affecting the Company’s relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, stockholders and others. Because governmental actions are often motivated by political considerations, may be taken without full consideration of their consequences, and may be taken in response to actions of other governments, it is not practical to attempt to predict the likelihood of such actions, the form the actions may take or the effect such actions may have on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS AND LEGAL MATTERS — Murphy USA is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws, regulations and permit requirements dealing with the environment. Violation of such environmental laws, regulations and permits can result in the imposition of significant civil and criminal penalties, injunctions, and other sanctions. A discharge of hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent such event is not adequately insured, subject the Company to substantial expense, including the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations, claims by neighboring landowners, governmental authorities and other third parties for any personal injury, property damage and other losses that might result.

The Company currently owns or leases, and has in the past owned or leased, properties at which hazardous substances have been or are being handled. In connection with these activities, hazardous substances may have been disposed of or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Company or on or under other locations where they have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose management of hazardous substances was not under the Company’s control. Under existing laws, the Company could be required to remediate contaminated property (including contaminated groundwater) or to perform remedial actions to prevent future contamination. Certain of these contaminated properties are in various stages of negotiation, investigation, and/or cleanup, and the Company is investigating the extent of any related liability and the availability of applicable defenses. With the sale of the U.S. refineries in 2011, Murphy Oil retained certain liabilities related to environmental matters. Murphy Oil also obtained insurance covering certain levels of environmental exposures. With respect to the previously owned refinery properties, Murphy Oil retained those liabilities in the Separation and Distribution agreement that was entered into related to the separation on August 30, 2013.  With respect to any remaining potential liabilities, based on information currently available to the Company, the Company believes costs related to these

properties will not have a material adverse effect on Murphy USA’s net income, financial position or liquidity in a future period.

While it is possible that certain environmental expenditures could be recovered by the Company from other sources, primarily environmental funds maintained by certain states, no assurance can be given that future recoveries from these other sources will occur. As such, the Company has not recorded a benefit for likely recoveries at December 31, 2022, however certain jurisdictions provide reimbursement for these expenses which have been considered in recording the net exposure. The U.S. EPA currently considers the Company a PRP at one Superfund site.  As to the site, the potential total cost to all parties to perform necessary remedial work at this site may be substantial. However, based on current negotiations and available information, the Company believes that it is a de minimis party as to ultimate responsibility at the Superfund site. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability for remedial costs at the Superfund site at December 31, 2022. The Company could be required to bear a pro rata share of costs attributable to nonparticipating PRPs or could be assigned additional responsibility for remediation at this site or other Superfund sites. Based on information currently available to the Company, the Company believes that its share of the ultimate costs to clean-up this site will be immaterial and will not have a material adverse effect on its net income, financial position or liquidity in a future period.

Based on information currently available to the Company, the amount of future remediation costs to be incurred to address known contamination sites is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s future net income, cash flows or liquidity. However, there is the possibility that additional environmental expenditures could be required to address contamination, including as a result of discovering additional contamination or the imposition of new or revised requirements applicable to known contamination, and such additional expenditures could be material.

Murphy USA is engaged in a number of other legal proceedings, all of which the Company considers routine and incidental to its business. Currently, the City of Charleston, South Carolina and the state of Delaware have filed lawsuits against energy companies, including the Company. These lawsuits allege damages as a result of climate change and the plaintiffs are seeking unspecified damages and abatement under various tort theories. At this early stage, the ultimate outcome of these matters remain uncertain, and neither the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome nor the ultimate liability, if any, can be determined. Based on information currently available to the Company, the ultimate resolution of those other legal matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s net income, financial condition or liquidity in a future period.

INSURANCE — The Company maintains insurance coverage at levels that are customary and consistent with industry standards for companies of similar size. Murphy USA maintains statutory workers compensation insurance with a deductible of $1.0 million per occurrence, general liability insurance with a deductible of $3.0 million per occurrence, and auto liability insurance with a deductible of $0.3 million per occurrence. As of December 31, 2022, there were a number of outstanding claims that are of a routine nature. The estimated incurred but unpaid liabilities relating to these claims are included in Trade account payables and accrued liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. While the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot presently be determined, management believes that the accrued liability of $44.6 million will be sufficient to cover the related liability and that the ultimate disposition of these claims will have no material effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The Company has obtained insurance coverage as appropriate for the business in which it is engaged, but may incur losses that are not covered by insurance or reserves, in whole or in part, and such losses could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position.

TAX MATTERS — Murphy USA is subject to extensive tax liabilities imposed by multiple jurisdictions, including income taxes, indirect taxes (excise/duty, sales/use and gross receipts taxes), payroll taxes, franchise taxes, withholding taxes and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Many of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities because of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.

OTHER MATTERS — In the normal course of its business, the Company is required under certain contracts with various governmental authorities and others to provide financial guarantees or letters of credit that may be drawn upon if the Company fails to perform under those contracts. At December 31, 2022, the Company had contingent liabilities of $9.8 million on outstanding letters of credit. The Company has not accrued a liability in its balance sheet related to these financial guarantees and letters of credit because it is believed that the likelihood of having these drawn is remote.

Leases [Abstract]

Leases

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 38 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 5 to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Due to the uncertainties of future markets, economic factors, technology changes, demographic shifts and behavior, environmental regulatory requirements and other information that impacts decisions as to store location, management has determined that it was not reasonably certain to exercise contract options and they are not included in the lease term. Additionally, short-term leases and leases with variable lease costs are immaterial. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or otherwise modify its lease agreements to determine if changes are required to the right of use assets and liabilities.

As the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company's lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Lessor — We have various arrangements for certain spaces for food service and vending equipment under which we are the lessor. These leases meet the criteria for operating lease classification. Lease income associated with these leases is immaterial. We also have certain areas where we sublease building and land space to others. This lease income is immaterial.

Lessee —We lease land for 435 stores, one terminal, and various equipment. Our lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees and approximately 102 sites leased from Walmart contain restrictive covenants, though the restrictions are deemed to have an immaterial impact.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]

Recent Accounting and Reporting Rules

Recent Accounting and Reporting Rules

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. Under Topic 606, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the contracts. This is a departure from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities at fair value. This ASU is effective for the Company for the year beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business Segments

Business Segments

Our operations include the sale of retail motor fuel products and convenience merchandise along with the wholesale and bulk sale capabilities of our product supply and wholesale group. As the primary purpose of the product supply and wholesale group is to support our retail operations and provide fuel for their daily operation, the bulk and wholesale fuel sales are secondary to the support functions played by these groups. As such, they are all treated as one segment for reporting purposes as they sell the same products and have similar economic characteristics. This Marketing segment contains essentially all of the revenue generating activities of the Company. Results not included in the reportable segment include Corporate and Other Assets. The reportable segment was determined based on information reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Principles of Consolidation

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION – These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of Murphy USA Inc. and its subsidiaries for all periods presented. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions within the consolidated financial statements have been eliminated.

Revenue Recognition, Shipping and Handling Costs and Vendor Allowances and Rebates

REVENUE RECOGNITION – Revenue is recognized when obligations under the terms of a contract with our customers are satisfied; generally, this occurs with the transfer of control of our petroleum products, convenience merchandise, Renewable Identification Numbers ("RINs") and other assets to our third-party customers. Revenue is measured as the amounts of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Excise and sales tax that we collect where we have determined we are the principal in the transaction have been recorded as revenue on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis.

The Company enters into buy/sell and similar arrangements when petroleum products are held at one location but are needed at a different location. The Company often pays or receives funds related to the buy/sell arrangement based on location or quality differences. The Company accounts for such transactions as non-monetary exchanges under existing accounting guidance and typically reports these on a net basis in its Consolidated Income Statements. See Note 3 "Revenues" for additional information.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING COSTS – Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of motor fuel are included in Petroleum product cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements. Costs incurred for the shipping and handling of convenience store merchandise are included in Merchandise cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Income Statements.

VENDOR ALLOWANCES AND REBATES – Murphy USA receives payments for vendor allowances, volume rebates and other related payments from various suppliers of its convenience store merchandise. Vendor allowances for price markdowns are credited to merchandise cost of goods sold during the period the related markdown is recognized. Volume rebates of merchandise are recorded as reductions to merchandise cost of goods sold when the merchandise qualifying for the rebate is sold. Slotting and stocking allowances received from a vendor are recorded as a reduction to cost of sales over the period covered by the agreement.

Petroleum product sales (at retail). For our retail store locations, the revenue related to petroleum product sales is recognized as the fuel is pumped to our customers. The transaction price at the pump typically includes some portion of sales or excise taxes as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. Our customers typically use a mixture of cash, checks, credit cards and debit cards to pay for our products as they are received. We have accounts receivable from the various credit/debit card providers at any point in time related to product sales made on credit cards and debit cards. These receivables are typically collected in two to seven days, depending on the terms with the particular credit/debit card providers. Payment fees retained by the credit/debit card providers are recorded as store and other operating expenses.

Petroleum product sales (at wholesale). Our sales of petroleum products at wholesale are generally recorded as revenue when the deliveries have occurred and legal ownership of the product has transferred to the customer. Title transfer for bulk refined product sales typically occurs at pipeline custody points and upon trucks loading at product terminals. For bulk pipeline sales, we record receivables from customers that are generally collected within a week from custody transfer date. For our rack product sales, the majority of our customers' accounts are drafted by us within 10 days from product transfer.

Merchandise sales. For our retail store locations, the revenue related to merchandise sales is recognized as the customer completes their purchase at our locations. The transaction price typically includes some portion of sales tax as levied in the respective jurisdictions. Those taxes that are collected for remittance to governmental entities on a pass through basis are not recognized as revenue and they are recorded to a liability account until they are paid. As noted above, a mixture of payment types are used for these revenues and the same terms for credit/debit card receivables are realized.

The most significant judgment with respect to merchandise sales revenue is determining whether we are the principal or agent for some categories of merchandise such as lottery tickets, lotto tickets, newspapers and other small categories of merchandise. For scratch-off lottery tickets, we have determined we are the principal in the majority of the jurisdictions and therefore we record those sales on a gross basis. We have some categories of merchandise (such as lotto tickets) where we are the agent and the revenues recorded for those transactions are our net commission only.

The Company offers loyalty programs through its Murphy USA, Murphy Express, and QuickChek branded retail locations. The customers earn rewards based on their spending or other promotional activities. These programs create a performance obligation which requires us to defer a portion of sales revenue to the loyalty program participants until they redeem their rewards. The rewards may be redeemed for free or discounted merchandise or cash discounts at all stores and on fuel purchases at Murphy USA and Murphy Express stores. Earned rewards expire after an account is inactive for a period of 90 days at Murphy USA and Murphy Express, while certain QuickChek rewards require use within the month. We recognize loyalty revenue when a customer redeems an earned reward. Deferred revenue associated with both rewards programs are included in Trade accounts payable and accrued liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred revenue balances at December 31, 2022 and 2021 were immaterial.

RINs sales. For the sale of RINs, we recognize revenue when the RIN is transferred to the counter-party and the sale is completed. Receivables from our counter-parties related to the RIN sales are typically collected within five days of the sale.

Other revenues. Items reported as other operating revenues include collection allowances for excise and sales tax and other miscellaneous items and are recognized as revenue when the transaction is completed.

Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Government Authorities

TAXES COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS AND REMITTED TO GOVERNMENT AUTHORITIES – Excise and other taxes collected on sales of refined products and remitted to governmental agencies are included in operating revenues and operating expenses in the Consolidated Income Statements.

Cash Equivalents

CASH EQUIVALENTS – Short-term investments, which include government securities, money market funds and other instruments with government securities as collateral, that have a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents.

Marketable Securities

MARKETABLE SECURITIES – The Company considers highly liquid treasury notes, corporate debt securities, and other funds with original maturities of more than three months to be marketable securities. Securities with less than one year to maturity are included in short-term marketable securities, and all other securities are classified as long-term marketable securities. Marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity when the Company has both the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity and are carried at amortized cost. Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale when the Company does not have the intent to hold securities to maturity to allow flexibility in response to liquidity needs and are carried at fair value. The Company records securities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheets, with unrealized gains and losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). See Note 5 "Marketable Securities" and Note 18 "Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value" for additional information on our policy and the fair value measurement of the Company's marketable securities.

Accounts Receivable

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE – The Company’s accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The accounts receivable primarily consists of amounts owed to the Company from credit card companies and by customers for wholesale sales of refined petroleum products. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses on these receivables. The Company reviews this allowance for adequacy at least quarterly and bases its assessment on a combination of current information about its customers and historical write-off experience. Any trade accounts receivable balances written off are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company has not experienced any significant credit-related losses in the past three years.

Inventories

INVENTORIES – Inventories of petroleum products located at Murphy branded stores are valued at the lower of cost, generally applied on a last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) basis, or market, while petroleum products located at QuickChek branded stores are valued at weighted average cost. Any increments to LIFO inventory volumes are valued based on the first purchase price for these volumes during the year. Merchandise inventories held for resale at Murphy branded stores are carried at average cost. Certain merchandise inventories at QuickChek stores are on a LIFO basis while all other items are valued on average cost. Materials and supplies are valued at the lower of average cost or net realizable value.

Business Combinations

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS – The Company accounts for business combinations under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase price of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration transferred. The purchase price is allocated to the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with any excess recorded as goodwill. These fair value determinations require judgment and may involve the use of significant estimates and assumptions. The purchase price allocation may be provisional during a measurement period of up to one year to provide reasonable time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Any such measurement period adjustments are recognized in the period in which the adjustment amount is determined. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition are expensed as incurred.

Property, Plant and Equipment

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT – Additions to property, plant and equipment, including renewals and betterments, are capitalized and recorded at cost. Certain marketing facilities are primarily depreciated using the composite straight-line method with depreciable lives ranging from 16 to 25 years. Gasoline stores, improvements to gasoline stores and other assets are depreciated over 3 to 50 years by individual unit on the straight-line method. The Company capitalizes interest costs as a component of construction in progress on individually significant projects based on the weighted average interest rates incurred on its long-term borrowings. Total interest cost capitalized was $1.1 million in 2022, $2.1 million in 2021 and $1.4 million in 2020. The Company has undertaken like-kind exchange ("LKE") transactions under the Federal tax code in an effort to acquire and sell real property in a tax efficient manner. The Company generally enters into forward transactions, in which property is sold and the proceeds are reinvested by acquiring similar property; and reverse transactions, in which property is acquired and similar property is subsequently sold. A qualified LKE intermediary is used to facilitate these LKE transactions. Proceeds from forward LKE transactions are held by the intermediary and are classified as restricted cash on the Company's balance sheet because the funds must be reinvested in similar properties. If the acquisition of suitable LKE properties is not completed within 180 days of the sale of the Company-owned property, the proceeds are distributed to the Company by the intermediary and are reclassified as available cash and applicable income taxes are determined. An exchange accommodation titleholder, a type of variable interest entity, is used to facilitate reverse like-kind exchanges. The acquired assets are held by the exchange accommodation titleholder until the exchange transactions are complete. If the Company determines that it is the primary beneficiary of the exchange accommodation titleholder, the replacements assets held by the exchange accommodation titleholder are consolidated and recorded in Property, Plant and Equipment on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unspent proceeds that are held in trust with the intermediary are recorded as noncurrent assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as the cash was restricted for the acquisition of similar properties.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS – Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred over the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed and is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment. Acquired finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, and are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the asset group to which the intangible assets belong might be impaired. The Company revises the estimated remaining useful life of these assets when events or changes in circumstances warrant a revision. If the Company revises the useful life, the unamortized balance is amortized over the useful life on a prospective basis.

Impairment of Assets

IMPAIRMENT OF ASSETS – Long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and finite-lived assets, are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually. A long-lived asset is not recoverable if its carrying amount exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. If a long-lived asset is not recoverable, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the long-lived asset exceeds its fair value, with fair value determined based on discounted estimated net cash flows or other appropriate methods.

Asset Retirement Obligations

ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS – The Company records a liability for asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) equal to the fair value of the estimated cost to retire an asset. The ARO liability is initially recorded in the period in which the obligation meets the definition of a liability, which is generally when the asset is placed in service. The ARO liability is estimated using existing regulatory requirements and anticipated future inflation rates. When the liability is initially recorded, the Company increases the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset by an amount equal to the original liability. The liability is increased over time to reflect the change in its present value, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related long-lived asset. The Company reevaluates the adequacy of its recorded ARO liability at least annually. Actual costs of asset retirements such as dismantling service stores and site restoration are charged against the related liability. Any difference between costs incurred upon settlement of an asset retirement obligation and the recorded liability is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements.

Environmental Liabilities

ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES – A liability for environmental matters is established when it is probable that an environmental obligation exists and the cost can be reasonably estimated. If there is a range of reasonably estimated costs, the most likely amount will be recorded, or if no amount is most likely, the minimum of the range is used. Related expenditures are charged against the liability. Environmental remediation liabilities have not been discounted for the time value of future expected payments. Environmental expenditures that have future economic benefit are capitalized.

Income Taxes

INCOME TAXES – The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates that are assumed will be in effect when the differences reverse. The Company routinely assesses the realizability of deferred tax assets based on available positive and negative evidence including assumptions of future taxable income, tax planning strategies and other pertinent factors.  A deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded when evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that all or a portion of these deferred tax assets will not be realized in a future period.  The accounting principles for income tax uncertainties permit recognition of income tax benefits only when they are more likely than not to be realized.  

The Company has elected to classify any interest expense and penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes in Income tax expense in the Consolidated Income Statements.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES – The fair value of a derivative instrument is recognized as an asset or liability in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Upon entering into a derivative contract, the Company may designate the derivative as either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge, or decide that the contract is not a hedge, and therefore, recognize changes in the fair value of the contract in earnings. The Company documents the relationship between the derivative instrument designated as a hedge and the hedged items as well as its objective for risk management and strategy for use of the hedging instrument to manage the risk. Derivative instruments designated as fair value or cash flow hedges are linked to specific assets and liabilities or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company assesses at inception and on an ongoing basis whether a derivative instrument accounted for as a hedge is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. A derivative that is not a highly effective hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of a qualifying fair value hedge is recorded in earnings along with the gain or loss on the hedged item. The effective portion of the change in the fair value of a qualifying cash flow hedge is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in the consolidated Balance Sheets until the hedged item is recognized currently in earnings. If a derivative instrument no longer qualifies as a cash flow hedge and the underlying forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, hedge accounting is discontinued and the gain or loss recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized immediately in earnings. If a hedge is de-designated, hedge accounting will no longer apply and from that time the gain and losses will be recognized in earnings and any accumulated amounts in other comprehensive income will be amortized to earnings over the remaining life of the underlying instrument. See Note 15 "Financial Instruments and Risk Management" and Note 18 "Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value" for further information about the Company’s derivatives.DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS — The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage certain risks related to commodity prices and interest rates. The use of derivative instruments for risk management is covered by operating policies and is closely monitored by the Company’s senior management. The Company does not hold any derivatives for speculative purposes and it does not use derivatives with leveraged or complex features. Derivative instruments are traded primarily with creditworthy major financial institutions or over national exchanges such as the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”). For accounting purposes, the Company has not designated commodity derivative contracts as hedges, and therefore, it recognizes all gains and losses on these derivative contracts in its Consolidated Statement of Income. Certain interest rate derivative contracts were accounted for as hedges and gain or loss associated with recording the fair value of these contracts was deferred in AOCI until the anticipated transactions occur.

Stock-Based Compensation

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION – The fair value of awarded stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance stock units is determined based on a combination of management assumptions for awards issued. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for computing the fair value of stock options. The primary assumptions made by management included the expected life of the stock option award and the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock prices. The Company uses both historical data and current information to support its assumptions. Stock option expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of three years. The Company uses a Monte Carlo valuation model to determine the fair value of performance-based stock units that are based on performance compared against a peer group and the related expense is recognized over the three-year requisite service period. Management estimates the number of all awards that will not vest and adjusts its compensation expense accordingly. Differences between estimated and actual vested amounts are accounted for as an adjustment to expense when known. See Note 13 "Incentive Plans" for a discussion of the basis of allocation of such costs.

Use of Estimates

USE OF ESTIMATES – In preparing the financial statements of the Company in conformity with U.S. GAAP, management has made a number of estimates and assumptions related to the reporting of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from the estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease or contains a lease at inception. Operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company's leases have remaining lease terms of approximately 1 year to 38 years, which may include the option to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain the Company will exercise the option. Most leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from 5 to 20 years or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. Due to the uncertainties of future markets, economic factors, technology changes, demographic shifts and behavior, environmental regulatory requirements and other information that impacts decisions as to store location, management has determined that it was not reasonably certain to exercise contract options and they are not included in the lease term. Additionally, short-term leases and leases with variable lease costs are immaterial. The Company reviews all options to extend, terminate, or otherwise modify its lease agreements to determine if changes are required to the right of use assets and liabilities.As the implicit interest rate is not readily determinable in most of the Company's lease agreements, the Company uses its estimated secured incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of lease payments.

Recent Accounting and Reporting Rules

Recent Accounting and Reporting Rules

In August 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, "Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers," which requires an acquirer in a business combination to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities (deferred revenue) from acquired contracts using the revenue recognition guidance in Topic 606. Under Topic 606, the acquirer applies the revenue model as if it had originated the contracts. This is a departure from the current requirement to measure contract assets and contract liabilities at fair value. This ASU is effective for the Company for the year beginning January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company has determined this will not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848." The amendments in this Update defer the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022, to December 31, 2024. These amendments apply to all entities and are effective upon issuance of the Update. The Company has determined this standard has not had a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
